Priced at $129, Southern Straps' Leather Bands are made from full grain Horween leather and hand sewn in California. Each band is vegetable dyed for rich color that will develop a unique patina with use over time.

Each Apple Watch band is stitched with a durable waxed cord material that ensures the band will hold up to daily use for years to come. Southern Straps Leather Bands come with a two-year warranty.

Anyone able to identify the watch face with what looks like the earth? It's not the regular astronomy one, as it's analog.

Looks more rustic than elegant to me. Super nice if rustic is a plus for you. Not so much if you’re looking for an
”Apple’s Classic leather buckle band“ replacement. Not saying one look is better than another, they are just different looks.
