Milanese loop magnet not strong enough

whatos said:
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.

I also like how you are trying convince everyone you have it and there are many of us who ordered it before you according to your own posts. Of course none of your posts have the same exact time. Please just give it up.
 
Not my experience at all, but I have a very small wrist so my band is wrapped around almost completely back to the other side. I went running this morning and with a little tightening, it didn't budge and the HR monitor worked without a hitch.
 
Having the same issue with mine, I keep having to pull it tight throughout the day. I wonder if it's an isolated issue with some weak magnets, it'd be a shame if it's normal because the strap is fantastic looking.

In this post he says he bought it for his brother but his brother realized he couldn't afford it. A few posts past he says his brother bought another watch combo but when he saw his link the brother bought a link as well. Very confusing dude#

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 :)

I've occasionally had the same issue where the 'end piece' grabbed itself and I had to pick it apart. That's what you get with strong magnets. :)

Didn't you see the retraction by the thread starter? He said he made a mistake and wasn't fastening it correctly. You are now the only one in this thread that thinks they have a problem with this band. Please make sure you removed the plastic covering from the magnet clasp and that you are fastening it correctly.

If you find you made a mistake as well, perhaps this thread should be deleted, because it presumes there is a problem that don't exist.

It's nothing new that liars can't keep track of their lies.
 
I have to adjust mine often too. The magnet will slide along the band if you flex your wrist or bend it when the watch it too close to your hand.
I was planning to swap mine for a leather loop and this clinched it.
 
Those who find the Milanese loop nice and snug, do you guys wear it high or low on the wrist ?
 
Yeah... I love the look of the milanese loop, but it also seems to loosen over time for me. Although the magnet seems pretty strong, it feels like the relative lack of friction allows it to slide along the band if I flex my wrist. I also was thinking about swapping it for a leather loop as I thought the friction of the leather might be enough to hold it more definitively in place. However, given that nobody has received their leather loop I've been hesitant to look into changing it out right now.

I find myself unconsciously readjusting the magnet every so often to get a tighter fit.

My favorite claim is that the $1000 SS link that he is "in possession of" costs less than 1% of one of his watches. Wondering why if he is rocking $100,000 watches he didn't just go for the edition?

Well that doesn't really matter, i guess a lot of people could afford the edition watch here but choose not to :p either way he can just upload a picture of the watch on the street to prove he got it.

I think not even the boutiques that started selling the watch on the 24th had any link bracelets available.
 
Mine is strong, however day 4 in and doing outdoor Bootcamp this morning (first time with the AW) I had to tighten it about 5-6 times over an hour.. BUT, it was fairly up/down intensive exercise. Will get a sport band at some stage. Have had no issues during gym/cardio sessions.
