Twelve South Debuts ActionBand for Apple Watch Workouts

[Kierkegaarden]

I've always found sweat wrist bands impractical. The last thing I need when I'm already hot is a warm wrist band to make me even hotter.

I don’t have that problem, because I can’t be any hotter when I workout. ?

How horrifically unhygienic.

Nike Sport Band is vastly superior.

I can shower off any sweat and it's dry in minutes.

Twelve South, the kings of useless and overpriced Apple accessories.

I don't even mind paying for decent, but overpriced products.

But Twelve South design utter tat.

I’ll just wait for the rumoured “Watch Series 8: Active”

it's not bad. being as big as it is, makes you wish it could measure blood pressure too.

Anesthesiologist here. This is going to make me be able to finally wear the watch under my scrubs (above my ankle).

Perfect spot for checking the time.

Just like my $1 bands People use for running / basketball / other since the 70’s

People wash them after each use.

Better than sweat dripping down your face because you have nothing to wipe your forehead with, isn’t it? Unless you’re one of these insanely fit people that can run without sweating lol

 

[kklaus]

What are these for? Wiping sweat from your face or stopping sweat from dripping from your forearm to your hand?

I use a sweat band on my left arm over my Apple Watch when playing basketball. It’s a quick way to keep my shooting hand dry.

You looking to track steps? The watch will be of limited use in that area.

Great for tennis!

 

[TVreporter]

My arm is sweating as I try to picture myself wearing that band... no thanks.

 

[SFjohn]

I don't mind the design.

But I just don't see why you couldn't wear a sweatband next to your Apple Watch, or two slim ones, one on each side of your Watch?

$29.99 is a lot for a sweat band.

Two sweatbands, you get 1 that the watch fits into, and a matching band got your other arm. (If you have two that is, apologies to those with less or more.)

 

[GadgetVirtuoso]

Quick search on Amazon shows another company already sells a reasonable cheaper solution already.

 

[darngooddesign]

I am sure it will smell great after a couple weeks.

I mean... you do wash your clothes right?

 

[DekuBleep]

Looks nice. I have an S7 and I also wear a solo loop band when I work out.

The problem with the watch I have when lifting weights. Sudden peaks in HR aren't caught by the watch. Often I am done with the set and the watch still tries to figure out what the HR is. So the calories burnt thing isn't very accurate in my opinion.

 

[Da_Hood]

It's not sweat free. It is made of cotton. It is going to absorb sweat and any other moisture. A sport loop is much better. This is a solution looking for a problem.

Not if you are one of the many allergic to the sport loops.

As a drummer I will buy many of these. Sports loop is in no way useable for sport, once sweated up it feels annoying to the point that I refuse to wear my watch in those situations.

It will? I thought it worked on the ankle too. I just want to track steps, heart rate, and saturation.

 

[svish]

Good for workouts as it absorbs sweat

 

[roland.g]

To all the haters here, go away. Ridiculous comments from the peanut gallery.

Mostly I'm surprised it took this long for a product like this to hit the market.

I don't think Apple will approve... this guys are selling 1/4 of fabric for 50% more than a Polishing Cloth!
