I have sensitive skin and I need to wash the silicone straps and let my hand rest every now and then if I don’t want to break out. But leather is tough.

Bluebonnet is a small Texas company that makes Apple Watch straps from premium cowhide leather. I was very impressed with the thickness of the leather and the appearance of the Apple Watch and the fasteners (if the metal is silver or stainless steel varies the color of the band).

Resist the temptation to use a knife, at least avoid it leather hole punch or take it to the store.

However, it comes in two different sizes, and the smaller size fits my Watch SE perfectly. If you want a cheaper option, this one will work for you.
