I love these Apple watch bands. This is my second from La Matera, and I was initially reluctant to order one because these are marketed toward men. As a few others have noted about the other colors/designs, however, there’s a universal sophistication and look to these bands. I don’t feel that they’re particularly gendered, and I’m thrilled with the way they look and hold up. I wanted high quality leather and the colorful woven design is beautifully complementary and doesn’t disappoint at all. They’re not inexpensive bands, but I’m a big believer in that you get what you pay for, and these products live up to that.

As a point of constructive feedback (sorry, I’m a teacher, occupational hazard) - I do wish that there was one more hole on the wrist strap for a more snug fit, but I understand that a product generally made for men accounts for larger wrists! I made do and have no serious complaints.
