Which band for the SE?

[thimplicity]

Hi everyone,
I am about to order the new Watch SE. I am still undecided about the bands though. I really like the braided band, but I read it is not great for working out and starts to smell. At the same time I have read it is the most comfortable band. I just found out that the leather band is the same price, but this would mean I have to change bands when working out or swimming.

This would only leave the solo band, which I read might be sweaty.

What are your experiences with the braided band and working out?

Thanks!

My recommendation would be the Sport Loop as that is all I use and it is super comfortable and fine for working out & swimming. I occasionally wash mine in warm soapy water and don't have any issues with smells.

I do have a 3rd party leather band that I put on for more formal occasions (we're talking weddings, funerals etc...) but otherwise I use the sport loop all the time.

I have the sports loop. It gets a bit sweaty in a hard workout, but just needs a quick wipe now and again.

I have to echo the current noise regarding the Sport Loop. Of all the bands I've worn it is by far the most comfortable.

If you are only going to have one band, sport loop is the choice. If you can have two, I’d go one Nike sport band for working out, swimming, etc and something that looks a little nicer (leather, metal) for everyday wear.
