Benefits Of Using Alligator and Crocodile Leather for Apple Watch Bands
With an idea of how craftsmanship of our exotic leather Apple Watch straps with real alligator and crocodile leather, it is now high time we shed some light on the advantages. Here are some of the core benefits one stands to gain when using these premium watch straps for the Apple Watch.
1. Using Apple Watch Bands Made with Alligator and Crocodile Leather gives you a Premium Feel
The Apple Watch is a very premium accessory, but the built-in silicon straps do not make you feel very premium. Similarly, if you head towards the market looking for premium leather straps, you will not get many reasonable options that are made with 100% genuine leather.
So, when you get our Alligator and Crocodile leather straps, you know that they are 100% original and feel much more premium than other options.
2. These Apple Watch Bands Are More Durable Than Silicone Bands
The only good thing about silicon straps that come with the Apple Watch is that they are durable under different conditions. For example, these straps can last a year or two of daily usage.
However, when you invest in our exotic leather straps for your Apple Watch, you get even better durability. These straps are made to last, and they are good for decades if used with care.
3. Alligator and Crocodile Leather Apple Watch Bands Have a Unique Aesthetic
Although the Apple Watch is a premium accessory, these days you find everyone around you wearing one. That makes these very unattractive. However, there is one solution that can make your Apple Watch look more attractive and that is adding a unique aesthetic with luxury watch straps.
Going for our alligator leather Apple Watch band will be your best choice for adding a unique aesthetic to your Apple Watch since these are not very common.
4. Every Piece is Exclusive and Gives You a High-end Appeal
One of the natural properties of this genuine leather from crocodile and alligator skin is that it comes with distinct scaly patterns. These patterns and their texture are not something that can be easily replicated in their original form and that makes every strap exclusive. So, your Apple Watch which was not an exclusive item before will become exclusive to you with the addition of this strap.
5. These Bands Are Comfortable for Everyone Including People with Skin Allergies
One of the most common complaints from people regarding silicon and rubber watch straps is the lack of breathability and issues like allergies on the skin. It is only because those are synthetic materials and not everyone’s skin can resist such materials.
The Jack Lu alligator leather Apple Watch Straps are built differently. These are natural which makes them safe for people with skin conditions.
6. They Stay Breathable on Your Wrist Even During Intense Workout Sessions Due to the Natural Properties of Leather
The natural breathability makes them comfortable even during intense workout sessions. The thing with other watch strap materials is that they keep the sweat under them which causes irritation and itching, especially during workouts. On the other hand, these unique straps offer natural breathability which helps keep your skin fresh and cool for a long.
7. The Exotic Leather Material of These Bands Makes Them Retain Their Investment Value
Another amazing benefit you will get when you invest in these is value retention. Since these straps are made with 100% original materials and they come with the Jack Lu brand name, chances are that their value will appreciate with time as the cost of exotic leather increases.
You only need to use your watch strap carefully and it will leave you with a good investment value even after years.
