Why I cannot recommend the Graphite Milanese Loop for the Apple Watch

Thank you!

Try wearing the watch above the wrist bone. It’s more comfortable generally, give a tighter fit, and would eliminate the issue of it slipping. It might feel strange at first, but you’ll get used to it in a few days!

Over time magnets do get weaker, but here is a tip if your Apple Watch Milanese loop magnet gets weaker . Go buy a strong magnet or if you have one laying around then that would be perfect, and go ahead and rub the magnet against the magnet part of the band in linear strokes for about 15 minutes and it should realign the domains of the weaker magnet there by making the magnet stronger. hope this helps you save money instead of buying a brand new band.

just got a similar strap for my galaxy watch 4. I'm an engineering grad so I noticed that the problem is the perforations in the band combined with the smoothness of the metal buckle and puffs of air causes it to slowly loosen throughout the day (kinda like an air hockey table puck sliding aronund). The solution was simple: create friction on the buckle. What I did was apply a few (8-10) tiny dots of hot glue / super glue on the magnetic bit (pinhead sized) and let it dry. The bumps created by that causes it to grip onto the perforations of the strap. And because cyanoacrylate is softer than stainless steel, you shouldn't see any scratches either.

I have the same problems as in the video. I have the silver Milanese Loop, installed on a stainless steel Series 6 and have used it now for a couple of years since the Series 6 first came out. The band does the same things as in the video. It was somewhat better in my first year of its use, but now the constant slippage is really annoying. I am ready to get a different band. I suspect that the design of the band coupled with wrist motion results in the slippage. I have thought of some other possible causes: (1) skin oil buildup over the magnet and especially over the mesh links of the band itself-but I’ve tried various cleaning methods and so far, cleaning has not made a difference (I have not used an actual metal cleaner product yet.). (2) the magnetic strength may be weakening, making the product worse with the passage of time.

Wear it higher. After watching I noticed it is the movement if your hand causing the band to slip.😃

if you change the band opposide down, the wrist will not loosen anymore. physics bend in then. i use the same band but oppsoide, and it holds pretty good like this. Try it out

Flip it around, the loose end towards the 6 o’clock side. I have the same band it doesn’t do this if the loose end closes towards you (not away)

I do have the same apple watch band... I have not had any issues... Thank you for your input...!

Not my favourite band. I have only worn it 1 full day in almost the year owning it, but it didn’t loosen at all. Perhaps it is a weaker magnet and being heavier causing the problem. It looks amazing with the graphite stainless steel watch.

... There's nothing wrong with the band, you're not wearing the watch right. That is not where you wear a watch, my friend. It supposed to be above that, on your wrist.

Do u have stainless steel watch??

Your watch doesn’t go there. Goes above your wrist bone. Let’s start there.

Easy. Noticed it right away, you have your watch too close to your "bending" area of your wrist. The watch should sit on the other side before that potruding bone.

Errr….you’ve installed it backwards. The loop should be at the top of the watch, not the bottom.

You wearing it wrong. The watches were never intended to be worn on a wrist joint, they're meant to be worn on the wrist itself. Move the watch lower and you won't have this issue.

its probably a manufacturing error

You are not wearing it right, look up where a watch band is supposed to go.
