While the Fullmosa Compatible Apple Watch Band isn't an exact match to Hermés, it is a tiny fraction of the price. It's leather like the Hermés band, and the Brown option has silver hardware and white stitching. The tail of the band is similarly pointed. Fullmosa offers a large selection of colors and sizes to fit every Apple Watch. In fact, if you crave the two-tone look, you could even buy two different color bands to mix and match at this price point.
These genuine leather bands come in a variety of color options.
Best alternative: Clockwork Synergy Dapper Watch Band
When people ask me what third-party Apple Watch bands they should consider, I always mention Clockwork Synergy Apple Watch bands. Every band Clockwork Synergy makes is of great quality at a great price. The Dapper Watch Band is one of their pricier options, but it's still a fraction of the price of an Hermés band. The band is crafted from genuine leather and is available in lots of color and texture options. You can even choose your hardware colors to complement your Apple Watch. Both Apple Watch sizes are covered. Clockwork Synergy's adapters are always top-notch; they slide on and off like butter and remain locked in place when attached.
While it may not look exactly like Hermés, this is an excellent quality band for far less.
