Got my Apple Watch with the Milanese loop today and it's awesome. My only complaint is that the Milanese loop magnet isn't strong enough, seems I have to tighten the band every few minutes and if I move the arm too quickly it opens fully. Anyone else having the same issue?
Got a tip for us?

Milanese loop magnet not strong enough

My brothers is that way as well. I tried to convince him to play it safe and get the 42/SS/LINK like mine. But he was stubborn, now that he's tried mine on he just ordered one for himself.
Is the loop over too short such that there's not enough magnet for attaching? What's your wrist size?
This was my concern as well. My trial at the Apple Store suggested to me I'd dislodge or loosen the magnet my putting my hand/wrist in my jeans pocket.
I decided on the link bracelet but didn't want to pay all up front (nor wait the extra ship time), so I bought the classic buckle and will order a link bracelet in a month or two.
My wrist size is 170mm

Doh, user error. When I took it out of the box the magnet piece was folded over itself and I thought it was supposed to be that way. When I flipped to over and fully extended the band it now works great. Feel kinda stupid

My loop has stayed snug all day and hasn't budged. Very snug on my wrist. I've done the jeans pocket test, driven and ate dinner and it's still snug.
And he gave me some huge explanation in another thread about how he ordered it. Can't believe people are so petty and pathetic.
At its tightest point I can't even flex my wrist to loosen the grip of the magnet on my watch. is your wrist really big?
How did you manage to get hold of a SS Link? The only people I've heard that have them are bloggers, journalists, etc. Was yours gifted to you by Apple. Or is it a privately purchased production model?
All I did was order it for my brother cause he didn't have room on his credit card. Initially I had no interest.
Then two things happened. I was convinced of the watches appeal by a forum member. Three days later my brother realized he could not afford it, so that made my decision easy.

They are beautiful indeed...Mine is strong, won't move, won't open. Perfect. And gorgeous
I haven't had this issue with mine. I even used it to exercise this morning as I don't yet have my sports band.
