Here’s a polished version of your review:
I’ve had my band for a couple of years and recently needed it resized, which FFF handled effortlessly. The quality is excellent, and it makes typing so much easier since I don’t have hardware scratching my keyboard or putting pressure on my wrist. I also get plenty of compliments on it—definitely a great product!
I really love the look and the feel of this watch back, but I forgot that as leather wears in, it stretches a little. After about a week of wear, the leather is softer and more supple, but it's also about a "half size" looser. I wish I had remembered that and order one that is one notch hole smaller. It would have been tighter to begin with (maybe even annoying so), but I think that in the long run, once it wears it, it would be a better fit.
to anyone reading this: please DO NOT order a smaller size. follow the sizing instructions i've written up. I've already accounted for stretch, and if you go ordering smaller you'll end up getting a band that doesnt' fit. you just need a half size smaller amigo. if the band fits perfectly right when you get it (which i'm betting yours did) then you need a band that's a half size smaller. I'll get a half size smaller into the system and get it sent out to you.
we cover sizing issues like this via the guaranteed fit....the issue is that three people can wear the same size in the apple sport band but need three different leather bands, because the apple band is both stretchy and 'sticky'....so you can wear it a 'bit too tight' and it'll stretch to fit, and you can wear it 'a bit too loose' and it won't move around on your wrist because of the friction from the rubber-material that the band is made out of. leather has to be right on....which is why we say 'order the size that fits you, and then let us know if it's a little too loose or too tight and we will adjust your sizing'.
we have all of this information in the follow-up email that goes out after the order....maybe it just fell into spam.
I’ve been buying these bands for years, almost as long as I’ve gotten apple’s watches. Quality is unfaltering. You get exactly what you pay for. The product is perfect. And the customer service is proactive and really nice.
absolutely great owner! please read!
I honestly didn’t expect to meet such a generous person. i’m gonna try & keep this short, i pretty much ordered the wrong size twice! one was too tight and one was too loose! i regrettably used my nike apple watch band to size them because i threw away my original sport apple band. i thought to myself the nike watch band is a close enough size guide. well it wasn’t and thankfully after sending emails back & fourth. The owner of form function form decided to send me the 3 other sizes without having me pay anything or doing an exchange! 😳 after reading other people’s reviews of how the size feels too tight i am relieved i went to form function form and dealt with a awesome person who cared about my genuine experience with how the watch band feels on my wrist. i am very sorry for making it a hard time to email you constantly 😅. The 2nd fit was the better choice all along haha. here are 2 photos of the what the leather russet looks like, oh and i forgot to mention. the laser odor that arrives with the band goes away. it’s pretty strong at first but it goes away and honestly the laser smell definitely makes the leather feel more authentic as well! (edit: sorry for keeping this long haha)
I ordered the black leather Apple Watch band and unfortunately the size was too small. For some reason my size was a bit off from the standard, but Shawn was incredible and sent me three other bands to make sure I had the right FFFit. He explicitly said that he would rather have me (and any customer) enjoy the band than have it sit in my drawer. And I have! I live in Orlando and love to support a local business that makes great products with excellent customer service. Highly recommended and this is one of the most stylish and unique bands in my collection!
