The 15 Best Leather Apple Watch Bands in 2023

Whether you're a new Apple Watch wearer or have worn one for years, it's hard not to miss the classic feel of a leather watch band. They're timeless accessories that work wonders in improving the overall look of any of the best Apple Watch models you can buy.

Thankfully, there is a wide variety of leather Apple Watch bands to choose from. Aside from Apple's offerings, there are many quality third-party options, including luxury investment pieces from brands like Coach, Nomad, and Hermès.

Below are 15 of the best leather Apple Watch bands available. While most of our picks say they're made for specific Apple Watch models, sizing varies and straps can be compatible with various models. Be sure to double-check both the product listing and the size of your watch to ensure a correct fit.

Our top pick for a leather Apple Watch band is Bellroy's for its quality, style, and build. However, your own individual preferences should factor highly into your selection.

For example, if you work outside or plan on wearing your leather watch band every day, it may be worth it to pick a more utilitarian piece like a Bestig band. If style or a luxury brand name is your focus, the Coach, Hermès or Fossil picks are all excellent.

Purchasing a watch band straight from Apple will guarantee that the watch band fits properly and has stellar longevity, but Apple's products can have a higher price tag without necessarily having higher-quality leather than third-party bands.

In the end, you can readily find a durable and worthy leather band for under $30.

Most Apple Watch bands are made for specific models of the Apple Watch due to the difference in screen size between models.

Our list includes options that cater to multiple models, so you can select your Apple Watch size to ensure a perfect fit.
