Title says it all. Tried so many of those stretchy or elastic Apple Watch bands to put on the wrist, arm, or ankle. Some either hurt on the outside edges because they’re too hard or the whole band stretches but it’s a tight feeling stretch that leaves your arm looking like you were wearing a tourniquet. I would try to loosen it to find a “sweet spot” but that spot is surprisingly hard to find. It would either be loose enough to lose contact for the health trackers or tight that it hurts.Yep they’re all cheap bands from China so I wasn’t expecting anything earth shattering in terms of quality, but at least something that doesn’t hurt. I just wanted something that stretched and had some give, didn’t hurt from cutting circulation or from moving my arm or ankle at natural angles chaffing against the rough edges, and was easy to adjust size.This solves 2 out of those 3 issues.1) It’s soft ALL AROUND THE BAND, not just the strap but also the edges of the strap. This sounds like such a basic premise but a surprising over sight many other bands have.2) It stretches with a soft tension. I’m guessing it’s because it uses some kind of fabric/weave instead of a regular elastic band. I can tell it’s stretching across my arm or ankle but it’s not digging in. Sometimes it even feels like it’s maxed out in terms of stretch but still doesn’t feel anywhere near as painful as other bands.3) It’s “relatively” easy to adjust the size. I liked other hands that had a strap that Velcro’d or snapped or even a sliding mechanism that was easy to size while wearing the band. It’s tricky to resize the band while wearing your watch. Usually I have to take it off completely, adjust the size, and put it back on. Fortunately, the stretchiness and comfort level is so easy and soft, that putting it on and off for resizing is pretty easy. It’s just extra steps. Also since the stretch is so soft felt, sizing your band is very forgiving so you never have to find that “sweet spot”. It’s very very forgiving.I’m returning all my other stretchy bands that now feel like bootlegs in comparison.
