6 Best Leather Bands for the Fitbit Versa 2
The new Fitbit Versa 2 makes it a convincing smart watch because it is quite elegant, thanks to its flat square dial. It was the square dial with tapered edges that attracted me when I got my hands on it. But, the default band or bracelet doesn’t do this smart watch justice, especially when it comes to everyday wear. It is rigid and can be quite uncomfortable to wear for longer periods of time. Fortunately, like most Versa smartwatches, you can exchange it for an elegant and comfortable leather strap.
Leather straps add class and elegance to any watch, be it the good old analog watch or new age smartwatches, and the Fitbit Versa 2 is no exception. These bands help move from a casual to a formal setting in an instant.
So if you are looking for the leather bands for your new Fitbit Versa 2, we have a collection of the best replacement straps available.
Without further ado, let’s go, okay?
1. Bayite bands
The Bayite leather bracelet is for you if you like thinner and thinner bands. In addition to giving a feminine look, the thin strips are also very comfortable to wear. However, these straps are suitable for people whose wrists have a circumference between 5.3 and 7.8 inches. It comes with a standard stainless steel watch buckle and similar to most premium leather straps, you will find double stitching around the edges, which adds to the appearance of the watch.
The thin strip means less space for perspiration and water to trap, which ultimately leads to more comfort. And if you wear your watch every minute like me, you should know that this is an important factor.
Apart from that, there are many impressions to choose from. You can either opt for the standard dark colors or opt for a more vivid floral print.
Bayite leather straps cost less than $ 10 and have amassed lots of reviews due to comfort and durability. “I love the thinness of my new band, it is very comfortable and very pretty and was easy to install,” wrote one user.
2. Ezco leather bands
Ezco opts for a classic look with its leather bands for the Versa 2. Apart from a thin ribbon at the edges, there is no special ornamentation, which makes it perfect for formal meetings or clothing Office. The leather is slightly textured, and the play of dark and light gives it an aged appearance. Some might even call it a vintage look.
For a strap that costs only $ 11, the details are pretty much perfect. All perforations are evenly spaced and the black loop reinforces the overall appearance. It is suitable for people whose wrists are between 5.5 and 7.8 inches wide.
It is quite popular on Amazon and has an overall rating of 4.3 stars out of 5, and Fakespot estimates that around 69% of them are reliable.

Stay fit and stylish
While leather straps help to accentuate the appearance of a multi-ply watch, it should be noted that they are not one of the most comfortable straps to wear when you sweat in the gym or when you run on the track. In such cases, it is better to invest in a nylon strap or a sports strap. They may not be the most beautiful of the herd, but they are comfortable to wear and, at the same time, prevent rashes and irritations.
If you are looking for a durable silicone bracelet, try those from XIMU. They have enough perforations to let perspiration escape, and the silicone of the band is breathable and waterproof. Or, you can check out Welltin’s nylon bands. They are available in a wide range of colors and are comfortable to wear.
