How to Measure Your Wrist for Apple Watch Solo Loop Bands

I don't like the solo loop already. I doubt I would get one. Sometimes I want a more snug fit during a workout. Sometimes I want a really loose one when I'm tired of having a watch on my wrist. Other times I'm just ok with a little snug, other times I'm ok with a little loose.
Because that’s how Apple apologists roll. There’s a reason Apple users were by in large considered to be stuck up for a long time, and to some extent still are. That reason is folks like that you mentioned.
Right? Editor/Author of Macrumors for 2020 in this article!!
The breadth of detail and time spent herein should make Apple embarrassed. These bands (the non plastic junk) looks really nice but who on earth designed them? what material could not be used to keep the normal tension for a few years?
I decided to cancel my braided band order not scheduled to ship until mid-November anyway.
Re-ordered two sizes smaller and still getting it at the same time.
May swing by the Apple store today to see what can be done about the solo band.
And I totally get people making fun of the fact that there even needs to be an article about this, but man, I measured two different ways...very tight in my wrist since I wear my Apple Watch tight...got a size 9...it’s loose.
So, whatevs...I’m sure all of you making comments didn’t even buy one.
It’s not about following instructions, it’s about Apple sending bands that are too big based on the sizes suggested by them.

As thick as the Solo bands are, I think it will take a good bit of time before one looses its elasticity to the point where it affects the watch staying on the wrist properly.

I predict that this will go down in history as one of Apple’s biggest blunders....
Apple is so stupid. They should have used only the "Sport Band" approach. So simple. So accurate. That was discovered by members not pushed by Apple.

Then perhaps your band is not authentic? What I did is clasp the band together at my notch. The I laid this whole band on the paper tool. I have to believe all of the Apple Bands of a certain type are consistent. But bands not from Apple or Nike could be an issue.

In a nutshell: This watch band is a dumb idea, do not buy it.
Wouldn't consider this watch band for a second.
Why would anyone buy one of these when adjustable bands exist? Wrist sizes change.
Why would anyone buy a sport loop or sports band? If a person’s wrist size dramatically changes in a short amount of time, said person has a lot more to be concerned about that the fit of a watch band. And if that occurs, said person can get a different band to fit the current need. It’s not a big deal.
A lot of people in this world think differently than you. It doesn’t make them wrong.
Umm.. It wasn’t his band that he was showing that didn‘t line up. That was the band from the first post, I noticed instantly that they were lined up ”exactly“ as was stated.
