I've had this Apple Watch strap for some time and have been meaning to leave a review here. The watch strap is from FinWatchStraps, which are handmade in Finland. Prior to the Apple Watch, I was a Moto 360 user. While I didn't love the watch itself, it came with a Horween leather strap which was the most comfortable watchband I have ever worn. I dearly missed it and for a time thought about buying a used Moto 360 on eBay and trying to have the band converted to fit my watch. That lead me to search the Internet looking for a similar one specifically for Apple Watch and I came across FinWatchStraps.
They offer a variety of types of leather, but I can only speak to the Horween one. It is every bit as soft and comfortable as my old Moto 360 strap. I've had it for over a year now and it has held up really well. I love the way it has worn in. One of the nice things was that I was able to custom select things like the stitching and clasps when I ordered. They also offer a variety of leather colors. My impression is that the pricing is pretty fair: about $70 for a handmade leather strap. Mine originally came with a faulty adapter, but they sent out a replacement quickly.
The only negative is that the watch sizing described on the site was a bit off -- at least for me. The band I received is a tad too big, so I had to punch another hole in the leather. Even then, I'd prefer a tighter fit. Just a heads-up if you decide to order one.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
