Hi there is anyone else having the issue of needing to constantly tighten the Leather Link band? I got the S/M and it has links up to about halfway around my wrist. Maybe this wouldn’t be an issue if it was fully wrapped?

Anyone else encounter this - the website info indicated I’d be good with the smaller size but not very happy with how it loosens up so easily.

I have no problems with mine loosening, I have the M/L (big wrists) and there are four 'links' between the overlap and casing.

It seems to be getting slightly better not sure if the leather breaking in a bit helps with this or I’m just not bending my wrist as much as I had before

Try wearing it slightly further back from your wrist. It’s pretty wide it might be that

I did for the first few days, have the M/L, but don't nearly as much now. I think this may be the first band I have ever had that had a learning curve.

Ditto. I posted about this in another thread. I have the sequoia green in s/m and it’s a struggle to get the band to fit snug on my wrist. It feels like my stainless steel apple watch is a bit heavy for the band. Perhaps it works better with the aluminum Apple Watch because it’s lighter? also, the magnets tend to shift when I move about so it feels like my watch is sending me a tap notification. I’m on the fence about keeping it.
