I put mine on today as well, very tight leather. Will take a couple weeks to break in and soften.

Nope, not at all. For the next two days, BEFORE you put it on your wrist, roll both sides of the strap (roll it inward, as if conforming to your wrist). It will be fine by day three.

Worked for me. Merely a quicker way to break them in

Navy blue silicone band and the Nylon black band. Both feel nice.

What bands do you guys suggest for a female that wants a classy leather band for work? I wear a 38mm sport currently.

I don't think you could go wrong with the Classic Buckle for the price. Some good colour options too. Modern Buckle, maybe, but more expensive and with limited colours.

Amazon might be a great place to start. ClockChoice, Fullmosa and Moko are some brands that I frequent for my mother, and not just necessarily for a leather band either.

Yeah. Been scrolling through Amazon. I see some nice ones but most of them have mixed reviews.

Thanks guys!! Found this on Amazon for a steal..

Can't believe Best Buy has it on sale for $48.

Update.. the band arrive and the quality is very nice. However it says it's supposed to fit 115-145mm wrists, but the last hole doesn't fit me comfortably, guess I will have to get one or two more holes poked. The sport bands fit me perfectly so that's why it's interesting this one fell a little short. Will update once I get the extra holes poked and can wear it.

Another happy customer from Moko. I love the sport bands for everyday as I'm a courier and do quite a bit of moving around. And an inexpensive sport band is the bomb! Still on the hunt for a small enough leather band for non-work hours.

Just a heads up.
This morning I Scured my ceramic that had a 3rd party Nike band to my wrist.. It felt awkward but it seem to have latched. As I was heading out the door the watch fell off my wrist. Upon a close inspection the inner part the the pin locks into cracked.

That's no good! Watch ok?

Did you buy it on Amazon? Which seller was it?

Anyone find a black leather band with gold adapters and/or buckle? Looking for one for my gold Sport, 42mm. I just got this one from Benuo (let me know if you want pictures) and very pleased with it so far, but a gold buckle/adapter to match the watch would be perfect.

Also, if anyone finds 3rd party sport bands with a gold fastener!

This link is for monowear bands, I've heard the gold colored adapters match pretty well with the gold aluminum watches. There are a range of colors, including black. Hope this helps!!

Wow, those bands are beautiful. A little pricey for what I'm going for but I just may have to get one.
Thank you! Will post pics if I do. Do you have one of their bands?
