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.
That’s if you’re lucky enough if you’re not a thin-wristed man who still wants to go with a 45mm watch 😬 The smallest band available to me would still be too wide even without being stretched
Really is, £49 it should be and even then that's pricey. Can't believe they are charging £99 for essentially a braided rubber band. Tried one on in store though and it's very comfortable.
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.
Same here. I used Apple’s guide and a measuring tape and they gave differing sizes by two, needless to say I didn’t order the Series 6. No Apple stores are open in the UK so no new Apple Watch for me and no money for Apple.
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.
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.
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.
I used the sizing tool but then went in store to try it on. I was between 5 and 6 online, but 4 was more comfortable in person. I’d say round down, and then go down a size again
What is the circumference of your wrist? Online it suggested a 6 for me and seeing that he’d prefer a size 5 is concerning (I have skinny girly wrists)
On the apple website there is a template you can print and you have to wrap it around your arm, and then it will show what the size is, then you can select that size. Or you can go to apple
I measured at 7 and thanks to your input I bought a 6 and fits perfectly so I would say just buy one smaller size than what you measure..... But still $99 is a lot for it
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.
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.
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
For those that already own a watch. Why couldn’t they use the hole you use on the regular sports band as a reference to point you in the right direction?
Sellers on amazon and etsy have been making these styles of bands out of many different materials for years. The plus with etsy is you give the seller an exact size not a number. Also a fraction of the cost.
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?
Went to buy my Series 6 at my local Apple store, I asked them if they have any available solo loop band and I was told they do but they haven't check all of their inventories yet bc they're still busy. lmao
Knowing Apple, the spring event might have new band’s probably and they might do more colors for the solo loops especially the braided ones since those are the most popular ones right now
Thanks! I’ll double check the size, when I’ll get my (first) Apple Watch (and first iPhone) 👍 By the way nice voice and clean video shoots! Hope your channel will grow a lot.
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
It's more like 70% of the quality on Amazon, Apple has higher standards in their factories the knock-offs look and feel worse. For something you are constantly wearing maybe for years it's not a bad deal for a lot of people, that's why they're sold out until December.
@@NickSiekierski Exactly the Apple bands are much stronger and durable and will last a very long time. Not to mention if they get wet they will dry faster. The knock-offs are lower quality and will loose shape over a short time.
An apple employee sized me a 9. For 2 days I was getting so annoyed that the Watch wouldn’t be facing me full on when I turned my wrist. I was actually a size 8. It’s turned my watch into a bracelet it’s so amazing
i actually end up getting a rash from the silicon material they use in the standard bands so im using the braided band "same color" works and feels perfect for me.
I had the rash, exactly the same! I'm in talks with Apple at the moment, who have said I can send in the silicone one and get a replacement from them... now trying to work out which will be best to buy!
I have one on order but I'm curious for those that already have one - how much do you see the metallic part? I have the graphite watch and the connector appears to be regular stainless...worried about color matching...
This video is very helpful. I have the same wrist size about 16.8cm. I was going to order size 7. But not sure about it. I was looking for this kind of size review for a few days. Thanks.
I had a rash from the sport band too, I got the sport loop and it itched a bit on the first week but it’s now super comfortable! If you didn’t buy the braided loop and want a cheaper Apple official option go for the sport loop!
No, it’s not recommended to be loose, it should be snug but not tight otherwise you’ll have issues with it trying to monitor heart rate, blood oxygen, etc.
This is the only highlight of the series 6 lol everything else is kinda meh but its a good watch nonetheless. In beginning to like this braided loop but the price is just too ridiculous
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)
I got an 8 and it’s not too tight but not too loose so I’m just hoping they don’t stretch over time otherwise I could have gone down to a 7 but the 8 fits nicely so I doubt I’ll have any issues. I went to the Apple store and used their tool and it worked for me so maybe you did something wrong, cuz I know a few people who used the measuring thing and didn’t do it properly.
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?
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.
I know this will sound crazy but after wearing this Braided Band for 2 weeks it is worth every penny. 🙂 Without a doubt this is the most comfortable watch with this band that I have ever worn. Until now I never could wear a watch for any longer than a few hours before I wold have to remove a watch as I never could stand the feeling of a watch on my wrist. I can wear this 24/7. 🖤😎
Can it fit a 42mm apple series 3? I really don’t require a series 6 or a series 5 for that matter. But I like the solo loop and the braided loop is hella sexyyyy
I just uploaded a video showing this and for me the printable sizing tool doesn't work either. Even wrapping it extremely tight still recommends a 7 so I definitely feel that anyone wanting it not to be loose should go a size down or at least consider it!
This thing sucks for how much it costs. The metallic clasps were not a tight enough fit and they would rip my arm hairs out. Also the fit was no good after just a week. Thank God it was in warranty.
I buy all my apple watch bands from Amazon. They cost from $5.99-34.99. I just bought a watch band like the above for $24.95 compared to apples ridiculous prices for watch bands that are made in China no less LOL
I think this measuring method is wrongly designed. this is because while measuring you going all around the wrist to get a reading, where else you should measure up to the sides to give a room for the watch as the loop will not meet end to end as the method suggests.(because of the watch ofcourse).
My wrist is 16 cm - Apple's recommendation would be a 6 or 7 depending on how tight I placed the printable tool. I decided to go with a 5 after watching iJustine's review and I knew a wanted it to sit firmly on the wrist without sliding while still being comfortable. This video made me cancel the order and place a new one for a size 4. Hoping it will be a perfect fit!
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
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.
What is the circumference of your wrist? Seeing that you prefer a size 5/6 is concerning because I was recommended a size 6 (I have twiggy girl wrists with a circumference of just above 6 inches)
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 I will remember that
Can enjoy loop few month
That’s if you’re lucky enough if you’re not a thin-wristed man who still wants to go with a 45mm watch 😬
The smallest band available to me would still be too wide even without being stretched
@@opinionatedoliver3680 get the smaller Apple Watch? Maybe Apple will come out with a Fitbit style watch in the fall…
@@absolutely1337 I don’t like the smaller one so much, my last android wear smartwatch was even somewhat bigger than the 45mm Apple Watch.
Looks great, but 99 quid is a ridiculous price for this.
Really is, £49 it should be and even then that's pricey. Can't believe they are charging £99 for essentially a braided rubber band. Tried one on in store though and it's very comfortable.
True. $49 would be better. I’ll pass.

