Anyone have any experience with the following Leather Watch Bands and can provide their input?

  1. Casetify Genuine Leather Watch Band. - Many years ago I purchased Casetify’s Saffiano leather apple watch band which wasn’t half bad. I still have it to this day but sadly I let it get exposed to water and didn’t take care of it so it’s tearing apart on me after all this time. I like how I can put my initials on the band and I’m hoping the genuine leather, with proper care can be utilized for years. https://www.casetify.com/product/genuine-leather-color-watchband-customization/apple-watch-42/genuine-leather-color-watchband#/16000478
  2. Nomad Leather Watch Band - Probably (?) similar to the above, Nomad has been known for their leather and I’m tempted. I am unsure if I want this one, or the more expensive Horween leather below. https://nomadgoods.com/products/modern-leather-band-brown-black-hardware-44mm . Looking at some reviews in the sub, apparently their leather bands quality is not as good as I had once thought. A bit of mixed reviews, mostly for the worst.
  3. Nomad Horween Leather Watch Band - The most expensive option and the one I’m leaning towards. Apparently they create the color naturally instead of with chemicals and they choose better quality than normal? $20 for an upgrade isn’t a huge deal and I want something nice. https://nomadgoods.com/products/modern-leather-band-rustic-brown-horween-black-hardware-44mm

Note: I don’t know jack sh** about leather. Any advice would be sincerely appreciated.

    Thank you for the recommendation. Why chose the modern over the traditional?

    I see Amazon only has the modern so I’m tempted to at least try it, although I do prefer the traditional look. I can’t really tell the difference between the 2 in regards to quality,
