I had the same experience that a lot of others have had here. I was between sizes so I went to the lower size for the braided solo loop. It worked out great. At the same time I bought this band I also bought a solo loop, which is made from silicone rubber. For that one I went with the larger size; that worked out well too. So, I ended up with two different sizes for the two bands. The thinking here is that I heard from a few people, some with lots of experience (Apple staff in the store) that the braided solo loop will tend to stretch out more than the rubber solo loop. The different size approach recognizes the different stretching behavior of the two materials. Here's something I discovered with the braided solo loop: If you want to 'tighten it up' a bit, stretch it out in the width direction, all up and down the length of the band. This tends to 'shorten' the band a bit. It seems to work.

as I don't have an Apple Store near me, I'm very happy that I took the time and effort to do some research about the Braided Solo Loop Band sizing before buying one online and stumbled across this video. my wrist measures 17.5cm on the spot where I wear my Watch normally, which Apple converts into a size 8. following the advice of this video, I ordered myself a size smaller (so size 7) and it fits perfectly! thanks Frank!

This is the best strap video I’ve seen yet for talking me through the differences and showing me how they fit. Nicely done Frank, really appreciate this update. Along with you showing the Red Sports Loop, I would need a 7. The Apple guide had me smack in the middle of the 8 area, so was already thinking a 7. 👍🏻😀

Yea same here. I have 7” wrists and with the paper tool if I pull it snug it hits right in the middle of the 8...if I really tug on the paper really tight I am on the line between 7/8 so I got a size 7. I first tried the size 6 and it was way too snug and sent it back for a 7. It fits perfectly however I am worried that the more I wear the band the more it will stretch. As of now the size 7 is perfect especial for lifting at the gym where my arms and firearms expand during a pump. Time will tell as to how long this band can go before wearing out. I have read that these can be washed in hot water then hot blow dry and the bands reverts back to its original size. Worse comes to worst I will have to buy another size 6 and just keep wearing it in order to make it stretch because the size 6 is pretty uncomfortable on my wrist after wearing it for about an hour. Awesome braided solo band...imo worth no more than $29.99 😎

I sized for an 8...I have both a size 6 and a 7. The 6 is too snug on my wrist so for now I am sending it back to Apple...the 7 is snug but a tad loose when I first put my watch on in the morning. As the day goes by my wrist area gets fuller from natural fluids and especially when I am working out in the gym the 7 then feels perfect. If the 7 stretches out too much I will try the washing in hot water then hot blow drying it and if that does not help shrink it back close to its original size then I will be purchasing another 6.

I tried braided loop in an Apple store. I tried sizes 7 and 6. Both seemed fine 7 might be slightly too loose. When I had 6 on when I twisted my hand down the watch was poking me. when I did this with 7 there was very little poking. I’m worried if I get 7 it will get too loose.

Really depends on your preference. I think if you get the size you measured, it would be form fitting, it would be comfortable. I actually asked some of my friends who got the size they measured, and they are happy with the fit. For me, my measurement (hovering right around the line between 7 and 8) , the size 7 band I got was comfortable. But for my personal preference, I like it tighter, that's why I went with size 6 in the end. I'd say it was more one size down for me, not two. So if you wear your watch more on the comfortable side, I'd guess the measurement is pretty accurate. Still, this is very new, so I don't know how the elasticity will last after a while. I'd also recommend wait a bit and see if the KZitemrs you follow post any follow-ups after a while of usage, which would definitely provide better insight. I am planning on a video down the road to provide a follow up on how that goes, you are welcome to follow the channel for that update :) Good luck.

Hi. I recently learned that some stores would ask that you go actually try on the size before buying. I guess it really shows that the sizing is really just a reference. But I think my original response is still reasonable. I’m including it here: Really depends on your preference.

You probably weren’t measuring your arm correctly. It’s hard using one hard to check the size. You are meant to place the tape on top of your hand where you place your watch on. After that wrap around the tape tightly.

@@tony91980 Yes-ish. though it is not braided one, I would have waited for that one too long. It felt bit tight the first few days but either I got used to it or it loosened a bit. I think it is great for workouts, it stays in place perfectly and cannot get really dirty or wet. I wish it was breathable but I keep moving it up and down my arm and it is easy with the stretchiness. I think it is better to err on the side of it being too small as it is a stretchy design. if it is too big you cannot make it smaller, if it is small, it stretches to fit... I suspect the braided one is more comfortable for wearing and might be breathable a bit, but it gets wet...Apple is making this tough:) I will get size 7 braided one eventually for comfortable wearing, but I am keeping the smooth 6 as well, it is better for comfortable workouts and I do not think the braided one is good for pools or wet environment.
