I found an old thread on this from around 2015 or 2016, but I what is the opinion these days?
Is the Milanese Loop good for Walking, Running and Elliptical?
I've been using the Sport Loop since 2015, but I'd like to have something more elegant. On the other side, it needs to be precisely adjustable and it shouldn't slip during exercise. And I don't like changing watchbands.
So the Milanese Loop would be the only alternative, but I am not sure...

Thanks a lot!

It’s personal preference. Obviously you can run with that band.

Try it and see if you like it. There is a market for stainless steel sport watches.

Thank you so much for chiming in with your opinions!
Today, I had the chance to try on an Apple Watch with the Milanese Loop.
I think, I'll go for it, when I order my new Apple Watch in the fall.
For my sports purposes it should be a sufficient fit.

No. I tried wearing my Milanese loop full time. My warehouse job requires a lot of arm movement. The watchband will loosen itself overtime and I’d have to keep re-tightening it. I wouldn’t use it for exercise at all.

Running 3x a week, about 8km per run using a Milanese loop. No issues whatsoever
