For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Southern Straps to give MacRumors readers a chance to win one of the company's black leather Apple Watch bands.

Southern Straps offers a range of high-quality leather and colored nylon Apple Watch bands on its website. The black leather band is crafted from a single piece of supple, full grain Italian leather, which the company says has not been sanded, buffed, or snuffed, leaving it with an attractive, unblemished finish.

To ensure a deep, long lasting black, the strap has been dyed with vegetable dye and it features hand stitching with waxed cord. All of Southern Straps' leather bands feature a two-year warranty against manufacturing damage.

The black leather band fits all Apple Watch models, including the new Apple Watch Series 4 models. Southern Straps offers its leather bands with lugs to match all Apple Watch finishes, including black, silver, and gold.

Apparently the sizing is equal to the XL sport bands of Apple's. That (used to be, at least) is hard to find it seems.

Now if Apple would just make the RED in XL band size...
 
looks really cheap....does it last over 2 weeks?
I didn’t notice till you mentioned it. The leather looks wrinkly in the second photo from the top. Surprised to see that on a new band.
[doublepost=1539269651][/doublepost]I was referring to Press Your Luck in the late 80s. Haven’t watched GSN ever, but it’s nice to know they rereleased it again. Loved it as a kid.

The remake had some fun points. Like dumping grass on you when the animated whammy mowed over your bank.
