Hi, I'm Nadine from Kulta Mac and welcome back to another unboxing video
0:10
Today I'm going to be unboxing the Strapa Crocodilus Apple Watch Band. Don't worry
0:14
no crocodiles were harmed in the making of this band. And I'm super excited to open this one up
0:20
First thing I notice is the packaging. It's really nice. It matches the price and luxury
0:25
of the band itself, which I really appreciate. So the packaging looks like this. It comes in
0:29
this plastic bag and it has this, the case, and then a little paper. I'm going to just take that
0:37
out. So the paper just has this, thank you and enjoy. And then it has like some tips for getting
0:44
started and how to take care of the band, which I think is super helpful. And I love Strapa's motto
0:52
Their motto is very clear. They're dedicated to making watch bands that are rugged, simple
0:58
durable, and timeless. So I'm really excited to see if this band fits all four of those things
1:03
So let's get right into it. My first thoughts from looking at this band is that it feels really
1:08
padded. And I've never really felt that before with some of our other leather watch bands. So
1:15
I really like that. And this crocodile pattern, it's embossed into the leather, which I also
1:22
really like. So this band is made from Italian calfskin leather. And the back, it is lined with
1:29
a smooth leather backing with a careful stitching pattern and linen thread. So it's put together very
1:36
well. And so you're really paying for really great quality and a really durable band. And this band
1:42
it's a little stiff to begin with, but it's very sturdy and it'll kind of mold to your wrist after
1:48
a while, which I think is one of the great things about leather watch bands because they really
1:54
kind of just, as time goes, they really start to fit to your wrist and feel really good, which I
2:00
really like. Okay, so let's see how this does with putting it on the Apple Watch. So one really unique
2:06
thing about the Strapa watch bands, which I really like, is that they're buckles and adapters. You can
2:12
choose between a polished version or a matte version. And so the Crocodilus, this one came with
2:17
the matte buckle and adapter. And I really like that. I think it really complements the band
2:24
and it makes this embossed pattern stand out more. And I like having that option. So they have the
2:30
option because the matte one is made for the aluminum watches. And then there's a polished
2:38
version, which is made more for the stainless steel watches. All right, so it's pretty clear to
2:42
see that Strapa is all about their artisan design and craftsmanship. Their attention to detail really
2:47
speaks for itself. You can find this Apple Watch band at our watch store for $119. And you can find
2:55
a lot of other Strapa products there too. We have different colors and embossments like honey apple
3:01
coffee, and amber. My personal favorite is the amber, especially since fall is coming up. It's
3:06
going to look super nice on trend for the fall time. But I really love this Crocodilus pattern
3:12
as well. Unfortunately, this one only comes in black. So this black one is perfect for any special
3:17
occasion. But I would prefer one of the warmer toned ones for an everyday look. Feel free to let
3:23
us know in the comments which colors and embossments you like best from Strapa. Thank you