I love this band and it fits perfectly because I went two sizes down from what I measured on the advice of others.
I have a question can you go shower with it

For those that already own a watch. Why couldn’t they use the hole you use on the regular sports band as a reference to point you in the right direction?
great idea. I'm at the first hole on my 41 mm band. wonder what size will that be for the braided solo loop

I’m not working a whole shift of work just to give it back to Apple for a band.

Hello~ I am living in S. Korea. Your review helped a lot. I have one question. Is Braided solo loop dry quickly when it gets wet?
Glad it helped! The braided does not dry quickly it retains sweat/water for some time!
Thanks for both the question and the answer. I was wondering as well 😎
Daniel Romero Thank you :)
It takes between 20 minutes to dry
Ben Jung 한국인이시군요 반가워요 ㅎㅎ
But cloth on your wrist.. you wear it on sweaty wrists after a workout…how do you maintain those straps. I am a little skeptical.
this braided solo loop will look vnice on the blue series 6
I just bought large I don’t know what you’re talking about size 4 and size seven but they come in small medium and large hopefully large is big enough
So what size did your wrist measure? Using Apples measure? Tks
I really wish Apple would release purple watch bands 😭
Etsy/eBay
There ya go
hireikana18 I want actual Apple ones lol
Lexie Cassel fair enough, but those two are there if ya just gotta have one now lol
Knowing Apple, the spring event might have new band’s probably and they might do more colors for the solo loops especially the braided ones since those are the most popular ones right now
They did. The color is called Ultra Violet. $100 on eBay from charger store. Also, the Hyper Grape Nike bands has purple on them.
Thanks! I’ll double check the size, when I’ll get my (first) Apple Watch (and first iPhone) 👍
By the way nice voice and clean video shoots! Hope your channel will grow a lot.
lol, all that stretch might as well get the smallest size?
Have you ever try soaking in the water, like when you wash your hand?does it leave a smell and does it take long to dry out? thank you
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.
hi, which case are you using? thanks
What watch case do you have??
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

Is the braided band a cloth or rubber material
I measured as a 7 and also ordered the blue so I will see on the 28th when it arrives
You should have gone to the apple shop and bought it as pre orders and online orders take a long time to arrive
How it fits? I also have 7 acoording to apple measurment but I am afraid to order it without trying.
I can’t even find these things!

