Leather Link Questions

[jaybar]

Hi

I purchased my first Apple Leather band to try out. I have questions.

Does the longer part go on the bottom as the picture seems to show?

When it wraps around it is about a half to three quarters of an inch from the top. Is that ok? Should I have gotten the smaller size?

It does not appear to be as tight as a traditional band with a buckle. Is that to be expected?

How does it compare to a leather loop?

Time will tell as to whether i csn wear it without a wrist rash.

Thanks in advance.

You can wear it with the long piece too or bottom. I have it connected at the top, so the end is on the inside of my wrist when worn. I feel there’s less risk of catching it on things. There’s no right or wrong.

It can be right or loose depending on how you pull the straps together but a traditional buckle will always have the potential to be very tight and more secure.

I had three leather loops, hated them, never wore them, sold them. The bit that loops doesn’t look good to my eye and they used to slip and loosen during the day. The leather link (for me) is a far better strap, in looks and fit.

A lot of this is personal preference though of course.

I can’t quite tell in the picture. What does the picture suggest?
