The BEST Apple Watch strap/band to workout with? The Sport Loop! For me anyways BUT if you're sweaty or swimmer, you're going with a Nike Sport Band. Why? Find out below!

Apple makes it sound like they have dozens of bands on their website but in reality, there’s only three sporty ones. The Sport Band, Nike Sport Band and Sport Loop. I’ve done dozens of workouts with every one of these loops in order to bring you this review!
What's the difference between a $300 dollar band and a $20 dollar knockoff? • Worth the $240 dollar ...
When it comes to working out, my goto is to perform constantly varied functional movements at high intensity. Which makes it pretty hard to keep my Apple Watch on all the time. Because grinding my Apple Watch against a concrete floor is probably going to happen one of these days. My arms go through a range of different movements everyday so having the right strap on my wrist computer is pretty important.
Alright, so which Watch strap is best?
*Sport Band*
This is your basic band. This is the band that showed me that it was possible to use my laptop AND wear a watch at the same time. When it comes to working out, this is my least favourite band. Why? Because sweat tends to accumulate in the middle of the band. I’ll call this the “sweaty band feel”. I also found myself having to take the watch off completely after a workout to wipe off the back.
*Nike Sport Band*
So the Nike Sport Band is basically a regular Sport Band with a bunch of holes in it. This band allows for a bit more color than the regular sport band and addresses my biggest issue with the Sport Band which is the “sweaty band feel”. The holes in the band offer a bit more air to reach your skin you can focus more on your workout rather than the thinking about your sweaty wrist.
The Nike Sport Band is going to be your goto band if you’re a swimmer or a really sweaty gym person.
*Sport Loop*
This is my favourite Apple Watch strap to workout with.
This was one of the newer bands that was introduced with the Series 3 Apple Watch and it’s my favourite to workout with. It’s even quicker to adjust than the Sport Band and doesn’t suffer from “sweaty band feel” because the strap never really sits 100% on your skin. There velcro pieces allow for a bit of airflow between the band and your skin which is nice. I was initially concerned about the fabric watch band smelling after a while but it’s held up quite well given that I haven’t gone out of my way to clean it.
As a downside, this watch strap is made from fabric so it will absorb water. I’m not a very sweaty person when I work out and I don’t swim so my Apple Watch is never really submerged or really wet. It does take time to dry out so if you are sweaty and or swim a lot, don’t use the Sport Loop, go with the Nike Sport Band.
*Working out with the Milanese Loop and Nylon loop*
So how about the Milanese and Nylon loops? Personally, I wouldn’t recommend working out with either of them but if I had to choose, I would go with the Milanese loop because it operates similar to the Sport Loop. You can easily adjust the the size of the loop to fit your liking. The Milanese loop is the only loop-based strap that I’d use in a swimming pool as well. It will dry off much easier than the cloth based sport loop. None of this matters if you think spending ~$200 dollars on a watch strap is stupid.
Now I’m showing you too different looking loops in this video, one is a knockoff of the expensive Apple one. if you want to know more about the differences, check out that video.
The one strap that I wouldn’t workout with at all will be the Nylon strap. This is just a normal watch strap that sits either too loose or tight on my hand, isn’t as easy to adjust on the fly and gets pretty sweaty during a workout. Having it bounce around on my hand during a workout is extremely distracting.

Did a couple of workouts with the Apple Watch Series 4 before doing the torture test (kzread.info/dash/bejne/eZaDp5ONYqqnm9o.html). The Sport Loop is still my favourite BUT the sport loop that came with my Apple Watch Series 4 is SMALLER than the Series 3. Did anybody else notice this?

Just got my series 4 Nike plus (purchased specifically for the sport loop) and I have a huge hand and was expecting to have to use my black xl sport band but found this band to be quite Stretchy so it works on my hand. Was the previous versions stretchy ? I love it so far, super comfy and I almost forget I am wearing it.

