I have a new replacement s3 and brand new sport band, the band wiggles ever so slightly in the sockets on the watch.

Just wondering if this is an issue or not.

The bands lock into place fine, there’s just a bit of up and down wiggle.

S3 Ceramic and S4 SBSS - band dependent
With that, I never noticed it being an issue while on my wrist

When i say wiggle I mean up and down, so when holding the watch off wrist the bands wobble up and down in the slots not side to side?

Plastic lugged bands nothing noticable
stainless steel lugged band yes, especially on the ceramic body

Ok thanks, so you have the sports band? How’s that one fit?

Looking back the bands released between series 2 and 3 had some fit issues. There is a thread from way back on this.
Lately since the series 4, I really haven’t noticed any slop in the fit.
I’ve handled well over a 100 watches and the 5 at home and the newer bands are all snug. Unless of course they are inserted upside down.

Ok my series 3 must be faulty then as the band wobbles In the slot a bit up and down, my last s3 had screen issues, maybe another replacement?

The band I have for my s3 is a new one has it has 44mm printed on it, so this should fit snug ?
