Just wanted to shout out my favourite place to get leather goods! Handmade in Nelson, BC with a lifetime guarantee. I have purchased from them several times and have never been disappointed. Their quality is fantastic, would highly recommend!

I've gotten stuff from Popov and it's great.

I've got a couple of belts, a journal cover and some watch straps. My only complaint is that the watch straps use crappy metal hardware that only lasts a couple of years before it starts to corrode from my battery acid sweat. I've asked a couple of times for a stainless steel hardware option, but no dice. The flip side is that customer service is fantastic.

Hopefully they’ll make some changes down the road! I don’t have a smart watch, but I could see that being an issue for sure.

Which journal cover did you go with? I’ve been mulling over getting one, but not sure which one.

The metal band on my grandfather's old watch bit the dust and I put a Popov band on it. I think it looks great.

I got the A5 cover in English tan. I paired it with an Autmog pen (made in Vancouver)

That’s a cool idea for the watch. Those pens look like they’d be nice to write with! I’ll keep them in mind for down the road.
