Hey all,

I'm looking to buy a new leather band for my Apple Watch in the range of $20-100 but all the ones I've seen have the stainless steel lugs - I'm not a fan of this look with the aluminium watch. I wondered if anyone had seen any decent leather bands with aluminium (or other material) lugs? Sort of how like the Apple nylon bands have the plastic lugs - that's fine for me.

Thanks in advance!

I believe both Monowear and Clockwork Synergy allow you to customize the lugs when you buy. I have a Monowear band and am not that impressed with the quality (but it was only $30 so I can't complain too much). Haven't bought anything from Clockwork Synergy.
 
I too have a Monowear leather band. Lugs and buckle are dark, black matte finish, that goes really well with my Space Gray watch. But leather is cheap and looks almost plastic. No texture of any kind...but only cost $18!
 
Thanks for the responses! Checked out both, am tempted to go with Monowear. Thanks again.
 
This leather band comes with black lugs but I get confused which lugs. One the pictures show smaller lugs that look just like Apple band compared to other pics which have larger sized lugs.
