Best Leather Bands for the Apple Watch in 2022

The best leather band you can buy for the Apple Watch is Grovemade Tan Leather Band. Not only does it look absolutely stunning in its tan leather finish that will develop a darker patina over time, its hardware accents come in black and silver that add a flair of elegance few other watch straps can match.

Nomad's Traditional Strap for the Apple Watch is one of the best leather band you can buy for the popular wearable. First off, its high-quality Horween leather feels amazing and substantial. This particular version also has a Fil Au Chinois beeswax line thread embedded into the design that makes it look even more handsome.

You don't always assume leather can be rugged, but Pad & Quill's Leather Band is exactly that. It's made of full-grain Horween leather, but it's not carefully refined like other straps, which gives it that very distinct rugged and worn look. Plus, you'll get a 25-year warranty, which should solidify how high quality it is.

Apple's first-party bands are quite popular because of their perfect fit and finish and its Leather Loop is no different. Instead of a classic buckle, it loops in, which gives it an unmistakable and unique look with the leather finish. It's available in four colors: Stone, Cape Cod Blue, Sunset, and Cornflower.

The Mkeke Leather Band shines for its affordability. You still get the desired Crazy Horse leather finish strap with a metal buckle that's available in five distinct colors, but you don't have to break the bank. At just $10, you get a nice leather band that's still high quality.

What makes the OUHENG Leather band stand out from the rest is the distinct weathered look. It's a subtle finish that adds a very dynamic look to the band, almost making it look like it's already developed a rich patina finish right out of the box. It's available in five colors, including Retro Brown.

Last but not least is the SWEES Leather Band. It offers all the qualities of a good leather band — strong cowhide leather and a solid buckle — but also comes in a full spectrum of color options. Whether you want a darker, more reserved tone or a lighter, more outgoing tone, SWEES' nine available color options will have the perfect selection for you.
