There’s a reflective version on amazon. I like the real ones as much as anyone but when it comes to the sport loop I don’t notice much of a difference. There is a big difference in the sport bands though.

Have you found specific ones that let the Velcro part pass thru the watch attachment part easily? I have an eBay model where that is pretty tight and it’s annoying. Would love to make a switch. Thanks.

INTENY Sport Band Compatible with Apple Watch 42mm, Soft Lightweight Breathable Nylon Sport Loop, Strap Replacement for iWatch Series 3, Series 2, Series 1 (Black Nike, 42mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JNKPCVD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7pusCbFCW4V96
I ordered this, and received it today.

Unfortunately, it appears to be the same as the eBay version of the Nike reflective I had ordered a few weeks ago.

The Velcro areas are extremely difficult to get through the metal loop, making it a struggle to put this watch on or take it off with this loop installed. As that was the problem is was seeking to solve, this gets me nowhere.

I will be returning this. I appreciate the suggestion, unfortunately this didn’t solve anything since it has the same problem as the knockoff loop I already own.

I really hope they eventually sell it. They sell every other colour.

I wasn’t keen on the sport loop at first, the more I see it though, the more I like it.

They sell the anthracite sport band separately so i’m starting to wish I ordered the black loop model instead.

They finally have the Nike (reflective) sport bands for sale on the Apple website for anyone still interested. They have the black and Summit White.
