Because of this picture I caved and bought the peony braided. It’s stunning!

(Skipping the silicone case though. For now. Still loving the aquamarine)

I couldn’t help myself and grabbed the case off poshmark, even though I have fuchsia. I think I just need periwinkle case now.

I bought all the cases when they came out but just kept the tangerine for my son and aqua for me. I have the fuchsia and it’s ok. I do like peony better than that. But it’s pretty bright so idk if I can hang with it on my phone for any length of time. The band is kinda a different story. Maybe I’ll get it down the road before the 17s come out. I’m selling my fuchsia case on eBay so maybe if it goes I’ll opt for the peony. Maybe…. Aqua is pretty hard to beat.

Edit. Never mind I bought the case now too

I think the recognition problem is because the face is upside down

Yes, that watch face flips when it’s in distress.

Here you go …

How to put on (and off) Braided Solo Loops without stretching. Works the same with regular (silicone) Solo Loops, of course, although they don’t stretch out (that much).

Thanks for posting this. I like the way you are putting the band on. It seems to stretch the band much less using this method, versus the traditional way.

I just got my first solo loop (regular silicone). I am really nervous about taking the band off like you did in the video. It seems like you have to put more torque on the band to turn the watch over, than the traditional method. Have you done this a lot with your Solo Loops? I feel like I am going to snap mine, using this method. 😬 😬 😬

In my experience torquing the silicone solo loop will eventually cause the sharp steel lug inside to cut through the rubber. And silicone loops don’t have anywhere near the stretching issue as the braided.

Thanks for the reply... So do you remove your Solo Loops via the traditional way (slide over the wrist)?

I have done this with all my Solo Loops, braided and rubber, basically from the day they were first released, every single time I put them on. They are all absolutely pristine (and have obviously not stretched).

In my experience torquing the silicone solo loop will eventually cause the sharp steel lug inside to cut through the rubber.

Never happened to me, ever. Maybe you‘re doing it wrong (i.e. have not practiced enough?)

And silicone loops don’t have anywhere near the stretching issue as the braided.

This is true. So if you fear for your rubber, just put it on the traditional way.

Went and got periwinkle sport band and case

They don’t make a braided loop. Any one have any suggestions on past braided loops that might come close??

I found a slate braided on eBay in my size 2 that I need. I think that should be the closest? Too bad Apple didn’t come out with a periwinkle braided. I would have bought that!

It’s not as purple but it’s one of my favorite colors, quick edit:

Holding this pic up next to the borders of my case the slate looks the closest although the English lavender looks amazing too!
