I’m about two weeks in and I’ve been wearing it exclusively. I wear mine to bed as well, all good. Most comfortable band I’ve ever had!
Got a tip for us?

One other thing I’d like to point out, I do believe it has in the slightest bit loosened up on me. Not much, it’s still tight enough to not slide up and down my wrist but i think it definitely got a tiny bit bigger.
I started using a sport loop but maybe I need to just break it in

I recently got a red braided solo loop, is anybody else occasionaly feeling a slight itch around the band?
I originally sized myself for an 8 and when it arrived, it fit but it was a bit tight, where wearing it all day would leave a slight mark on my wrist. Nothing crazy but just a hair too tight. I ended up exchanging it one size up and now I wonder if it might be too loose! I mean it's not flopping around my wrist or anything but I can put a finger in the band pretty easily.
I guess I am between sizes 8-9. Anyone else have a similar issue? And did you decide to go too tight or too loose?

No mine is perfectly comfortable. Also i have very sensitive skin, but the braided loop is great for me.
No irritation, but yes slight marks on a size 3. I did try size 4 but that felt a bit loose. Lmao need a braided sport loop
I'm between a 7-8, but I've been wearing a size 7 for about a month. I would say it has become slightly looser since I first got it. I also don't push it too far out where it gets too tight the way I used to when I first got it.

I was between an 8 and 9 but went for the 7 and it feels definitely better than the first day. It could also be that I just got use to it though.

Well for one I didn’t want it to be to loose and second I stumbled upon a local person selling theirs and it happen to be a 7.
Returned my white solo loop in size 3 and got the red braided in size 4. My green braided is a size 3.
Breathability as it turns out is a non negotiable criteria for me, braided is the best for it but I had to buy a size bigger if I want to sleep in it. Have to see if it’ll still leave marks.

I did the first several times I wore and now I don’t get the itch anymore.

Not too tight and not too loose

Reviving a year old thread cos I just got two new solo loops! The Cyprus green i had last year had a small tear a week after I got it and I was worried about durability so I returned it.
Here are the northern blue and clover solo loops.
Don’t know why but they seem tighter than the Cyprus green I got last year even though they’re the same size. I can feel mild pressure from the sensor on the back.
For those who’ve had the solo loops for a while now, do they stretch out at all or do they more or less retain their size (unlike the braided solo loops which stretch)?

I've had my bands since they originally launched and there is no stretch for me.
Mine stretched out some in the first several weeks. It was too tight at first but now fits great. I did one size under what the measuring tool advised. Occasionally it feels slightly loose, but if I don't wear it for several days it seems to shrink slightly.
Is there anyplace to get the old Solo Loop colors? My Apple store acted like a nearby store had a black one in stock but when I called, they acted like I was crazy.
