I do need to do some hunting at TJ maxx, Ross, etc. Current links are Dark Cherry, Umber, Midnight.

While I like the leather links, I don’t love wearing them on a day to day basis.
Daily wear goes to BSL, Alpine, sport band, sport loops.

I’ve contemplated getting one of these, but I’ve heard how they can easily get caught and come undone.

They look nice, though.

I like the white one.

They can get caught and loosened but Ive yet to have it undone accidentally. The magnets are very strong, and when the band slips they link up again quickly.

My leather link set is now complete.

Midnight, Ink and Umber!

Midnight is well worn, thinking if I should get a new one. Decisions decisions.
 
Anyone had any issues with their Leather Link being really tight around the connector? On the "short" side of the strap in particular, it looks like this after a couple of weeks. The leather fraying like that can't be good and I'm worried that it will just get worse and worse.View attachment 2091199

I’m getting this in two of my bands (older Midnight and newer Ink). The titanium slots on the Ultra 2 are literally cutting in to the leather.

Complaint with lots of images to Apple UK made them send replacements as a gesture of goodwill for both bands but I think it’s the watch at fault with its tight tolerances.

This was quite a while ago, but I just got Apple to refund the whole thing and I bought a new one with a braided solo loop. Which funnily enough is now stretched and probably needs replaced!

Same here but I got mines $12 Ross for an ink one. Looks great on gold stainless steel. IMG_4806.jpeg
Also a great place to grab Apple genuine bands that are discontinued and still yet popular. Log ‘em in bandbreite the Apple Watch band encyclopedia on your iPhone via the app, once you get them! Put the ones in your wishlist and go to these stores around the world and in other towns!

Did you find this recently? What size was it?

Anyone purchase a leather link from Ebay that claims to be "genuine official" and "new"?
 
Sure, several. They have all been genuine. Just make sure the listing has photos of what you are actually buying, not just the stock render image of the band.
I asked for images to confirm claims in their post (e.g. sealed, color and size). They sent me two images by email so I bought that ban that should show up next week.