I measured and ordered a size 5, and it was fine, but after a couple of months it's started to feel a bit loose, so I just ordered a 4.
Gonna try out this type of strap, the sports strap has caused a massive rash and swelling on my wrist :(.
I had a rash from the sport band too, I got the sport loop and it itched a bit on the first week but it’s now super comfortable! If you didn’t buy the braided loop and want a cheaper Apple official option go for the sport loop!
The Apple app said I was a 9 so I ordered that. I’m actually a 7 so it seems like they may be 2 sizes too high.
Will this stretch out over time?
Not very soon but yeah I do believe it will stretch out a bit!
What watch shield are you using?
No, it’s not recommended to be loose, it should be snug but not tight otherwise you’ll have issues with it trying to monitor heart rate, blood oxygen, etc.

This is the only highlight of the series 6 lol everything else is kinda meh but its a good watch nonetheless. In beginning to like this braided loop but the price is just too ridiculous

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 got an Amazon band like this and it’s not the best quality. Glad I only paid $9
You get what you pay for
This video literally answered my questions lol
I think that you just stretched it to a size 8 😂
Braided is 1 size lower than silicone. I rock 9 in silicone and 8 in braided. Trust me
Do you have protective case for your Apple Watch? If yes, can you provide name? Thanks!
I suggest rhinoshield . I use mine on series 6
I got mine for 12 bucks on Amazon don’t over spend . Is nothing to write home about .
I know this will sound crazy but after wearing this Braided Band for 2 weeks it is worth every penny. 🙂
Without a doubt this is the most comfortable watch with this band that I have ever worn. Until now I never could wear a watch for any longer than a few hours before I wold have to remove a watch as I never could stand the feeling of a watch on my wrist. I can wear this 24/7. 🖤😎
Don't waste your $$ on these shit. Amazon or others will release affordable ones soon

@@UfukKay make sure you take the measurement by wrapping the tool as tightly as you can around your wrist! Then the size will be perfect
I just uploaded a video showing this and for me the printable sizing tool doesn't work either. Even wrapping it extremely tight still recommends a 7 so I definitely feel that anyone wanting it not to be loose should go a size down or at least consider it!
slamandjam2 ok 15,8 😄
Is a size 4 the shortest ? What size is the longest?
This thing sucks for how much it costs.
The metallic clasps were not a tight enough fit and they would rip my arm hairs out.
Also the fit was no good after just a week.
Thank God it was in warranty.
Size 11 the heck? Thats impossible
Hey!!! Great vid, what’s the bumper case? Thank
what is your watch case? thanks for the video.
What happened to the watch? Looks like it is covered in packing still?
It’s a protective cover for the case
apple's measurement guide shows exact 4 for me. should I go with 4 or 3?
I buy all my apple watch bands from Amazon. They cost from $5.99-34.99. I just bought a watch band like the above for $24.95 compared to apples ridiculous prices for watch bands that are made in China no less LOL
I think this measuring method is wrongly designed. this is because while measuring you going all around the wrist to get a reading, where else you should measure up to the sides to give a room for the watch as the loop will not meet end to end as the method suggests.(because of the watch ofcourse).
Everyone who wants a loop band. Go to Amazon and search “Apple Watch loop bands” I saved way more money, And no I’m not a bot.
I can’t find any on amazon yet, did you fund them on Amazon US?
Get it on aliexpress for
My wrist is 16 cm - Apple's recommendation would be a 6 or 7 depending on how tight I placed the printable tool. I decided to go with a 5 after watching iJustine's review and I knew a wanted it to sit firmly on the wrist without sliding while still being comfortable. This video made me cancel the order and place a new one for a size 4. Hoping it will be a perfect fit!
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
Was the 4 a good fit? Am also a 16cm when it comes to the wrist and ordered a 5, think its pretty good. Thank you
@@matimze I overcompensated, had to send the 4 back and got a 5 instead :)
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.
HeyguyshowsitgoingDanielhere -- always gets me smiling; love your reviews!
I have one but it’s black
The watch is not supposed to be placed at the end of your hand it's supposed to be near the center
Is this the midnight color ?
What is the circumference of your wrist? Seeing that you prefer a size 5/6 is concerning because I was recommended a size 6 (I have twiggy girl wrists with a circumference of just above 6 inches)
Want it loose. When you work out your body swells and the band would be uncomfortable
