For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Southern Straps to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win a Brown Leather Strap that's designed to work with the Apple Watch.
Priced at $90, the Brown Leather Strap is constructed from a full grain Horween leather and hand sewn in San Francisco. Each band is vegetable dyed for a rich, brown color, which will develop a unique patina over time.
Southern Straps uses strengthened waxed cord for stitching the Apple Watch band, which ensures its durability over time. Each band also comes with a two year warranty.
The Brown Leather Straps are available in two sizes to fit both 44/42mm Apple Watch models and 40/38mm Apple Watch models, and they are compatible with all of the Apple Watches that Apple has released to date.
Southern Straps says that the bands fit wrists sized 14 to 25cm. The bands can be ordered with black, silver, or gold hardware to match the finish of the Apple Watch.
Southern Straps also has a whole range of other Apple Watch bands for those interested, including leather bands in black and high-quality nylon Apple Watch bands in several attractive striped shades.
We have five Brown Leather Straps from Southern Straps to give away to MacRumors readers, and each winner will be able to pick hardware in the finish of their choice.

It's a pricey gadget that you can live without for sure. I buy them second hand and last generation, went from a series 1 to a series 5, the main differences are bigger display, double the battery life (turns out I don't like the always-on thing at all) and that I can read it in bright sunlight.
I put mine on my other wrist and put on a nice looking watch (for 1/10 of the price) when I wanna look classy. Only the "real" watch peeks out of the shirt sleeve because it's worn more loosely. My $60 Timex and $40 Starking get all the compliments, nobody cares about the Apple Watch. :)
