Progress.
I have ordered some jewelry lube. I noticed right away with this watch that band weren’t as smooth in and out as usual. But this is extreme.

probably just going to have to yank it out at that point... has this ever happened with a woven nylon before on this watch? maybe contact chargerstore see if they have a replacement or can do something?

I’ve only had it a couple weeks. I did notice that with nylons or Milanese, it was a bit tight and thought about getting jewelry lube before because years ago that helped a lot with sticking on some non OEM bands on an earlier watch. Are stainless steel models like this, compared to aluminum? This is my first stainless.

I "only" have like a dozen or so bands, but I notice the only ones I ever really wear are the Nike Sport Loops because they are comfortable and convenient.

I'd like to get the Myer Lemon Leather Loop because it looks really nice on the SBSS (which is what I have), but I just don't think I'd ever wear it (I have the original Black LL, Forest Green LL and White LL and I never wear them).

Only ever had a (silver) stainless steel since launch day, through 0 to 3 and now 4. Never had any problem like this with an OEM band. Have had some non-OEMs that required some.... persuasion.

I'd actually had some trouble with the new Nike Pride band where I had to really force it to slide in when I first got it. Like I was literally afraid I would break something. But then after wearing it for a bit I guess it squished to fit better, and now it slides in & out a bit easier, though it still takes some effort.
