Apple Sport Loop x Nike Sport Loop

[pedrohen]

Hey, guys!
I am planning to purchase a black Nike Nike Sport Loop and I wonder: does the Nike SL feel the same as Apple? I saw in a video that Nike's is not as "soft" as Apple's. That's true?

I have the Nike Teal Tint Sport Loop and an Apple one. There's no difference that I can tell.

I've never noticed that.

The newish Nike ones are reflective unlike the regular Apple ones.

Nike's SL and Apple's SL feel the same to me. Both living up to the hype as the "Sweatpants of Apple Watch Bands"

Thanks!

Hi there. As a band collector I can make sure that since Apple Watch S5, the Apple loop is different from the Nike loop. The density of nylon wave on Apple loop is greater than that on Nike loop. I feel more comfortable with Apple loop, but I can understand they cannot increase the density of nylon wave on Nike loop, that will decrease the reflection. There is no difference between Apple loop of S4 and the Nike loop.

Attached is my collection.

And you are correct, Apple loop (since S5) is softer.

We have a Nike sports loop for the 4. Is the length of the loop the same for non-nike loops?

I’m not even sure I would say “softer” or not, but the newer Apple non-Nike bands are definitely a little bit thicker And overall more comfortable in my opinion at least.

Cool, have a newer 40mm sport loop coming for the hubby’s Series 5 I just got him for $300 at Best Buy. It’s fun to see the guy that said “he’d never wear that watch - or any watch” now wearing it and trying to figure out all the health stuff, ECG, and watch faces available to him. Still snickering about it.

Sure thicker, greater density of nylon wave, more comfortable.
