After having previously reviewed the Morningsun XG Milanese Loop Magnetic Wrist Band<\/a> and Chetoo Ceramic Apple Watch Band with Butterfly Buckle<\/a>, I was excited to try Morningsun XG’s black leather loop<\/a> model. Unlike the bracelet and link style of many other third party bands, this band uses a strong magnetic lock for easy, perfect sizing, similar to the popular milanese loop watch bands. However, unlike the milanese loop watch bands, this is made from soft leather, making it more comfortable to wear.<\/p>\n

As you can see from the photos, it looks fantastic. Real world fit and finish are also excellent. And unlike Apple’s own watch bands, Morningsun XG’s band is incredibly inexpensive. While I’m reviewing the 42mm band with my Apple Watch Sport<\/a>, it’s also available in a 38mm size<\/a> and other colors. This is definitely a quality product and well worth the asking price.<\/p>\n
