When I first got my Apple Watch about a year ago, I was ecstatic.  Finally I would be able to count my steps, measure my heart rate while working out, and get ALL THE NOTIFICATIONS on my watch.  I was on maternity leave at the time and wasn’t dressing up too often, so the band that came with it didn’t bother me. Then, as I returned to work and started sharing my #workwear outfits on @toasttopostblog, I just couldn’t help but notice how off one thing in all of my pictures looked.  And guess what that was? My watch band.  Here I was sharing my daily #workwear posts, usually dressed in a nice dress, pumps, hair and make up, with this sporty looking watch band.  It just drove me absolutely nuts.

I spent the next few months researching all over for watch bands that were affordable, classic, and professional.  Oh, and durable, because you know, the whole twin mom thing. At this point, I realized that your watch band was just as important as the other accessories you wear and is just as much an opportunity to show your unique individuality.

This Jord Apple watch band has been my absolute new favorite.  I wear it to work and feel so professional while sitting in meetings, but also wear it on Target runs with my toddlers, as well as out to brunch with the girls.  It is professional, chic, and laid back all at the same time. It is 100% genuine vegetable tanned leather in spackled rose. The lug end adaptors and clasp are stainless steel and it is compatible with all Apple watches.  The leather watch bands come in a variety of colors, such as shuttle grey, double black, dark walnut, winter blue, mocha suede, deep navy, and so many more.  I’m thinking about how beautiful the mocha suede will be this winter 😊 Because their specialty is using wood in their products, they also have many wooden band options – including bands made from shedua, tigerwood, ebony, and American walnut.

Jord, pronounced YODE, is a family run business based out of St. Louis, MO.  Besides the Apple watch bands, they specialize in creating classic and modern designs for wood watches. The minimalist styles are designed to complement and enhance anyone’s style. As well as the Apple bands, their watches make great gifts because JORD offers watch engravings and box engravings!
