I'm looking for a knock-off 3rd party apple leather link band (preferably brown or black). I only found one on amazon but there are under 15 ratings so I'm not sure to trust those. And I don't want to get another Leather Loop type band, as I've had 3 of them. Those are good for about 3-6 months and seem to fall apart.

So if anyone has experience with a faux leather link band, I'd appreciate knowing about it.

I have two from Hellary Strap Store and one from Urvoi from aliexpress. Both are very similar, but Urvoi has a better faux leather band pattern and lays a little better on the wrist.

You will have to fiddle with the band a bit to get it to line up right and not get a kink in the band because of how the magnets line up. I do not know if the Apple version has those same kinks. Magnets are strong.
