Monowear Watch Strap

3 Fancy an Apple Watch band made of genuine leather that doesn’t cost £129? Monowear’s £51 leather strap is beautifully made, comfortable, and its metal adaptors come in three finishes to match your Watch.

It looks, feels and smells good, but doesn’t look quite like it does on the website: what looks like dark brown suede in the photos is actually a shiny tan colour in real life. Leather does darken with age and use, but even after several weeks of constant wear the brown option is still much lighter than we’d like. Gary Marshall

Monowear’s strap is beautifully made, but the brown option is a little lighter than you might expect.
