other than the Sport Loop Apple Watch bands Apple offers, is there any bands you trust or legit such as this brandIMG_1325.JPG

That’s a great looking band, Chris! I like Bold Bands. I’ve also gotten several third party bands from Amazon, all of which I’ve been happy with.

I thought it was more sport loop style. The other wrist band styles are harder for me to get on. Do you know of any one that makes any sports bands

I bought a couple of silicone sport bands from Affinity Bands on Amazon… one Ohio State and one Purdue. They were gifts for my nieces and I was pleased with the quality.

I get my bands on eBay. I like changing according to what I am wearing.

The black silicone band that came with my S6 -> now S7 is ideal. My workouts, my chores around the house, into my pool (not Nov 1-March 1, just say no to cold water) -- a basic black that looks good and durable under all circumstances. I'm lucky sized for the band - the small band attachment, the last loop hole is the perfect fit for me. I had to say all that because when I see the nice looking band from the OP and others speaking about their band changing -- I get major band envy :)

New Flamingo braided Solo Loop band

Really love this pink color! Much more vibrant than the pink punch that came out before. I think I’m going to get the bright green too

I like Lululook third party Apple Watch Bands. Great quality at a good price point in my opinion.

I've bought several bands off Amazon though the years and have had zero issues. I have yet to buy a OEM band from Apple. I gave up on any solo type band because throughout the day, it never manages to feel just right.
