Apple introduced a new band style with the Apple Watch Series 6, the new Leather Link band. It uses magnets and a two-part design for a new take on the classic leather strap. I check it out, compare colors, fit, compare it to the Leather Loop, and more in this video.

Are any of you going to pick this up?
Just got the black one for my graphite series7. Better looking and more comfortable than my sportband. My new go-to.
How’s it holding up 2 years later?
Magnets? Deal-breaker, as they're not good for the body.
Grabbed one today but thinking of returning. I noticed it loosens up quickly. Not working out with it or anything, just causal wear. Anyone else run into this problem?
Always go for M/L as it’s a whole lot more secure due to more magnets interlocking
Okay, respect goes to you for being the only YouTuber who actually knows how to take a strap out of the box properly by folding the tabs down. Everyone else tears it vertically, damaging the edges of their strap. 🙂
Small would not be as secure on you, more magnets connected the better.
Hi question. Does 44mm strap would fit the series 7 (45mm) thanks
Call me boring but I love the black version best. I picked that one up.
Bull shit review not a shot in which camera is focusing on a band.
Love mine!
I bought the Apple leather band with my Series 7. Is the band durable enough to run/hike with it? I’m guessing it isn’t made to swim in. What are your thoughts?
your chanel name is clickbate. I heard zero insider information I can use for trading.
Can you put it on in less than 5 seconds? No, huh?
Are there any health issues long term of wearing a strong magnet 🧲 so close to one of your major blood 🩸 veins?
maybe a long term review?
I’d love to get my hands on a 44mm saddle brown leather link band m/l for my 45mm series 7.
can this be used with apple watch series 4
I really do t like the look of these, I’ve also seen how easily someone could snatch your watch off your wrist with this design. A guy showed his 5 year old taking it off his wrist with one hand. The leather loop looks much better in my opinion. It’s too bad Apple stopped making them. Thankfully I found one at Best Buy to go with my new Series 7😀
One heart ❤️ to subs u
Just got the green version and I absolutely love it.
It feels so comfortable and the colour is stunning
I really want one of these bands but I wonder how much easier these are for pick pockets to take off of someone. I’m working towards moving back to a big city and I’d hate for someone to swipe my watch.
my apple link strap is going rough on inside after only 8 months after speaking to apple they don't feel they should replace the £99 pound item saying its cosmetic a fault is a fault apple you suck
I wonder how this band is holding up after few months of usage?
I think you think you're making more noise than you really are? Also some people like the unboxing noises lol
yeah thats how my AW SE44 fell off my wrist and turned into pieces
I've found that the California Poppy does not stay clean. It easily begins to blacken and there is no good way to clean it.
Bought the saddle brown for my 3. I'm loving the look and feel
will the magnet come off easily if the band snags on something?
Thank you for your sweet mistake. Based on your vid, I chose M/L for more secure link. 👍
How secure is it on your wrist? Could someone possibly grabs and steals it?
Maybe do a comparison with <10$ aliexpress doppelgangers?
Hi , how is the leather band now? And do you recommended it for daily use?
I’m getting my black leather band for my cousin’s wedding next wendsday!
Great review. Thanks man.
I bought the titanium 44mm series 6 and I had it packaged with the blue leather band and after trying a sport band and a sport loop they are nowhere close to as premium as the leather band, I love the blue, but I had already ordered the poppy one, before I saw your vid, but your vid got me more excited for it. nice vid.
Hello.
Where can I find this belt so I can buy it.
The leather one is yellow.
Thanks !
I love the Magnet 🧲 Band is sooo nice I got blue and now I’m waiting for brown leather
I have a question. My wrist size is 19cm But the leather link (Small) is sized up to 18cm. People always talk about, they want the band smaller. Should i get the small size ? Are the magnets still strong enough if the band is smaller ? I would be happy about every answer.
I did pick up the Poppy and it has become by favorite band. I also considered the blue, but the Poppy really pops.
Great video 😉 40 or 44 watch?
Great review. Thanks!
There’s the problem. If you move your hand back and forth or tighten your arm, the arm becomes a little thicker and thus exerts pressure from the inside, which causes the magnets of the two bands that attach to each other to slip minimally. This happens quickly several times within a short period of time. As a result, the band expands somewhat and is no longer firmly, but only loosely, which means that the band can be used several times a day
