Apple Watch Band 42mm – iWatch Bands 42mm Apple Watch Band Men & Women for Series 3 Series 2 Series 1 Nike, Hermes and Sport Edition by Innoavations – Matte Black Leather

This is the nicest 3rd party band I've gotten so far for the Apple Watch. The leather is super nice, the stitching is high quality, and the whole thing looks and feels like quality. Because of the almost suede-like soft leather, it does stain easily. The only other drawback, and the only thing keeping it from being a 5 star product, is the attachments to the watch are not nearly as smooth and high quality as Apple's. I believe those are now available to 3rd parties, so it would be nice if this brand even sold a more expensive version with the genuine fasteners.

I have to start off by saying that I really love this product, but you get what you pay for. The price is great and the product looks great but if you will be wearing it daily, it will deteriorate quite quickly. Attached are pictures of when I first wore it and after almost a month. while the underside of the band is getting darker by the day, it still looks good from most peoples perspectives since that part does not show that often. I definitely would buy another one once I feel this one becomes too damaged.

Great looking watchband and seems to be made of good quality. Unfortunately it barely fits my wrist. Based on the description and my measurements, I thought it would fit well. It’s on the last hole and the end of the band won’t go into the loop which makes it look kind of silly. Guess someone with a petite wrist is going to get a nice gift from me. Im giving 4 stars as I didn’t feel like the size description was very accurate.

Wow. I wish I had a vocabulary good enough to describe my overall opinion and experience with this product. I'll start at the beginning. After ordering it I received an email with great directions from an actual human!! The message advised me that if I had any issues to respond to the email directly. Then I received the product one day ahead of the expected delivery date. The band is amazing. You can immediately tell it is not made cheap. Quality stitching and leather. ( also comes with a complimentary screen protector, which is a 15 dollar value in itself). The packaging is nice enough to gift and it has a nice note included. But after all that I received another email asking to let them know if I received the package. I responded with I have and it's a great product. And only a few minutes later I received an email stating the following:"Dear Dann,Thank you for taking the time to reply, I'm extremely happy you liked our product!I just wanted to let you know there's an actual human being over here and if you have any issue with the product I'll be glad to help.I hope you enjoy using it!Have a lovely day!All the best,SteveFounder at Innoavations"I'm now a loyal customer.

The watch band looks good and feels fine. Some of the stitching isn’t as symmetrical or straight as I’d have hoped. Also, the part that connects to the watch doesn’t closely match my stainless steel version, but would probably better match the silver aluminum. This isn’t a huge deal. Last thing is that after wearing for less than two hours in my office I’ve already got some pretty good scuffs (as shown) and I can’t imagine this will look very good for very long. The price is low, so I guess I shouldn’t have expected much.

You get quite a lot of bang for your buck with this band!It looks quite sturdily built, so this is a band that will hold up after some abuse. I like that it’s not glossy. Be aware that it’s going to take a bit of time for it to loosen up, as is the case with most leather bands, so it might feel a bit unwieldy at first. I wish it came with a space grey option, but no coating means no possibility of the coating wearing off.Overall, it’s a steal for less than $20. Cosmetically, I wish that it tapered a bit toward the whole length of the sides, but I realize that that might be more of a personal preference. It is quite wide and I don’t know that I’ve made my mind up on whether it looks good with my space gray watch face, so you might want to consider that if you have that color watch face. I’ve worn it for two weeks now and it feels exceptionally made. In the end, this is a good band to have and a great value for the money.

Giving this a 3 only b/c after a week or so, when removing my watch the band snapped. However, it was very good looking & I want another b/c I believe the breaking was just a fluke. I have sent the band back, & really would like them to just send me another one & not credit me back... Hopefully the right person to do that reads this review & just ship me another one. If you want to help with the inconvenience, ship me one in brown as well... Thanks!

This band is GORGEOUS and Very comfortable! Innovations has such a friendly customer service and they do beautiful work. I am VERY impressed with the professionalism and the quality product. Defiantly recommended, as I was cautiously looking through leather bands on Amazon, I was very lucky to find the Innovations one. Great service! This is the email I sent over to innovations to thank them to sum it up " I have received the 42mm Band, and let me emphasize my gratitude! It’s beautiful (I’m a huge fan of leather products from sheathes to my boots and belts) and I gotta say this is very well done. I’m VERY impressed with the professionalism and the willingness to satisfy your customers. I am as appreciative for the kind responses from you than you are for the sale as you said in the box. Having kind customer service is appreciated, so thank you very much! The band is comfortable and great looking, switched out my other one as soon as I received the Innovations band. You have gained a loyal customer and I will most definitely be ordering more bands in the future!"
