Update (10/15 9:00am): The Anker Leather Apple Watch band is currently out of stock, head below for more deals on other options.
Ever since Apple Watch was released last Spring, one of the more interesting storylines has been the third-party band market. While Apple has launched a new MFi certification program for Watch Bands, there are already a number of unofficial options available on the market at this time.
Aukey via Amazon offers its 42mm Leather Band with stainless steel clasp for Apple Watch for $19.99. Applying coupon code 7XUB9F9U drops the final price to $9.99 with free shipping for Prime Members (free trial) or on orders of $35+. That’s good for 50% off the regular price and the lowest offering we can find. Features include “premium leather and stainless steel construction”, “precision laser cut holes” and a 18-month warranty from Aukey. Early reviews have been positive.

Third-party manufacturers are able to utilize a variety of materials to create a unique look for your device.
