Those Nomad bands look cool. Since this has a magnet, I guess the compass wouldn’t work with it which is a shame.
Got a tip for us?

FWIW, I’ve had this band type from Nomad for a year or so and Compass works fine.
It doesn’t seem to work properly on my Milanese. Perhaps it’s because the location and strength of the Magnet. Good to know, because I do like using the compass. I’m more interested in their rubber sport bands anyhow - those look cooler that the apple equivalent to my eyes.
Confirmed - you're the worlds biggest Apple Watch fan.
Good band but the Velcro weakens overtime.I love dark neutral tones, Tornado/Gray is that one from this season’s of Loops that fits the bill.
Never happened in my experience and I have a full collection of Sport Loops and been collecting for a while now.
That combo makes me cringe. Just be real careful with that Milanese not getting in contact with your watch speaking from experience from a couple watches ago and I swore off that band lol but looks great!
Fake news! When you switch between a bunch of watches or just have one reboot itself like this one did (my 40mm just have rampant gas gauge reboots), it cycles in old message numbers. Even in normal scenarios that complication will populate messages I send! Or like it will just never clear messages from this one group chat I have.Those messages though!
Tim, it’s broken, bb.
I have been using the nike sport loop only for 18 months, got a new tornado and velcro is twice as strong. If you are swapping bands all the time might be why.
Mine either. One of my loops is used solely for workouts and the Velcro is just as strong as the first time I wore it.
I enjoyed the gold Milanese loop with my S4 in gold with no issues. I also had a cheap Amazon black Milanese loop for years and finally decided to pull the trigger on the real thing. I love the combo.

Nah I’m sure there are others who are bigger nerds…
But I definitely have a soft spot for the Apple Watch… 🤪
I finally caved in and bought one. 🙉
My daily driver Nike reflective (use it 4-5 days a week since last April) definitely wore out to a slightly weaker hold in less than a month but stopped getting worse and still holds strong to this day.
Got a red 3rd gen sport band to go with gold
(And yes… California watch face)

I get what you mean! I once placed my S4 Alu watch with Milanese Loop in my pocket. There goes the screen haha.
Still stuck on that Sunset loop 🔥
