No on the sport band I'm right on the middle one.

Congrats to you today then on your new watch as well!

So what's the trick with getting the sport band on and off my wrist easier?

So what's the trick with getting the sport band on and off my wrist easier?

Use one hand to place and hold the watch on your wrist, while you use the forefinger from the other hand (with finger in the tuck away hole) to gently pull the band towards the other half of the loop with the sizing holes. To remove, gently pull up the top part of the band where it is connected to the steel ball connector.

I'm trying to wrap my head around what this looks like. I'm right handed so putting it in my left wrist. Your telling me to use my right hand to place and hold the watch on my left wrist while using the forefinger from my left hand to pull the band towards the other half of the loop. That's not physically possible. What am I not visualizing right here?

Here is a video to help you. You are overthinking this is why you are struggling.

Oh man this makes so much more sense. You were right I was totally over thinking it. This method works perfect, thank you! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Good grief.

Just balance the watch on your wrist; take you other hand and use its fingers to grab both ends of the sport band together on the underside of the watch hand. Not too hard

That’s the way I have done it from the start. Seems so natural to me.

If you would have read above you would see that I indeed figured it out with the help of the posted video. No need to get sassy with the "good griefs". I'm a stroke survivor and sometimes things are more difficult for me at times. I'm sorry this doesn't fit into your perfect little world.

While I’m putting my watch on, I hold it over a forgiving surface such as the bed in case I drop it
