You measured further toward your hand than where you would wear a band. You have to measure behind your wrist bone unless you wear your watch on your wrist bone.

@DanielRomero 3 года назад

You’re right! That does give me a 16.3 cm measurement and Apple puts that at a 6! So in the end, it’s correct for a perfect fit but those that want a tighter fit should only size down one! Given that I tried 4 and 5 would be ideal for me. Thanks for the heads up, totally goofed on that part!

@mohammadrkh6446 3 года назад

Exactly!!

@mariagonzalezc.1304 3 года назад

@yamlirpa 3 года назад

Daniel Romero I noticed that right away. In fact I said out loud, “you’re measuring too high up on your wrist! You’re not gonna wear it that high!“

@TheKiwibirder 3 года назад

THANK YOU for addressing the pet hair and dust issue! I have 3 cats and a dog and was hesitating about buying these bands because I worried the hair sticking would be a constant problem. You are the only person I have seen who has addressed this! I thought the braided band would be the worst, but it looks like that is not true at all. I think I’ll pick up one of each type.

@oliverg5980 3 года назад

Hey, how does the band cope with water/sweat? Can you use it for your work out?

@Cicatrix1982 2 года назад

as I don't have an Apple Store near me, I'm very happy that I took the time and effort to do some research about the Braided Solo Loop Band sizing before buying one online and stumbled across this video. my wrist measures 17.5cm on the spot where I wear my Watch normally, which Apple converts into a size 8. following the advice of this video, I ordered myself a size smaller (so size 7) and it fits perfectly! thanks Daniel!

@HJ-vu2my 3 года назад

Should it leave a little indent mark. I’ve tried size 5 and 6 , 6 feels slightly slack but 5 feels tight. Shall I stick with 5 and hopefully it will get slightly bigger when worn in???

@onlineservices2050 3 года назад

For the braided loop, would you also recommend sizing down two sizes from the paper cut out sizing tool?

@redladybug9180 3 года назад

When I get paid, I’m upgrading my series 2 for a series 6. I want the navy blue and matching band. Just deciding between the braided blue loop or just have the silicone standard strap. I’ve measured my wrist multiple times, and got a U.K. size 5. But ppl have said to down size ?-?

@shingod700 3 года назад

I’m right in between size 9 and 10, I tried size 9 for 2 days and it was way too tight. Went to size 10 and it’s perfect. No problem with all the sensor

@ThiagodeMoraes 2 года назад

When you put the braided loop on, do you feel it scratches the entrance of the watch a little bit?

@thebogachanful 3 года назад

Hello Daniel! I want to ask a question.I purchased sport solo loop and size is 7.If I buy braided solo loop ,should I buy size 6 or 5?

@ansonlobowolf 3 года назад

Is you watch the 40mm or the 44mm. Just curious as I have a similar wrist size and wondering if 40mm or 44mm would be better.

@remsrhythm9408 3 года назад

the cut out tells me i’m a size 7. Would you recommend going size 5 to a more tighter fit?

@johndern4350 3 года назад

I just bought a watch and the fourth hole on the included sport band gives me perfect fit. How would this translate to loop sizing?

@marinamekael1214 3 года назад

@noss2818 2 года назад

Really enjoying your reviews! They're helpful, practical, and straight to the point. It feels like like many RU-vidrs focus on things that aren't applicable to everyday life, whereas you do. Thanks for keeping it real!

Great review in size. Very useful specially in these days during Covid-19 when you’re not able to go to the store and try them on.

@snipezzzgh 3 года назад

For the braided solo loop, would it leave marks as the solo loop does after a while

@Draiodoir85 Год назад

Did anybony get the sign of the bracelet around the arm even with the correct size? According with most of your comments, I chose the 6 size instead of the 7 and it seems it fits right but when I take off the watch, it leaves my arm signed. Is it normal?

