Solo loop: one band to rule them all

[ericg301]

I just have to say, going back to the original Apple Watch, I've collected a couple dozen bands...most 3rd party, of the sport variety. I would swap them out frequently. But ever since I splurged on a Navy solo loop back in November, I haven't wanted to wear any other band. It's light. It's comfortable. And it fits like a glove. I feel bad staring at the rest of my band collection...sitting in my nightstand drawer collecting dust. Does anyone else feel the same way?

jup.. have to agree! the braided solo loops are very comfy and sort of breathable .. i hope, the plum braided solo loop will be reality some day =)
if grepping another band type for color reasons, most of the time ill take the solo loop again after two hours tops ☺️

Agree I had the cyprus green solo loop and waiting for another deep navy to be delivered. So comfortable, so simple.

Hi there, slightly off topic. What color watch do you have. I got the navy solo loop with my SG watch and just ordered the Cyprus green and a little unsure about green. What is your opinion, thanks.

Cyprus Green is my favorite solo band. It's a dark mature color. I've been waiting for this color for a long time. All previous green are too light or too blue (peacock, forest green). This Cyprus green is really true green

You wear size 1?

 

[charlyee]

You wear size 1?

I do. Why and how did you know.

I see the estimated delivery date you told me, only size 1

What's the length of your wrist?

 

[charlyee]

Impressive! . By length did you mean the diameter of my wrist? If so it’s 5 1/16”.

Now if you can do something about expediting my watch band, that would be great.

Your size is the only size that will be shipped for so long

I am also wearing the braided solo loop most of the time now. Really comfortable and I like not having to adjust anything when putting it on, especially compared to my Milanese band. The only two problems are, you have to stay roughly the same weight and the resale value will probably be less as the target market is smaller due to the fixed size.

But your waiting really worths. Cyprus green is mysterious beautiful. That color can go with any case type, especially gold stainless steel.

this green reminds me of good old British sports cars.. like "british racing green" =) just wonderful!!

I am just not into these solo bands at all and I hope they don’t become the standard. I run and work out a LOT and it just seems like they would trap sweat underneath and not breathe whatsoever.

But washing it is so easy

If I’m exercising outside in the heat I’ll switch to a Nike style band. But for indoors, where I do most of my exercise, the solo loop is fine for me.

How do you get the Artist watch face to show just an outline like that against the black background. I'd never seen that before.

 

[schlupps]

Allways on display S5/S6 in inactive mode i think

I like them, especially the braided solo loop. I was not happy with how quickly the solo loop began to show wear. The coating doesn’t last very long before you have that shiny look and start picking up lint more.

Also, I find the braided solo loop much easier to put on and take off. It just slides on and off effortlessly. The normal solo loop takes more effort and tends to twist on the wrist.

I ended up getting a used solo loop instead, which I paid much less for. Now the wear on it doesn’t bother me as much.

Feel exactly the same. Got 6 other straps, mostly Nike, and I’ve not touched them since getting the solo loop.

It's in Always on Display mode where the whole screen is dimmed.

Until the braided solo loop came out I had used, for nearly 4 years, the nylon sport loop (For its comfort and ability to fit a bit more precisely). The braided solo loop has ruined me. It’s even that much more convenient and comfortable than the nylon sport loop. I do wish they weren’t quite so spendy :S
