I'm returning my Milanese Loop

[Apples n' Stone]

They charge you the full price of the link bracelet, then refund your credit card once you return the other.

Discovered this in the band swap thread, however I am ineligible because I was a launch day owner -.-

I think part of the issue is that people need to use the right band for the right situation. Apple made it easy to swap bands... so why use the ML when working out or playing golf?

Personally, I have both black and blue Sport bands to go with my SS. I'm planning on picking up a ML as soon as I get back from this trip.

I already trade put the black and blue sport bands everyday depending on what looks good... I plan on adding the ML into the mix to wear when I need something "fancier". I would never wear it to the gym...

But after a month of using it, I can't stand how many times I have to tighten it a day. At least 30-40. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thoughts?

This. I was adjusting it all the time, even before the summer hit here in Chicagoland. I'd be probably be adjusting it constantly once the weather gets hot and I'm outdoors a lot more, exercising and etc. And there's that magnet which makes it a pain to take off, put on the charger, and put on again.

I'd look for them to redesign the clasp on the Milanese next year or just scrap it.

I doubt they will get rid of it. They made a point of NOT using a traditional mesh band clasp. I switch back and forth between the Classic Band, Milanese Loop, and Link Band, mostly the former two. I adjust it during the day, but only because I can get an "exact" fit that the other bands don't provide. It's intended as a dressier band, rather than one to use while active.

Only had my Milanese Loop since Wednesday, but so far it's holding up well. Have not noticed any issues with perspiration, even in 90*F / 30*C weather or when using the exercise bike. I did order a black Leather Loop which arrives today to see how it feels (some say they preferred it to the ML).