@sagarrathod1466 3 года назад

Thank you for the review of solo loop bands !! @Daniel Romero you measured your left hand and then wore braided loop of size 7 on right hand !! Not saying your left & right hand sizes are too far apart but dominant hand will always be larger at wrist(very slightly). As these solo loop sizes are very close, may be you should try it on same hand as you measured. Can you please tell us how the size 7 feels on left hand? My hand is measured at 16.5cm and apple recommended size=7, but do you think I should go for size 5 or size 6 ? Also based on your video and other articles, I am convinced I should size down but don't know by 1 or 2 sizes...Thanks again!!

@luisnetoTV 3 года назад

@Daniel Romero: I think the recommendation on whether to a) Go with the recommended size, b) Go down 1 size or c) Go down 2 sizes might depend on whether it's a 40mm or 44mm and whether it's a silicone or treaded band. What are your thoughts on this?

@DanielRomero 3 года назад

Yeah you are right! There are a few variables to consider! I don’t feel like Apple went about sizing properly

@lennyh4392 3 года назад

On the looser band are you having misreads on heart rate, blood o2, ECG sensors ? I would imagine it would have to tight enough not to slide without leaving much of an imprint on skin when removed.

@lilliankurtz 3 года назад

Thank you so much for doing this helpful video!

@HeReads 3 года назад

I’m a size 7 according to Apple but i figured it would be too loose so I got a size 6 and it fits perfectly. I love these new bands, I definitely recommend sizing down by 1.

@clarenceloieprima6747 3 года назад

HeReads yup the bands are REALLY STRETCHY so it’s better to size down than size up.

@Mx6D 3 года назад

yh thats what happened to me. I went to the apple store and the measurements said 8 (which was slightly too lose) but when I tried size 7 it was perfect.

@luisnetoTV 3 года назад

Is your watch 40mm or 44mm?

@charles-philipperatte6842 3 года назад

@moraantoun4260 2 года назад

I also measured myself and I was a size 3 so which color solo loop do you recommend I was thinking either the white solo loop Outpt the abyss blue and it is navy and I like navy so which apple watch solo loop color band do you recommend the white or the abyss blue?

@moraantoun4260 2 года назад

What color Apple Watch do you recommend for the solo loops I was thinking the white but it will probably get dirty very easily and I was also thinking about getting the abyss blue solo loop because it is envy and I usually like navy but I also like the white so which color band do you recommend?

@tendingtropic7778 3 года назад

Thank you Daniel, this is great. So I just measured my wrist, its 15,5 cm. What size would you recommend given your experience? 4?

@adibekman5433 2 года назад

What size were you good at?

@nchia 3 года назад

So the silicone Solo Loop material, would it attract more dust than the regular Sport Band? I've been avoiding "third party" copies because Apple's Sport Band is best in this regard.

@zacklz2327 3 года назад

If I measure using a measuring tape and it was 14.3cm and i got recommended a size 3, should I size down and get a 2 ?

@hlobend2111 Год назад

do you feel, that anytime a band will collapse your skin, or in other words, squeezes your outer skin it is too tight in the long run and will cut circulation? As the tighter one is doing? Thanks.

I want to buy an Apple Watch as a gift for my husband. Is it possible to measure a watch they wear now to get the Apple band size?

Good video, our wrists are the same. I think i will go with the size 6 braided loop. Only problem is, it seem like apple stores are the only ones that sell that version here in the uk. Other outlets dont stock it. Now i have to wait 6-8 weeks delivery :(

One question. Did you get the 40mm watch or the 44mm? Because my wrist is also about 7 inches and what to see which of both Apple Watch sizes go for me. I don’t want the Apple Watch to be looking bulky on me.

@davidb577 3 года назад

Is the regular solo loop more comfortable than the braided? When upgrading to the braided loop, it's actually only 50 dollars. Is this worth it? Thank you!

@DanielRomero 3 года назад

Regular is definitely more comfortable because it almost feels like nothing! The braided feels more like a traditional watchband while still being quite comfortable!

