I have to tighten mine up at least once an hour. I’m going to have to find a new band I like since this isn’t acceptable. My previous leather band was just fine (though I had to destroy it to remove it from old watch when returning it).
@whit3puppy10 ай бұрын
I hate that it slips so easily. It’s unacceptable!! @apple should give us a refund or replace the strap for us. This really sucks for the price point and all. Yeah, I prefer my leather one too. It didn’t have this problem.
@scott76gray10 ай бұрын
I notice that the old leather band is a bit longer with 1 extra magnet link. I'm guessing that made the difference. Or I guess the texture could offer less friction. Kind of pissed my old band became fused to the watch and it was impossible to remove without destroying it. That one was perfectly fine and in black too, which I prefer. Maybe someone is still selling the old leather bands somewhere.
@kathleencass28509 ай бұрын
I am very disappointed about this band that I waited for and was looking forward to. It constantly slips down and gets wider so I have to re-adjust it and sometimes I have to unlock it again. I don't mind the blue color. It's okay but the slipping around and getting larger is a pain. How does it do that?

Are the bumps from the magnets uncomfortable? I love the Milanese loop for style, but my arm hair doesn't. The sport band works, but I've lost a ton of weight so I've exhausted the M/L versions' small setting - there's too much band bunched up underneath. Finally, I loved the solo loop, but mine stretched out over time until it hung like a rapper's Rolex ;)

@cmathews21127 ай бұрын
I love how easy the old leather link band (not what is being reviewed here) is to put on your wrist and adjust, but the “leather” on the leather link SUCKS! It gets nasty black stains that are impossible to remove after just a few months, and my whole band split in half and the magnets fell out in 18 months (I rarely sweat). My guess is Apple changed the material because of complaints, and not some “noble cause” to save the planet. Hopefully they did some durability/stain-resistance testing before choosing this new material.

I have a deal on the old leather link for like $30 but I know after the coating wears offc water will probably stay on the leather. How about these guys? I always go with black because on your wrist is harder to keep it safe unlike leather case.

buddy I am an ape, nothing lasts in my hands. I wore the same leather band for over 2 years before it started to degrade to any level warranting replacement. Those bands were high quality European leather goods. Apple was selling them for dirt cheap compared to what they could have. Switching to nasty recycled waterbotles from China does nothing for anyone. Those cows will still be slaughtered regardless because no cows are slaughtered just for leather. The fact that used leather bands now sell for more than brand new ones tells you what a massive fail this is. Folks are stocking up on all the old leather ones they can get, and paying a premium to do so.

BREAKING NEWS: Apple product reviewer files "Workman's Comp Claim", due to injuring his finger while removing an Apple Watch Band from its box. Said the product reviewer, "I know my job involves a lot of heavy lifting. But I don't think that ordinary people can fully appreciate how Diiiiificult it is to remove an Apple Watch Band from it's cardboard box -- to be fair, the blue strap is OK, but everything else, time to head to the emergency room" . . . In related news, a drunk topless man was seen protesting the Watch Band box outside of a neighborhood pub. Witnesses said he got tired and went inside for a bathroom break.

It keeps slipping and I have to tighten it throughout the day. I sit in an office. If you move around a lot i am not sure how its going to stay in place. never had these problems with my leather bands. it doesn’t feel cheap but not premium either. Personally I would not recommend these. save your money.
