Thanks for the great review. I really like the look of the braided but I have to say $99 is absolutley ridiculous.

From what I’ve seen, if you’re in between two sizes, go with the smaller size. The band will stretch out over time to the perfect fit, where as the bigger size will always stay slightly too big for your wrist.

Agreed. Going Solo loop for daily then will purchase a leather down the line.
Is it applicable with Series 5?
Hi AppleInsider, may I check with you, how it is like when charging the Apple Watch (with solo loop), does it have to be laid on its side since it can’t extend out flat? Appreciate your response, thank u
Does the Nike vapor green strap glow in the dark?
Could we have a fit test follow-up? The difference between the perfect 7 and the slightly loose 8. Should we just size down for a snug fit? But will it be too snug?
Very nice review. Which video gear do you use, because the link is broken 😅
Thanks.
Can you do a video comparing all the gold Apple Watches?
Are these bands suitable for Apple Watch series 3 38mm?
Braided loop is the best band Apple has made. Very nice
So if the line is between 5 | 6, do I get a size 5 or size down to 4 with the Solo Loop? I want it to fit snug and not loose, but not too tight where it leaves marks.
Good to see you measured the right way and the band was a good size. I think a lot of people are measuring wrong.
Where did you get the AirPods keychain attachment?
I want that yellow in an 11 Pro case
The intro exit music is pretty cool now.

I pre-ordered my Apple Watch Series 6 before they were released: however, I canceled my order and purchased it from the Apple store. Most importantly, I suggest purchasing the watch from the Apple stores, especially because of the solo and braided solo loop. Initially, during my conversation with the Apple customer service associate and using the measuring tool for my wrist; I was a size 10. HOWEVER, when I visited the store to purchase my watch, I was a size 8. Size 8 was sold out and I wear a size 9, which is comfortable, but a 10 would have been too large. I LOVE MY SERIES 6!!!
Thanks 🙏 for the great video! Hey I have a question it’s about your AirPods where did you get your case for them.. I love ❤️ all Apple Watch ⌚️ bands I just got the dark grey you have on this video the Nike one ☝️
I hope I can just return my braided solo loop band. I ordered the bigger size (was between too) and now I am scared it won't fit 😪 Edit: My mom's didn’t fit. I canceled my order and bought the Milanese loop version. I ordered it through a different site like Best Buy in the US and it will arrive 1 week earlier.
Out stock ready
How breathable is the braided loop compared to the Nike silicon sport band or the Nike sport loop?
Would you recommend the Braided Solo Loop for workouts? And can you wash it?
@Saltytide2424
3 жыл бұрын
you can wash it yes. Also if it stretches you can throw the wet band into a dryer for a few minutes to shrink it back.
Could you post a picture/video of a blue series 6 with the charcoal braided loop on it? If you have the blue series 6 that is? For that matter, since the blue watch may look really good with other colour bands, a great video would be , in sequence to pair the watch with each of the available bands .
Fun Fact: You can the loop silicone ($3) and braided ones ($10) in Aliexpress now
So this is the reason I have to wait so long
Is braided solo loop material silicone? Or nylon??
Even though mine was very big, it was comfortable
The Atlantic Blue braided solo loop looks much brighter in the video than on the Apple website.

It always depends on the light. Here we are in a studio with bright lights on them. They are more dim in low light but can still look rather bright
It would have been nice to show putting on the watch using these bands.
It’s recommended to chose the smaller size if you’re between sizes
How many time you said "solo loop" in this video ? 😀
So they charging us 49-100 dollars for this cool band that is MADE OUT OF SILICONE one of the cheapest materials. Funny

I like the solo loops but, am worried that if you loose weight its going to get to big and then you won’t get. The correct reading on your workouts. I wish they made the braided ones like the sports loop. I’ve already ordered a few of the regular sports loop..Great video
Now THAT is a band
Tested both Loops in the Apple Store. I especially liked the Braided Loop. The measurement tool is utterly useless though. I measured between size 6 and 7, but when I was at the store they told me, to always buy one size smaller then measured. And after trying them on, size 5 actually seemed to be the right size. Even with the measurement tools provided at the Apple store it was impossible to get 5 as an result. So I recommend to everybody to either try out for yourself at a store or to order a size smaller then measured.
Why did you show how to put on vs a buckle or snap band?
I ordered the braided loop. I printed the Apple tool and ensured it was printed out at the correct size by putting my credit card in the area shown. The Apple tool showed my wrist to be 7, so I thought to be safe I will order a 6 & 7 (as I have read some people say about going for a size less than shown). Well the straps arrived and the 7 was way too big and so was the 6. I've returned the straps and I have just ordered size 4 and 5 (size 4 is the smallest size in the 44 mm strap). Hopefully one of these will fit. Apple have put a note on their website that the Solo Loop increases in size over time. But there's no mention of this for the braided loop (probably due to them been different materials). If I was in the market for another silicone band, I would just go with the original one as its not worth the hassle in my opinion having to try and specifically pick the right size, and also when there is a chance of them increasing in size over time.
where's your leather loop review?
Is charging with the loop super annoying?
Wish I could order just the watch without a band as I already own several.

Unfortunately my blue band doesn’t match my blue watch.

I didn't like the Atlantic blue braided strap in person. It is not as dark or deep blue as the aluminum case. The solo loop seems way overpriced but it is comfortable and the fit (using the Apple size chart that I printed out) was spot on.
The braided loop looks nice and comfy but I’m too scared to look up the Australian price 😩

New drinking game take a shot every time he says solo loop
Go one size down for normal use and two sizes down for sport use!
Mkbhd told in his video that if you’re between sizes, opt for the smaller one
Would it have been that to hard to actually put it on?
Anybody got an AliExpress link for braided loop? as $100 is ridiculous
I pre ordered the Apple Watch 7 45mm blue with navy solo loop so I didn’t have to buy the band

Milanese or the braided loop
What’s up with the number sizing why not make it a mm sizing so you could accurately know what size you should get...
Got charcoal braided solo loop via fedex today. Unfortunately silver colored “lug” connectors on the ends are visible, reflect/catch the light, and therefore clashes against my series 5 space gray aluminum, making it look like a poorly fitting knock off. I’ll be returning it. I also got the wrong size. I’ll need to be more careful about sizing in the future. For the record, it also snaps in to a series zero/sport, but the silver lugs stick out even further on that original model. *note: the lugs only come in 1 color, and as such are supposed to be unseen, per apples marketing images

Go down a size. If your wrist measurement is a 7 go down to a 5 or 6
