I have a S8 with a black Nike sports band. If I try having it anything but loose, it makes my wrist sore and even blistered where the end of the band tucks in. Any recommendations for a softer material please?
The irritation you are experiencing in your wrist is likely an allergic reaction to the nickel metal Apple uses in the clasp post of your watch band. Switch to a nylon sports loop with velcro closure (very adjustable, and very very comfortable) and I’m pretty certain you’ll be fine. I guarantee you’ll like it better.
Thanks - just ordered a sports loop
I swear by the apple sport loop and I have both authentic and amazon dupes. If you can swing it, the authentic ones are def. worth it, IMO. Soft, easy to wash/dry and don’t cause any skin irritation.
Just ordered an Apple one thanks!
I just ordered a series 9 that’s coming with one of those and I’m super worried it won’t be durable. How has that been ?
Honestly I have original straps going back 4 years and they all still look/feel/perform like brand new. I occassionally wash them with hand soap or dawn and let them dry and each one still looks perfect. Hope you enjoy yours!
