the strap on my iWatch 8 snapped.

 

What I would prefer is a leather strap, Apple does not supply this anymore 🤬

 

So, looked up "leather watch straps nz" and up popped a whole pile of overseas stores with an NZ domain name with their stuff hosted on shopify.

 

So anyone know a genuine NZ company that does leather straps ?

 

 

 

TIA

I've used Equipo a couple of times (for Garmin straps).

 

Fast, efficient service.

I don't know of any NZ-based stores that sell good leather Apple Watch straps, but I have had some really good ones over the years from Clockwork Synergy

 

High quality and the prices are pretty good.

At the very least the retailer or Apple owe you another watch strap.
