I use the solo loop when I exercise and sweat, and otherwise I try to use the braided solo loop if I remember to switch bands. Both are super comfortable, but the braided solo loop is just a little bit more comfortable.

I think the braided solo loop is more durable. I don’t like how the solo loops have a shine to them pretty quickly on the darker colors and they’re harder to put on and take off.

I have the black solo loop and I haven’t noticed any shine to it. I take it on and off every day before and after my workout and I haven’t felt like it was an onerous thing to do. It’s also held up about as well as my black braided solo loop that I got at the same time. But the braided solo loop is more comfortable on my wrist.

the charcoal braided solo loop feels slightly looser than the black solo loop too.

i like the braided solo loops but i have a small wrist and the size 4 on the 45mm is still a bit too big for me :( would it look wierd to use a 41mm size 3 on the 45mm watch?

I got the new Braided loop and it's really nice. Went a size down as suggested (tried on in store). The fit is currently a bit tight and it's leaving an imprint on my wrist. Still doable but I was just curious how long it takes to get this to stretch out a little?

I got a braided loop with my S7, delivered on 10/15, so 6 days ago. I ordered a size 5, based on the sizing tool (I was between a 5 and 6). It left an imprint on my wrist for 3 - 4 days. Even then, it wasn’t uncomfortable, but it’s more comfortable now. I just hope it doesn’t keep stretching. (Of course, the weather has cooled off now, so maybe my wrist is a little smaller.)

It shouldn’t take more than a week or so. I started off with a 4 (one down) and ended up going with the recommended 5. I wished later on that I kept the 4. They both stretched a little by about a week. The 5 ended up being just a tad bit too loose for me, especially when wrist get smaller/cold. It’s wearable, but it moves around a little more than I’d like.

I feel confident that my new 4 will end up perfect.
