Apple's New Braided Loop for the Apple Watch is one of the most comfortable bands ever for the Apple Watch! It is my all time favorite band for the Apple Watch! This band in the video is a Size 7 which is Apple's size recommendation but it's too big for my taste!

Even if you start with the perfect fit, it will stretch in a few months time to become too loose. There is however an easy fix. Soaking it in hot water (125° F) for about 20 minutes then letting it dry out on a flat surface overnight will restore it to its original size. It does not have to be exactly 125° F but that’s what worked for me.

Thank you for making these vids sharing the sizing issues. I feel more comfortable now seeing a size 7 being worn.

@DesertTriDad 3 года назад

Same experience for me with the solo band. I measured a 7, and even borderline 8. I even tried taking a like a half inch off the measurement to see if it would recommend a size down and I was still a 7. For daily wear it’s probably good, very slightly loose for my liking, but the comfort of the somewhat looser fit makes the watch disappear on the wrist. I then ordered a size 5 to use for working out and that’s been perfect for how snug I like it for working out. I feel like 6 would be the sweet spot if I just wanted to use one band. Conversely my wife prefers the slightly looser fit.

@slinkybandinky2775 3 года назад

I love this band and it fits perfectly because I went two sizes down from what I measured on the advice of others.

@joeyappleseed3158 3 года назад

I was recommended a size 7 as well and I took a chance and went with the size 5 and it fits perfectly. It’s the most comfortable Apple Watch band that I have ever had yes $100 is a little pricey but if comfort matters to you I would highly recommend this band

@staciedennison783 3 года назад

The Apple sizing tool that I printed off had me at the exact cutoff between 6 and 7. I ordered a 5. It fits great-snug enough so it doesn’t move around but not too tight. $100 is too much for it.

@stannis768 3 года назад

If your ordering a new Apple watch, you can select the braided sport loop as your default band. I ordered a series 6 and chose the braided sport loop band in the blue featured above. What was interesting was I received a grey sport loop rubbery band as well (the standard $50 band). I will say I ordered the size 7 band, according to Apple’s measurement suggestion, and it’s a tad bit loose then what I would like. It fits but it’s just not as snug as I prefer. I’m going to exchange it for a size 6. I suggest if you are going to get this watch band, order a size down from what Apple suggests unless you like the loose fit. I’m not sure adorning a loose fit will affect the sensors that need to maintain contact with your wrist?

@thedavidj1996 3 года назад

I really want to pick up one of these when Apple adds more stock. I didn’t really get a good feel for them on the website and Apple store app but seeing them in person I really want one. And really I don’t care about price because I’ve been using the same black silicone band for 5 years on 2 different Apple watches. I don’t really switch out bands often, but I did pick up the black solo band.

@JoeT83 3 года назад

@bengoodey 2 года назад

Used the measurement band and came slightly between 7 and 8, and based on Apples recommendations I got the 7. Got to loose not long after daily use and now just sits in the drawer. As Apple launched a new braided design today, the Unity band, I`ve decided to try a 6 and see if that one holds up longer.

@pathakkkk 11 месяцев назад

@bingbong7169 Месяц назад

I don't have a solo loop or solo braided loop but I have a sport loop and its good. The tricky thing with getting tightness just right is that the wrist size changes ever so slightly when you go from a fist to an open hand. So depending on who you are and which hand is your dominant hand and which wrist you wear your watch on. You might be like me and try to find a size that is good for both your smallest size (holding a fist) and largest size (holding a completely open hand). That is something to consider when getting a band like the one in the video (the solo loop or the braided solo loop) especially considering it is a fixed, one-size band (non-adjustable)

@mrsahilbawa 2 года назад

Great video! However, you do not need the box to check the size of the band. The size is printed on the band near the metal connnectors.

I've never seen a case for an Apple watch before, they always seem pretty indestructable already (much more resiliant than traditional watches that can cost up to $20k or more). How ever did you manage to smash that one?! I've had Apple watches sine 2016 and I'm always banging mine on door frames, tables, etc., but I've never even managed to scratch it. Did you hit it with a hammer?

@qwertyzxaszc6323 3 года назад

The braided loop is so nice. Causal elegance, which fits the Apple Watch perfectly. It’s a casual device. The Milanese band is a bit too pretentious, and the sport bands are just tacky. So this one fits the Apple Watch perfectly. To me at least. But yes, it’s kinda pricey.

@slamandjam2 3 года назад

When I measured, I used a bendy ruler, and I wrapped it as tight as I possibly could around my wrist and took the measurement. Because I knew it would at least expand a little with time. And I got a perfect from that. I think most people when they took their measurement, took it to where they might feel it feels comfortable. Don't do that, go as tight as you can when you take the measurement, you'll get a good fit

@r.m.2737 3 года назад

@Shadowx011 3 года назад

I measure right at 7” and was recommended 7/8...so I ordered the size 6. It feels very snug maybe a little too much but I would rather it feel more snug rather than a little too lose. I already notice the band feeling a little bit looser after wearing it for 3 hours...so I think the size 6 is perfect for me. 🖤😎🖤 Update: Well I had to send the size 6 back and get a size 7. The 6 felt nice and snug however as the day went on it would get much snugger...especially when weight training at the gym where my whole arm expands. The 6 was getting so snug at the gym that my fingers were getting cold. Now using the size 7 it is not as snug as the size 6 but still perfectly snug enough and I prefer the slightly looser feeling which allows room for when my wrist expands throughout the day from fluids etc.

@richard-davies 3 года назад

Apples guide is way off, tried the printable one and even tried the official Apple one they have in store and both recommended I was a 10/11. When I tried a 10 in store it was hanging off my wrist. If I held my arm straight out I could have passed the body of an Apple watch between the band and my wrist with the gap, ridiculous. Eventually found the perfect size which was about the same tightness as my nike sports band was and that was a size 7. Apple needs to tweak this measurement tool as it's terrible. A decent measurement tool would be basing it on the rubber sports band that most probably have. So if you have a M/L and use hole 3 here is you recommended size solo loop size, bet this would be tons more accurate.

@DanielRomero 3 года назад

100% agree! Something really odd with apple's measurements!

@InimitaPaul 3 года назад

@sut2910 3 года назад

There is almost a full size difference between the 2 Apple cases. Does Apple account for this? Seems like it would make a difference. If I order the 44 mm case, I should go down 1 full size, if the tool is based on the 40 mm watch, or did they just average the case size at 42? So who has an actual watch band (of a known size number) that they can measure? 2/7/22 - update. My blue apple band which initially was tight, has stretched to be unusable and i only wore it occasionally not everyday. Waste of money. I picked up some aftermarket bands on Amazon for about $9 that fit nicely and appear to be same as apple band. At least when they stretch i wont feel like i overpaid.