Which is better to workout with aluminum or steel?
This is why I love your videos. They’re well thought out. I take your opinion seriously because you’ll form a judgement on products only after living with them and really using them. I’m obsessed with Apple Watch bands and it was a treat to hear your opinion on the variety of bands. Keep up the great videos. I’ve been a fan since watching you chuck the iPhone 6 across the parking lot in an Otterbox.

Been watching your reviews for years now, love what you do. You make intensive detailed reviews interesting which is really hard to do.
I appreciate your years of trial so much 👏🏽👏🏽 definitely helped me make a decision of a better band
Neat video.. good to hear the experience and honest opinion .. prolly will go with the sport loop & nike band 👍
Answered all my question. Thank you!
I use de sport loop for years. Ideal for fitness and swimming too. It does dry very fast. They are the only straps I use everyday!
thank you. i’m looking at buying an apple watch because it’s amazing from what i’ve seen. my main issue was how comfortable the watch would be because of past watches iv used. this video was super useful because you actually had some experience with each band. this really helped me. keep it up!
Have both the Nike and nylon loop. And I agree . I wear my Nylon loop everyday ! And love the Nike sports loop for swimming because it doesn’t need time to dry .
Just what I was looking for. Thanks, dude.
Amazing review, the effort put in is obvious and answered all the questions I was looking to have answered
Great video and super helpful. Don't know anyone else that has done such a no biased video. I have to try the nike band since I sweat a lot. Love the watch in the gym though.
I appreciate the fact you gave the answer early in the video, got me checking out other videos on your channel right away. Thanks!
Thank you! You saved me. I'm a swimmer, about to purchase my first Apple Watch. I was considering the sport loop.
Just a quick thank you I love that your videos are short sweet and to the point!
Yes!!!! Thank you for this video!!!
Thanks for the information, appreciate it. enjoyed also to see ur loving dog
This is so helpful! Love your review style and content.
thank you! this was amazing and very helpful
Monty is such a great Apple Watch model, way to go Monty!!
Great review thanks :) do you have a video about the Apple watch 4 and the GPS accuracy?
I actually wear the steel milanese when working out. The mesh metal seems to eliminate sweat residue.

@@user-sb4fd3jt3w I have. It’s perfect for everything. Looks new after a year (black one). Wear it 24/7 and am in the gym often. Swimming works great. Like it even more for working out than my Nike silicone band, because it adjusts way better to your wrist. While looking really elegant. You sometimes have to correct it a bit because it gets just a little loose if you stretch your wrist or something, but it’s super easy to do. After a while you just adjust it subconsciously so it is always a perfect fit and it doesn’t bother you at all.
Super funny and extremely helpful! A fun watch and I got some great notes out of it. Thank you so much!
Aww love Monty!!
Very clear and helpful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for sharing. I’ve not been lucky enough to find an Apple Store to try those on. Watching this video help me decide which band I should get without going to the store.
Learnt a lot when watching this video and help me to decide between sports band and sports loop as I’m a swimmer.
Am going for Nike band
found this as I'm looking at a new Apple Watch. I love the look of the fabric sport loops, but I sweat a lot running and biking and I think it would just smell and be a mess. I think I need to stick with the nike. loop.
The sport loop is like pajama pants for your wrist. It’s super comfortable and more form fitting than the Milanese loop.
You’re really funny! Enjoying your content. 😊
Awesome and thank you for recommendation me loopy case
They are very high quality videos thank you
good review, thank you
thanks for sharing The Ho!
Any good sportsband clones? Thanks for all your videos!
Awesome video! Glad I came across your channel. Very good information!
Had same issues with regular sport band. Got so sweaty and water gets stuck. So when I got the new Apple Watch 7 got the Nike version watch band much better for workouts.
Nicely done!
I know this video is 3 years old but I still appreciate your reviews!
Love your vids. Just subscribed. Keep up the great work!

