Does anyone have a FineWoven band? Would you recommend it? I'm disappointed that Apple discontinued the leather band and the price seems steep for the FineWoven. Just wanted to get your thoughts.

I have a Mulberry FineWoven Modern Buckle and wore it for a week straight. It did not scuff while worn under normal usage (as in NOT by intentionally damaging it like the viral images/videos of the FineWoven cases) and the band felt soft and comfortable. The leather bands are of higher quality IMO so you might be disappointed if you loved the leather bands.

I have the blue magnetic fine woven band and while it's comfortable, the magnets are very weak.

So weak that it keeps losing my original position and afraid it might just fall off one time...

Going to go back to the velcro sport band which is more secure.

Not worth $100....

If Apple had made the magnets stronger, I would definitely keep mine.

Very comfortable and slim band indeed; but I like the security of the velcro sport band...
