All,
curious what band settings you folks with Sport bands have it at. I keep going back and forth between having three and four holes open (with the pin either in the fourth or fifth hole from the tightest). I have a little smaller than average guy arms. It it snug enough on the fourth hole that it starts hurting my wrist a bit. It's squeezing my wrist only a tiny bit. I can get a finger in between the band and arm if i push. I loosen it to the fifth hole, and it slides around - normally no big deal but it misses skin contact occasionally and I have to keep putting in the PIN number. There's no happy medium with the warmer weather. It's actually frustrating. Anyone else having issues finding the perfect fit?

2nd hole from end on short band. Long band fits as well but I prefer shorter.

You know I'm thinking of changing out and trying the small band, at a different setting tonight - might find a better fit.

Agreed. The larger band fits but I like having a shorter tail to tuck underneath.

What size wrists do you have? And how snug is it?

Small band last hole (largest) Started with large strap but it was either slightly to large or to lose (to much tuck in didn't help)

Thanks...did you find that the extra tuck made it tighter than the small on the last hole? I tried the small on the last hole and it seemed to give me a tiny bit more room - I think that's because I wasn't tucking anything else behind, like on the large loop. Maybe I'm obsessing but the first few days were fine with it until this past weekend.

Yeah extra tuck in with the large strap made it slightly to tight. Got it perfect now although not alway feeling notifications.

I snap mine on the 4th hole with the large band.

That's the setting I'm using too. It fits comfortably on the fourth hole from the end but the watch kept asking me to put in the password so it probably wasn't able to detect that it was on my wrist.

Previous hole is too big.
The next hole is too tight.
This hole is just right.

Seriously though I find either band was adjustable to fit comfortably. Even throughout the day. As Karen said the shorter tail is more comfortable. I found the Apple sizing chart to be an accurate guideline. The holes were plentiful enough. What else could possibly be gained from me measuring MY wrist? Unless someone was considering buying a new strap for me ... .

Plus there are bands sizable without holes. It seems to have a very generous overlap for small and large sport sizes and a considerable range from small to large.

Hope that is helpful. If I had an easy way to measure for you I would.

I just use whichever one that allows the Watch to fit snugly on my wrist....

Yeah, no kidding.

I wasn't asking for measurements with tape measures, just a general idea - small, medium, large...whatever. The feedback has been really useful. I may return this thing, as I can't find a single size that works.

Have you tried using both bands that came with the Watch? The smaller one may be more comfortable being that you would use the first one to three holes instead of possibly using more with the larger band and then having to tuck away a decent size.

Yep. I'm using the first hole (largest) on the small band today, and it's still too tight. Hanging in there for now.

I haven't received my sport band yet and have been running with the Milanese Loop. It is probably not ideal, but it is more comfortable than I expected and the fit is good.

[Terb]

Large sport band for me, on the 3rd hole from the smallest. Tried the smaller band on the first (largest) did not like the feel.

the middle hole on the small/medium band (three holes visible on each side). I seem to have fairly small wrists.

Same for me.

What about the magnet types?

This thread kinda reminds me of the story about the blond girl that took her new scarf back to the store because it was too tight.

[Maf C]

Yep. I think this is my favourite thread

UPDATE!!! I've moved from last hole small strap to 2nd to last hole small strap. I'm getting a better hit rate on notifications ;-)
