Galaxy Watch 42mm Band, Gear S2 Classic Bands, Gear Sport Band, Maxjoy 20mm Leather Replacement Strap for Samsung Galaxy Watch 42mm/Gear S2 Classic SM-R732 SM-R735/Gear Sport SM-R600 Smartwatch, Black

I love this band! I love the stitching, the buckle style clasp and the smell of the leather!

I feel that this is overall a great watch band, which has gotten better with time over the first couple of weeks of using it.My initial reaction upon receiving and opening the package is that the watch band looks and feels like it's high quality. The stitching adds a unique touch and is done well (consistent, hasn't broken or frayed). The black color is dark throughout, and it hasn't rubbed off at all on my fingers or wrists.Installation was incredibly simple. This band features quick-release pins just like the original one, so there are no tools needed to swap out the watch band and start wearing this one. It took about 1 minute to get it set up and on my wrist.The clasp is large and feels like solid metal. It sticks out from the band a bit, but I think it looks nice. The clasp is a definite plus.The band size is slightly shorter than the stock watch band on the S2 Classic, and the other 3rd-party watch band I've tried. It still fits my wrist fine, however.The only issue I found with this watch band is that the leather is initially quite stiff. It takes some force to bend it with your fingers, so you can imagine that it feels a little bit awkward on the wrist at first. It initially was leaving gaps of air between my wrist and the watch band in certain spots while feeling tight in others. The first night, my wrist got a bit sore, so I ended up taking my watch off.I decided to work the leather with my hands a bit while watching some TV. I gently flexed the leather back and forth all over on both sides of the band for a little while each night, which helped to break in the leather more quickly than merely wearing it. I'd highly recommend doing this, but don't bend it too sharply or you could leave marks in the leather. Each time I did this, it got a little bit more comfortable for me. After doing that for a few days, and wearing the band for about a week overall, it became much more comfortable.My other watch band has slightly softer leather than the original S2 Classic watch-band. By comparison, this feels like marginally stiffer leather than the original watch-band. This could be a plus or minus depending on your preference, but I think this band will probably take more of a beating, and potentially last longer. Additionally, the clasp seems like it will hold up better over time.After breaking in the leather a bit, this is a watch band I would recommend to anyone looking for one with a beautiful appearance, solid construction, and excellent durability. It pairs great with a Samsung Gear S2 Classic, and likely any other 20mm watch.I would give it 4 1/2 stars if the rating system would allow me. I think if the leather were just slightly softer, it'd be a full 5 for me.

I like how the band looks. I would have gave it five stars, except band is too short.. The band is too tight if I want to put both leather pieces over the end of band. The band needs to be at least 3/8 inch longer. If one has small wrists the band would be great. I have avg to large wrist.

It installed flawlessly seems to be well made and sturdy stitching on it's very nice looks way better than the original band that came with the gear S2 classic a lot more comfortable against my skin also I think this is a band I'll definitely be able to wear all day long comfortably also comes in a nice box might get another and give it for a Christmas gift five stars. Will update if anything goes wrong or it falls apart

So far so good.

I love this watch band. WAY better than the Samsung one.

Love the color and it is REAL Leather. The white stitch adds a little flair. Love it!!
