Fabric straps are comfortable and wick away moisture, but retain moisture and are not very formal. Silicone straps are durable and waterproof, but trap sweat. I have sensitive skin and need to wash the silicone straps and let my wrist breathe from time to time if I don’t want rashes. Leather, on the other hand, is durable. It is comfortable to wear and breathable, and it stretches against your skin. In my opinion, it is also much more elegant and professional than fabric or silicone.
Bluebonnet is a small Texas company that manufactures full calf leather Apple Watch bands. I was very impressed by the thickness of the leather and the build quality of the Apple Watch inserts and the buckle (whether the metal parts are silver or stainless steel varies on the color of the band). Fits my 41mm Series 7 perfectly. But if you have a smaller wrist, you probably need to punch an extra hole or two in the band. Avoid the temptation to use a knife – or get one a leather punch or take it to a shop.
★ Alternative: If you’re a baller, Apple has it own Hermès collaborations which I do not own.

Quince is a direct-to-consumer company that claims to offer luxury essentials at an affordable price. The skin on his Apple Watch Band ($30) it’s stiffer and thinner, the color isn’t as vibrant, and the hardware is weird – not sure why the buckle has an extra loop at the top. However, it comes in two different sizes, and the small size fits my Watch SE just fine. If you want a cheaper option, this will work for you.
