Can Leather Link band get wet?

[spiderman0616]

As the titles says--anyone gotten one of these wet yet and did it live to fight another day? I bought one today because I started using sleep tracking recently and have found the silicone material of the standard bands uncomfortable to sleep in. (I'm possibly a bit allergic to the material, so maybe overnight wear was just pushing it too far.) I have other Nike/Sport bands I can switch to if I think I'm going to be in wet conditions, but I'm just wondering how durable they are if I get caught off guard in the rain or something.

Loving the band so far, and in the end a destroyed watch band isn't the end of the world. I just haven't had a leather watch band in a LONG time and am wondering how resilient this particular one is.

Thanks in advance for any anecdotal experience!

I’ve never had any issues with rain or an accidental splash. I’ve never saturated it though.

I'm using this Nomad leather band and it is waterproof. I washed my Ultra & Nomad Active Pro band after every workout.

I have washed my leather Link bands under the faucet with no problem. The leather has been “worked over” to the point it is hardly leather anymore. I would not soak for long periods of time.
