FAQ
Does this strap require a break-in period?
Yes, like all genuine leather products, it will feel slightly stiff at first. Wear it for 2 to 3 days to allow the leather to soften and mold to the specific contours of your wrist. The material becomes more comfortable and develops a unique character over time.
Can I use this with a smart watch?
This specific model is designed for watches with an 8mm lug width. If your smartwatch uses standard 8mm spring bars, it will work. However, the leather cuff will block heart rate sensors and charging ports located on the back of the watch case.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt or sweat. Avoid soaking the strap in water or wearing it in the shower. For long-term care, apply a small amount of leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out.
Is the cuff removable?
The Thin Leather Cuff Bund Strap is designed as a single unit to provide the classic cuff aesthetic. While the thin band slides through the cuff slots, it is intended to be worn together to ensure the watch head remains centered and secure on your wrist.
