While you can still score the sweet official Apple Watch Leather Link in the smaller 41mm size at Woot for $24.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise), a rare offer on the 45mm model is now live on Amazon via the well-rated Sixth Avenue storefront at $49.95 shipped. The larger 45mm size is rarely offered for less and tends to sell out very quickly when it lands on Woot for under $50. While now discontinued at Apple in favor of the less-then-stellar (hated-by-most) FineWoven, this band sold for $99 and is now at least 50% off.
One of my personal favorite accessories Apple ever released for its intelligent wearables, the Leather Link features a Venezia leather treatment handcrafted in Arzignano, Italy. The tannery, which has an “artisan heritage spanning five generations,” uses a “delicate milling and tumbling process” to develop that pebbled texture while concealed magnets throughout the length of the band delivers an elegant fit (this model is the medium/large band fits 165 to 205mm wrists).
If you’re not impressed with Apple’s Leather Link, be sure to check out the exclusive 30% discount we secured for 9to5 readers on the gorgeous Burton Goods Leather Apple Watch bands – they are now at the lowest price of the year.
But if you’re after a new Apple Watch Series 9, and don’t plan on upgrading to Series 10 later this year, several styles and sizes are still sitting at $100 off.
Apple Watch Leather Link band features:
- The Venezia leather for this band is handcrafted in Arzignano, Italy. With an artisan heritage spanning five generations, the tannery has a history of partnership with some of the most prestigious names in fashion.
- A delicate milling and tumbling process enhances the beautiful pebbled texture.
- And magnets concealed within the soft, quilted leather allow you to simply wrap it around your wrist for a precise fit and a trim look.
- Medium/Large band fits 165–205mm wrists and are compatible with 42mm, 44mm and 45mm Apple Watch Models
