I believe my friends, this is what is referred to as a troll.
Huh? heavy ... not even for a female with little girly arms is it heavy
I wouldn't call it extremely heavy, but after a full day of wearing it, my arm does get tired.
On the contrary, I did exactly that and I didn't felt my arm get tired stretch out like that
"extremely heavy"?! Your man card needs to be revoked, seriously...
Im 135 pounds soaking wet and I barely notice the 42mm band on my arm with a stainless link.

comics addict, thank you for such a funny thread
Been a watch person all my life and the AW is way lighter than what I have been wearing for the last few years. I suspect my band on my mechanical watch weights as much as my entire 42mm SS.
It is all what you are used to wearing. You either had a very light watch or wore none at all and it will take some getting used too. Not many return because of weight in these forums.
Yes, exactly. All my previous watches were much smaller and lighter than the Apple watch. And I've been wearing the Apple watch now for two months, and I still feel it's heavy. I like it enough that I'm willing to live with it, though.
Maybe you need to hit the gym. My 100lb. wife has no problems.
Does anyone shave their arms because the hair on them is extremely heavy? Even for causal activities it's too heavy. Anyone else have this problem?
My 42mm Sport is much lighter than the watch I've been primarily wearing for the last 8 years. I'm going to have to get used to it in that regard.
Tried that but instead I felt my blood flow kind of being held up.
Have been doing just that for the last eleven months. I haven't worn a watch in sometime and the fitness tracker that I wore weighted less than 6 g. I known next time I have a genuine concern about the watch to spare me all this absurd comments that I have received from some forum members here and go someplace else. Seriously grow up folks.

+1 - This can be a pretty hostile forum at times. One of the worst I have seen.
It makes no sense to call the Watch extremely heavy just because your fitness tracker weighs less than 6g. You need to compare apples to apples.
What exactly have you been doing in that 11 months?
Same. I often just tighten my Apple Watch around my hand and hold it in a fist-type motion whilst I curl it.
I go for 6-8 reps and sometimes I chuck on the link bracelet and can do 4 reps as long as I've eaten well/taken a good pre-workout.
EDIT: Just yesterday I did a well formed 'clean-jerk' with the link band. I may have pulled my lower abdominals however so will be switching back to the Sports band whilst I recover.
You may have gotten better responses if you didn't use the word "extremely" and had some context in your original post. An elephant is extremely heavy, but not when you compare it to a cruise ship.
Being heavier than your fitness tracker is one thing, being "extremely" heavy is another.
It's curious that someone would even say this. How ridiculous. Maybe "A bit on the heavy side". Or "I don't like the weight", would be better.
Extremely heavy
Of course this is normal here.

If you keep wearing it, you will soon adapt to the extra weight.
Even a very much heavier watch soon becomes unnoticeable in everyday use.
I switched my old watch to my other wrist and was astonished at how heavy and unwieldy it felt. Put it back on the original wrist and it feels as if it isn't even there.
Hopefully you will get used to it soon. It would be missed if you decided not to keep it. It is nice hardware.
Sorry,I just can't stop laughing at this thread. I do feel a little guilty since you do have genuine concern
