Anyone know where I might be able to get a nice leather brown band for a space black Apple Watch, the apple one won't work nice the adapter is stainless steel and wont match the watch.

Thanks in advance.

Try etsy. I bought an adapter and scuffed it with steel wool to give it a pseudo matte finish and have been looking locally for a band - I have seen some nice ones on etsy but I kind of want to see it in person before buying. Good luck.

I also have the stainless black watch and I bought the Pad and Quill leather band and I am very happy with it. It has a black buckle and black adapters, and the leather is very high quality.

Only way to get exactly what you want is to make your own:). I went through 3 different bands and 4 different adapters until I got exactly what I was looking for. Even found a deployant clasp I liked!

Where did you get that adapt or from? Did it specify a band width? I have the same hirsch strap but need a nice adaptor to go with it! Thanks

Got the adapter quite awhile ago, some random seller on ebay. It's the kind that takes a normal watch pin. I preferred the look to the rounded steel bar style, didn't look right with the band. The band was a tight fit, but it fit just snug enough.

I really like the Hirsch-Buffalo-Artisan-Watch-Band very nice, that is what I have been looking for.

It that band the Hirsch Liberty? If so how do you like it? It says it is 4mm wide. Is it really thick? I just ordered the same band in the Gold-Brown color.

Received my Hirsch Liberty Gold-Brown today, along with my adapters. I love it. Completely new look for the watch.
