IMHO, the loops not only look way better than the links but also give me a safer feeling wearing them, they simply hold the watch better.

True. I do prefer the leather Link over Leather Loop in my opinion. I like the depth to it vs the flatter leather loop. I also prefer the leather on the Links vs Loops. One more thing my OCD drives me nuts of the exposed silver stainless steel where the band loops on the LeLoop paired with a dark watch.

Agreed, I bought the leather link in California poppy last year and I hardly wore it and when I did it was a bear trying to that thing on and tighten it to my liking.

Leather loop for life for me!
 
Switched it up to the silver iPhone...compliments the silver SS AW lovely of course 🔥

I love it. It’s swift leather so it’s extremely soft on the skin. It molds nicely around my wrist. It took me two days to get used to wrapping a band twice, but once I get the hang of it, it becomes automatic.

The Rouge H is beautiful, I love how this band can look both rock and lux at the same time.

Thanks for the reply.
 
My launch batch Cali Poppy had some little black specks that I could live with, so there’s definitely some non-uniformity to the finishing process that probably wasn’t there with the Loops, but you should definitely swap that out.

Hopefully they don’t give you grief! Tell ‘em the forum sent ya!
Have a new band now and it doesnt feel like the same band. 100% happy now :)
 
So how's the experience been with the new Midnight watch after years of stainless?

I still love SS and haven’t checked out of that particular finish but at the moment I’m pleased with Midnight. Its almost matte black finish satisfies and dresses up easily for an aluminum finish. I prefer it over the lackluster Space Gray (just my opinion). I’m impressed with the quality of the new screen. I used to hate how thin and plasticky the Ion-x screen felt, they’ve really improved it for sure. Having Sapphire Crystal standards it doesn’t disappoint. Also the Nike edition is a no brainer especially if you wear/collect the Nike Sport Bands/Loops.

The S7 Aluminium is Ion-X.
 
Thanks. I misinterpreted your "Sapphire Crystal standards" comment. It's not Sapphire Crystal, but you obviously understand that. :)

I'm curious to try the same model, but that hint of blue is making me hesitate. I can't unsee it lol

it’s not as bad as you might think IRL. I would say it’s 95% black and 5% navy consider it a bit of character. It’s a really nice finish but I hear you I wouldn’t mind 100% matte black either lol
