Treated myself to the new nylon velcro band in pink sand today I love it ! I have very small wrists and using the buckle sports bands often leaves me in between hole sizes too loose or too tight. This velcro band is a perfect fit

I love this band. What size is your watch? I want to get this band but I’m afraid the 42mm one might be too big for my wrist. I’ve noticed even the S/M sport band on my 42 is looser than the one from my 38.

Hey firstborn80 my watch is the 42mm size. I have small wrists as well, like I mentioned above. I'm actually about a 6" wrist size and this velcro band fits well. I close it just about as far as it can go, but depending on the weather the past couple days, sometimes I have to loosen it up a teeny bit. I posted pics for you of both ways I wear it comfortably. I will say this band is very comfortable to wear and the actual edges of the band are not rough or stiff. It is my most favorite out of the handful of bands I do have for my watch.

Wearing adjusted a little looser

So I hope this helps, and keep in mind that if the band doesn't work out for you, Apple will let you return it(within 14days I think is the policy).

Great...thanks for letting me know! This helps a lot. I’m gonna go get one to match my pink sand silicone case.

Show off your  Watch!

I'm going to visit my Apple Store to check out the X, and I'll pick up a Sport Loop in either Seashell or Dark Olive.

Ohhhh nice ! I've been wanting to check out the X just for funsies. I'm really not interested in upgrading at this time honestly, my 6S Plus keeps me happy (wait till you see the 2 new cases I'm getting in the mail soon lol)

As for the watch bands, if you get the olive I'd love to see a pic of it ! I'm an olive color loving person too... I've had my eye on that color band but can't tell the color very well on the Apple website lol

Recieved my 42mm Space Gray S3 non-cellular yesterday. Loving this thing! Took an hour or so get comfortable with UI and watch faces but good to go now. Plain Jane look but waiting for UPS to deliver my cases and other bands.

Updated with bands and case.

Re: Show off your  Watch!

Got an Amazon sport loop (Qifit is the brand). Looks and feels great. Was at the Apple store over the weekend, and it was identical in look and feel to the real deal, and about 1/3 the cost. I will probably pick up another color or two. Got my wife the pink sand one as well.

I ordered this same brand and have yet to receive it. Hopefully it comes today

Just FYI to all, there was a reddit thread about this strap yesterday. That person showed that the Qifit does not seem to be the same quality as Apple's - it is not as wide, did not lay straight, didn't allow the strap to be loosened beyond the velcro closures, kept an impression of where the strap was closed, but, on the positive side, felt a bit "softer". If somebody can't afford the Apple price and is ok with a slightly lower quality, that's probably fine, but they should know that going in, IMHO.