Hey, Nice review/comparison! What app do you use for your CrossFit workouts?
Do a video on how Apple's black DLC coated Milanese loop scratched your watch.
Yet another great video.
I was waiting for you to make this video what took you soo long ;D great video thumbs up.
The Nike sport band is just the only band I use year around in the summer it’s great cause it’s breathable it looks coolest and I can sweat like crazy and it’s not an issue
Thanks!
I like the sport bands for working out because I jump in the shower right after without having the soaked in feeling that the sport loops have
Love your videos and your living room and your dog 🐕 Just subbed 🤗
Have you done a review of covers for the Apple watch? Specifically how they hold up with movements like KB cleans and snatches. I destroyed a Fitbit doing these moves and would like to not mess up the Apple watch if there's something out there that will actually work. Thanks
Just discovered the "sport loop" last week, totally agree with you. It is the most comfortable and best for working out. I get the most accurate HR readings with the sport loop for some reason. With the other bands I get periods of several minutes with no HR recorded. Maybe because of the better fit and slight stretch of the band it stays where it is supposed to. Thanks for the vid

Do the velcro of sports loop get damaged by water?
What do you think of the Milanese Loop for working out? Did it slip a lot?
Great review of sports bands thanks. Personally I've been using the Apple sports loop strap, for everyday use and for swimming most days. The chlorine water doesn't appear to be affecting it, but like my goggles, I always rinse it off in the shower after a swim. It's really comfortable and probably the easiest band to put on and quickly adjust. I love it so much I seldom change it for any of my other bands, unless I'm going somewhere special.
What do you recommend for a rugged waterproof band ? I used to wear G Shock and got my first Apple Watch
Man you are alright! Subscribed.
Best Video. I was wondering if the weird bands would fall off a lot.... I'm still a little concerned.
I ❤️ Monty! So well behaved!
Hey Aaron, do you have plans to do an updated phone-carrying-arm-band video? (Especially for someone who likes to run and sometimes carries their phone instead of just the cellular Apple watch.)
How do the braided bands hold on in regards to smell when you workout with them? Assuming you're sweating and the material absorbs the moisture.
Too bad your don't go surfing at Tofino. I have to pick a watch band for the Ultra and I was hoping for a review of the UAG/Rip Curl and the Nomad Rugged, etc.
Thanks
Good video. I been looking for a band for my watch. do you wear your watch when lifting heavy weight? I know for me I need to wear a wrist strap don't know how that's going to workout with the watch since the wrist strap are big. what would you suggest on a band for that kind of workout? I was thinking the gray one you showed were you could adjust .
This channel is awesome, I get my answer in 2min, like the vid and leave. And it never disappoints.
are you still using the apple sport loop today and have you tried the nike sport loop
Good stuff
Nomad rugged sport strap is the best I have used. Better than the apple ones or sure
I like your 3rd Gen TL in the garage.
very interesting and informative

Hi Aaron, I've been struggling if I'm going to replace my nike watch band with a nike loop strap. But I'm also wearing my Apple Watch into shower everyday in order to keep it clean and I do not enjoy having the watch not on my wrist. I'm a tennis guy so might be sweating more than gym workout. Should I change it?
you're adorable and funny and incredibly helpful. thank you!
What did you use in your hands to do a chin up?
Does the milanese strap loosen during a workout or is the magnet strong enough to hold it in place?
You should give the leather ones a try....
How would you compare the Apple sport loop and an off band sport loop??
you should redo this vid with the new solo loop bands 😃👍🏼
Iv been here since 100k
@MobileReviewsEh Thanks for the review, but HEY, what kind of knee braces You Use, to work out in???
Were those wrist hooks for doing chin ups?
Best on youtube

love you content and honest review! I cracked up when you said you're a $8 t-shirt guy but with multiple watch bands = hypocrite XD And your stylish dog, ohhh! Anyway, this video has helped me to pick the strap that suits my need, that is, the sport loop. Thank you!
Could I have military time and regular time displayed on one screen? Like one above the other. I don’t have a Apple watch but if It is possible to do that then I’m sold.
Hi from another piss poor skipper in the US! You made me laugh out loud when you said you blamed your bad skipping on anything you could 😂 And hi to Monte!
Can watch 4 bands be used with watch 5?
Your dog is so chili. hehe
I’d be interested in an updated watch strap collection by Mobile Reviews Eh,! ...
