Woven Nylon? Decent? What's the story?

I Guess Apple doesn't make these anymore, they're not on the site?

Does anyone love these? I don't hear much about them compared to the Sport Bands and Sport Loops.

They seem like they might be more sturdy/less soft than the Sport Loops BUT less comfortable since you can't adjust them exactly how you want, you're at the mercy of the holes.

These are great bands. Very durable, lightweight and far more breathable over the Flueroastamer bands. The only drawback, is if they do become wet, you do want to allow them to dry thoroughly, as they seem to retain moisture, which can be problematic for mildew.

They are fantastic. Very light, breathable and way more elegant than the nylon Sport Loops. Especially on the Series 4 as the (relative) flatness of the Watch goes really well with the thin Woven Nylon straps. Also, the original Woven Nylons have a nice shine/glow to them in bright light; the later (striped / checked etc.) versions less so. In any case I hope they‘ll return!

I just wish the black one I have fit me better. I am between holes on it, annoying.

I've got a few of them. I like the consistency of them, they're a little more rigid than the Sport loops. I also very much like the designs they had with them, they're different and I wish they were still making them. As others have noted, they will retain moisture. My wrist is 8.25 and I'm down to the last couple of holes on them which works but I do wish they were a bit longer.

The other drawback of them which I've come to appreciate with the loops is the buckle is under wrist, so when you're working on a computer or at a desk they are a little less comfortable. I wouldn't let this deter me however, if you like one of the patterns.

Interesting, you have me intrigued with this "shine/glow"...Some of the striped & check ones look cool too tho, and there are some colors that aren't in other bands (berry, scuba blue, gold).

(The thin stripe ones look a little bleh).

Got it! They're like a leather band, you don't want to get em wet.

I may just have to splurge on the $12 to try one out!

Anyone got any pics?
