Hi there,

I just bought a Series 6 from Apple (my first Apple Watch) and I'm very happy with its performance. I have just one slight worry. The longer of the two straps has some slight lateral movement when I wiggle it from side to side. The shorter band doesn't.

I've only had the watch three weeks and only yesterday noticed this. It does click into place okay and will not slide out unless the watch band button is pressed. I guess I'm just worried about nothing.

Please can any other watch users of any generation let me know what they think. Is this any cause for concern?

I know it's a first-world problem but I would really appreciate any replies.

My bands have very slight lateral movement play in my S5. If you think about it, there needs to be a small amount of play to ensure the lug clicks into place and does not stick. It is not enough to be visually obvious.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "slight." Maybe a photo will help
