I have average hairy arms, and I tried on the Milanese for the hell of it this morning. It looked nice and felt nice to the touch, but the moment I put it on my wrist, it was pulling and pinching hairs left and right. To give you an idea of how hairy my wrists are...
Your arms don't look hairy, mine are much hairier and I found the Milanese to be great with no pulling.
Seriously though there will eventually be a lot of threads in the coming months saying the Milanese won't stop pulling my arm hair. If it happened to me, it will happen to others.
A few reviews from different tech sites agree with you. They said the mesh was so fine it felt like fabric and did not grab at hairs.
Felt great here! I attached and removed the watch a handful of times. Tightening the watch causes the band to slide directly against my skin. Not ONCE did I feel any discomfort. It was actually smooth as could be and extremely impressive.
lol My Rolex link took a lot of arm hair with it. Did not hurt. I just had to use tweezers occasionally to remove them.
I had the opposite experience. I was at the store today and noted how smoothly it slid over my hair. I didn't have any banana or foreign matter on my wrist at the time either. Felt great.
I suspect you have unique hair, because the loop felt great on my hairy arms. Tried it many times. I think we need to figure out what is unique about your hair that fortunately doesn't affect 99% of hairy arms. Could you submit a hair sample for analysis?
It pulled on my hairs... I'm not sure if it was because my hairs were in between the band. It 100% pulled on my hairs. I loved the look, and it may have been me rushing, but it did, and it hurt.
This will be very much a YMMV sort of thing, but it's certainly a possibility, and an excellent reason to go to a try-on appointment.
That's surprising. It seemed great to me but I'm not quite that hairy and it's not as thick I feel like. It's definitely something I was curious abought though so would make sense to try it on in store.
My arm looks exactly like his. It didn't pull, but I had it on for a minute. If it happened to some, it will eventually happen to all. This was my concern. Mil is off the list.
Idk if the Apple band will be much different but I have a Milanese band on My Tissot and it doesn't pull hairs at all. Neither do solid link bracelets. Only bracelets I have ever had pull hair are folded link bracelets like you would find on cheap watches.
Ha! I would if I could. I like body hair ---------- And I'm glad I'm not the only one who experienced this. It frickin hurt!!
