Does anyone work out in the Milanese?

Anyone used it while playing tennis? Does it come loose? As much as possible I don't want to have switch bands so as not to wear out the pins.

I play racquetball and it definitely loosens up a bit. Went for a run today and that was fine and even then it still loosens a bit.

Thank you @zaneliu94! Decided against wearing mine while playing tennis earlier and used my Sport instead.

Originally I intended to get a SB to go with my ML but now that I've had it a week I'm almost positive I won't even bother. The ML really is a one band to rule them all. The infinite adjustability is killer for working out, you can make it as tight as needed even if you have to move it up your wrist to get a good pulse lock (I have to pull it up above where I normally wear it).

Ok, a mere few hours later I've changed my mind about above. It has been fine for daily use and running for the last 8 days. However today I went Mt Biking and even though the band didn't loosen up, the combination of the downward angle of my arm and the bumps (no suspension on my Bike) kept causing the watch to slide down my arm. It wasn't a huge deal except that each time it did, the heart rate lost lock.

I've now ordered a SB. I am however still very happy with the ML. I haven't had problems with pulled hair or it being uncomfortable and I think it looks really good regardless if I'm dressed casual or formal.

You may want to add a sport band to your collection. The nice thing about the sport band is that you can wear it snug enough to get an accurate heart rate reading while working out. I wear mine one notch tighter while running than I do throughout the rest of the day and it's been working great.

I agree. I have the Milanese but ended up ordering a sports band for working out. The Milanese is a pain to clean after each workout.

Really? I haven't had any issues with sweat or dirt.
Even still I have a WSB on order

Mine doesn't show any dirt...I just can't imagine it's good to have the sweat drying between the holes in the milanese loop...more of an OCD thing I guess
