Apple Watch Band 45mm - Sport Loop Strap for Apple Watch Series 9/8/7/SE - Blue Jay/Abyss Blue - Extra Large Size - Comfortable & Breathable for Running, Workouts & Daily Wear

I had an Apple Watch a few years ago and got a non-Apple nylon band for it when its original Sport band irritated my skin. Fast forward to now, I have a gold Apple Watch SE, and I’m not taking any chances with the irritation.I chose the green/blue Sport Loop because I liked the colors (and they generally suit my vampire-olive skin tone). It goes ok with the gold case—it’s grown on me, for sure. I chose the Sport Loop option itself because it was less overwhelming than trying to pick something from the myriad of non-Apple options out there. I also have super reactive skin and didn’t want to have a reaction to a mystery/unexpected adhesive or some other unforeseen variable and figured this would be a safe bet.Choosing the Apple Sport Loop was a good choice for me. The attacher bars are secure, the velcro isn’t annoying, I’m able to get the band snug enough but not too snug, I haven’t had any irritation from the band.I switch the Sport Loop out for the original Starlight band the watch came with when I go outside, since the original band’s material is quicker to wash and dry than the Sport Loop, and thanks to severe allergies I have to keep the outside out of the inside the best I can. (I’ve read the Sport Loop dries quickly, but I haven’t tested that out yet.) The bands switch out quickly and smoothly; I have some coordination issues so it was initially a little tough to tell if I was reattaching the Sport Loop correctly, but I now just remember that the little blue bar at the end of the band should go with the attacher for the bottom of the watch case. (That might sound like a goofy problem to have; believe me, it IS a goofy problem to have.)As with most of the Amazon Warehouse products I’ve ordered, I’m very satisfied with the condition of this product, and would recommend to anyone looking to save a few bucks on a Sport Loop to keep an eye out for an Open Box one.I found this band to be a great improvement over the band that originally came with the watch. I can adjust it to absolutely fit my wrist, so it is not too tight or too loose. I would order it again.I had the original band that came with the watch that I loved, but unfortunately the metal button that snaps it together around your wrist ended up giving me a rash. I wanted something easy to get on and off, but also capable of withstanding daily, sweaty workouts. I am not a fan of the dual colors or many of the color sets available as I would’ve preferred just a single color. I debated between this one or the solid loop, but was concerned that the solo loop would stretch out over time and require a replacement. I’m glad I decided to go with this band. It is soft and doesn’t appear to get dirty easily either. Would definitely buy another if they released some better colors.I purchase a bunch of new watch bands along with my new 45mm series 7 including this one. I bought a few apple originals and two generic bands. The most important thing I found is just how much genuine apple products are worth their premium. For the sport loops, genuine apple is amazing, they feel so nice and hold up extremely well, not to mention they just look fantastic compared to the competition. I bought a more expensive generic sport loop and it was itchy and looked really cheap, within the same day I already saw frayed pieces of fabric sticking up. I’ve had other apple sport loops for over a year that never had a single thread out of place and they never start to look dirty either, although you should obviously still clean them but they never look like they need it. I’d happily take a single apple band over a dozen generic bands any day. As far as this midnight/eucalyptus band, it looks absolutely fantastic. It’s not too dark at all and the lighter blue piping on the edges really accents the darker colors perfectly. I think this must be part of apples pricing, they just go through so much development even in things like color matching but even more so in using the very best materials they can source. It really shows to, once you have a genuine sport loop in your hands next to a generic sport loop there is no question, apples products are superior in every single way, it isn’t even a competition, apples stuff is in another league all together.What can I say? How can you beat an Apple product!I like the watch band. Comfortable. No issues wearing or charging my watch with it on.I loved it. I get so many compliments when I wear it.Tried several sport loop and other bands for a new Apple Watch Series 7. After two weeks and 5 different bands we settled on these for our two watches.Easy to put on and take off. Stays on wrist securely during exercise. Velcro securing tabs are superior to all others we tried. Good quality materials and build quality.We got them Used from Amazon Warehouse and they both arrived looking brand new.Recommended if you can afford them.I have a number of different bands for my Apple watch, including the one it came with. I would have to say that this one is my most favorite and most comfortable band. The colors are subdued and not too bright. Most of the time I forget that I'm wearing my watch. I've only had this band on now for a little over two months, I think, so cannot speak to the longevity of the band. Clearly it attaches by little Velcro strips, so this might fail after some time! I haven't tried this style of band by a different manufacturer, so maybe I will do that too, as Apple own products do tend to be more expensive. As far as I'm concerned for now, the quality is definitely there with this one.Estava de olho nessa pulseira Pride 2022 desde o início do ano, e decidi me dar uma de presente de aniversário. Reconheço que o preço aqui no Brasil é surreal, mas posso dizer que valeu a pena, por ser uma edição limitada (anual). Suas cores são lindas e vibrantes; a palavra 'Pride' é escrita em uma forma de "relevo" no Nylon; é ideal para usar durante o treino, uma vez que não absorve o suor e seca rapidamente após a lavagem. Pulseira original Apple.Excelente correa, es la primera vez que compro la original de Apple y se nota la calidad en sus productos. En relación costó benéfico vale la pena.Fits well and adjusts easily, and is overall comfortable to wear, however when wrist get sweaty the band gets a little slippy and allows watch to slide around.Love this band feels much better than the one that comes with it I’m going to order more colors
