I purchased the slim watch band in oat, and it has a very classy, timeless feel to it. Initially, there was a small bit of irritation on my wrist, I think from one of the stitches; but, that irritation lasted less than a day, and since then it has been very comfortable. I like the slimmer profile and feel it is a dressier option. It doesn’t fit as well as my original silicone apple band, but i think that might have more to do with the material (leather vs silicone), and it’s not a dealbreaker for me. I did get some water on it once when washing my hands, and it left a few small spots that I worried would be permanent. The spots dried and disappeared, thankfully!
