I got the solo loop for the watch, and while it’s comfortable during the day it does not breath at all and wrist gets sweaty during the day/night. I think I’ll keep this band for swimming/working out but need something more comfortable/breathable for everyday/sleeping.

Any suggestions for long time watch users that sleep with it?
 
I second the suggestion for sport loop. It is very comfortable. You can also go with a Nike sport band, which has a lot of holes built in, that help with skin breathing etc.

If your wrist is getting sweaty during sleep, the temperature in your room is probably too warm. You shouldn’t be sweating during sleep. That is not normal.
You’re confusing the sport band and the sport loop. The sport loop is the fabric/velcro band vs the silicone of the sport band.

I’d love to use a sport loop but I just can’t stomach how it doesn’t flare out as it connects to the watch.
 
I got the braided solo loop and I'm really liking it. By far the most comfortable band I've used. I ran a 12k today and where the sport loop would get sweaty and gross the braided loop breathes really well. And it was comfortable wearing it to sleep.

Nike to me is the best with the holes. I also wear my watch on my right wrist when sleeping and left during day.

Yea I tried the braided loop in store today and it’s even more comfortable that the solo loop. Might just get the braided for everyday/sleeping and keep the solo loop for water stuff /exercise

leather will be more breathable than silicone.

Sport Loop gets my vote

I take naps with the Link Bracelet and always forget I wear it.

I second this. I love my Apple link bracelet. I’ve had it since June of 2015, I got it about a month and a half after I got my launch day series 0 watch. I have literally worn it all day every day for the last 5+ years, with every Apple Watch I have owned. I wear it swimming and in the shower and doing yard work and other work around the house. And since I got my S6 watch I’ve started wearing it to bed at night as well.

It’s held up really amazingly well and is very comfortable.

I have tried all the bands and the Nike by far is the most comfortable and breathable for my wrists. I forget I even have my watch on and the great number of holes allow for even finer fitment of the strap for wrists of all sizes!