@Dryden-n 3 года назад

So for a good snug fit you would recommend going 3 sizes down from the recommended apple size?

@DanielRomero 3 года назад

I would say Max two sizes! 1 size down should be snug enough for most!

@BlindBlessed 3 года назад

Oh man I just ordered a size 6 and I hope it will be tight enough for me! When I used the measuring tool it pointed to the line between seven and eight so I was gonna order a seven and it’s a good thing I measured again because when I did I was closer to six so I ordered a six. Do you know if Apple Watch bands can be returned/exchanged?

@DanielRomero 3 года назад

Can definitely be returned/exchanged so no worries! Hopefully it fits well on the first try!

@fjfjrfjfjr 3 года назад

Ouch, how did you crack the watch casing?

@briandocili4022 3 года назад

I agree on the comments to order a size down. With their tool, I went with an 11. I assumed I didn't want it too tight...but now it slides up and down my wrist. I am going to the Apple store this weekend to swap out the band for a 10, or maybe even a 9.

@iGobyy 3 года назад

Just got mine too. I measured a size 8 but I went a size smaller and it fits perfectly. My advice, get a size smaller. It's not tight or loose. Just right.

@Satchel1992 3 года назад

Now I’m worried because I used the sizing tool and it said I’m a 7 as well and I don’t like a loose fit for a watch. And Apple doesn’t do swaps for these bands.... I hope it fits me good or I’ll have to return the whole watch and try to reorder with the proper sizing.

@TallysVids 3 года назад

I ordered the braided loop. I printed the Apple tool and ensured it was printed out at the correct size by putting my credit card in the area shown. The Apple tool showed my wrist to be 7, so I thought to be safe I will order a 6 & 7 (as I have read some people say about going for a size less than shown). Well the straps arrived and the 7 was way too big and so was the 6. I've returned the straps and I have just ordered size 4 and 5 (size 4 is the smallest size in the 44 mm strap). Hopefully one of these will fit. Apple have put a note on their website that the Solo Loop increases in size over time. But there's no mention of this for the braided loop (probably due to them been different materials). If I was in the market for another silicone band, I would just go with the original one as its not worth the hassle in my opinion having to try and specifically pick the right size, and also when there is a chance of them increasing in size over time.

@charlesbignill1366 3 года назад

If I have a size 1 on apples website but I want it tight and that solo loop band what would I do?

@coleenpontello7596 3 года назад

I went in the Apple store and my wrist measured a 5. I actually got a size 3 with my Series 6 watch. The 5 was was loose and would slide down my wrist when I put my arm down (I wear my watch just above my wrist bone)

@nghiahuynhh 3 года назад

@wnsbug 3 года назад

You know, there’s also a difference with the 40mm and 44mm. So if you’re getting a band for 44mm, you should subtract 4mm from your wrist because 4mm will be added by the bigger watch. I tried out different numbers on the sizing guide (using cm) but i don’t think the guide takes the different Watch sizes into account

@meghanjames565 3 года назад

@endrew23 3 года назад

How about measuring using the older version of Apple Watch bands with the punch holes? Simply check which setting is ok whilst wearing the watch on the wrist, then take it off and measure from the pin to the hole you used. This way you’ll be measuring where on your wrist you’d wear your watch. Just thinking out loud.

The top of the measuring tool is a square to simulate the watch, put that where you would wear the watch not on your wrist bone and you’d get a better estimate

Online measurements had me at 10. Went in person and used the official tool at Apple. Apple Staff referenced the outside edge (weird): 5 or 6 (which were too small). The arrows pointed at 9. I tried on some bands and am either a 7 or an 8. Not sure how the online tool or official tool were so off for me. Definitely good to try in person if possible. 9 or 10 would've been no good.

I saw that when you were measuring your wrist the tape measure close to your hand. I think you should measure a little lower from your hand like 1 cm lower, because it’s not exact place on your wrist that you wear the watch.
