The weather is turning hot here in Austin and I’ve been wanting something that is a bit more breathable than the sport band (even the Nike version) to go with my SBSS. So, I grabbed an Alaskan Blue sport loop in the recent Best Buy sale. I have always avoided the sport loops because I felt the flexibility of the band and the asymmetry created by the loop folding over made them look a little “sloppy”. But, my wife keeps talking about how comfortable her’s is. So, I decided to give one a try. Absolutely love the colors, which really compliment the Solar Dial face (one of my favorites). Still don’t love the loop style, but it definitely is the most comfortable band I have ever owned. This will probably become my go-to for the rest of quarantine and around the house afterward.
Also found an unopened black woven nylon on ebay for $15. Really surprised by how much I like this band! It’s not quite as comfortable as the sport loop. But, it’s close and I like the traditional look better. Might even wear this one to work on casual Fridays whenever I get to go back into my office. It makes me a bit sad Apple abandoned this style in favor of the sport loop. Already looking for a good deal on a Tahoe Blue now!
