[POLL] - Solo Loop vs Sport Band - which do you prefer?

[Arcontia]

Appears that Solo Loop is a newer take on the Sport Band, it's been out for a short while now.

Do you all prefer the new Solo Loop or the trusty old Sport Band?

The Solo Loop sounds incredibly comfortable, but with the sizing issues and the less-durable material, I’ll probably stick with the Sport Band for now (especially since my watch isn’t technically compatible with the Solo Loop 🤣)

Mmm, I likewise also prefer the Sport Band. While I praise the concept of a perfect fit, I still prefer the Sport Band for being able to adjust the fit as you see needed.

If you know your size, the Solo Loop is way more comfortable.

Solo Loop, no contest. I decided that the only way I was going to find the right fit, was to go try them on at the Apple Store. The measuring tool is useless, in my opinion - you really have to try them on to find your size.

I love how Solo Loop fits nice and snug and doesn't get in the way. The ideal band for exercise and swimming.

Sport band between the two but prefer the sport loop.

I voted for the Sport Band, because I can't wear the Solo Loop as much as I'd like. I have very sensitive skin, and I have to rotate away from wearing the Solo Loop every few days or else my skin gets visibly irritated.

I wear a size 7 Solo Loop, and the fit seems fine. The Solo Loop design is sleeker than the Sport Band, but it also isn't all that breathable.

I simply can't do silicone. The loop has been a godsend.

Loop is amazing. Now that new colors have launched, i will be adding a few more to the collection. Here i thought i could have just two or three bands...ugh.

Solo Loop. Just purchased as I am returning to clinical veterinary work and wanted a band that would be easily cleaned and not catch on anything. It hasn’t disappointed. It is so comfortable! I determined my size using the measuring tool and also popped into my local Apple store a while ago before lockdown and confirmed the correct size, which is a 4.

Poll results are quite close at the moment! Interesting and nice to see its sitting at roughly 50-50. I think what I'm curious to see is if the Solo Loop stands the test of time as well as the Sport Band

I've been a fan of the Sport Band since I got my first AW. They've always been comfortable for me to wear and I like that I can adjust them. That said, I ordered a Solo Loop and it fits perfectly. Really comfortable and I'm enjoying not having the bulk under my wrist. I cast my vote for the Sport Band since I have a bunch of them and it's the OG between the two. Still really, really liking the Solo Loop and definitely recommend trying one. Sizing issues aside, Apple hit a home run with these as far as I'm concerned. Next to last hole on the M/L Sport Loop and an 11 is a great fit for me.
