Native Union (RE) Classic Strap for Apple Watch

Native Union is one of those Apple accessory brands that somehow both flies under the radar and manages to easily stand out in the pack. I came away notably impressed with its latest (RE) Classic 3.0 iPhone 16 case after going hands-on with it and its special brand of eco leather last fall, and now we are tracking a sizable 50% price drop on the matching Apple Watch band. The brand’s official Amazon storefront is now offering its (RE) Classic Strap for Apple Watch down at $29.99 in three different colors. Shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $35. This model is compatible with all 44mm/45mm/46mm/49mm models, according to the listing.
