Apple makes it sound like they have dozens of bands on their website but in reality, there’s only three sporty ones. The Sport Band, Nike Sport Band and Sport Loop. I’ve done dozens of workouts with every one of these loops in order to bring you this review!
What's the difference between a $300 dollar band and a $20 dollar knockoff? • Worth the $240 dollar ...
When it comes to working out, my goto is to perform constantly varied functional movements at high intensity. Which makes it pretty hard to keep my Apple Watch on all the time. Because grinding my Apple Watch against a concrete floor is probably going to happen one of these days. My arms go through a range of different movements everyday so having the right strap on my wrist computer is pretty important.
Alright, so which Watch strap is best?
*Sport Band*
This is your basic band. This is the band that showed me that it was possible to use my laptop AND wear a watch at the same time. When it comes to working out, this is my least favourite band. Why? Because sweat tends to accumulate in the middle of the band. I’ll call this the “sweaty band feel”. I also found myself having to take the watch off completely after a workout to wipe off the back.
*Nike Sport Band*
So the Nike Sport Band is basically a regular Sport Band with a bunch of holes in it. This band allows for a bit more color than the regular sport band and addresses my biggest issue with the Sport Band which is the “sweaty band feel”. The holes in the band offer a bit more air to reach your skin you can focus more on your workout rather than the thinking about your sweaty wrist.
The Nike Sport Band is going to be your goto band if you’re a swimmer or a really sweaty gym person.
*Sport Loop*
This is my favourite Apple Watch strap to workout with.
This was one of the newer bands that was introduced with the Series 3 Apple Watch and it’s my favourite to workout with. It’s even quicker to adjust than the Sport Band and doesn’t suffer from “sweaty band feel” because the strap never really sits 100% on your skin. There velcro pieces allow for a bit of airflow between the band and your skin which is nice. I was initially concerned about the fabric watch band smelling after a while but it’s held up quite well given that I haven’t gone out of my way to clean it.
As a downside, this watch strap is made from fabric so it will absorb water. I’m not a very sweaty person when I work out and I don’t swim so my Apple Watch is never really submerged or really wet. It does take time to dry out so if you are sweaty and or swim a lot, don’t use the Sport Loop, go with the Nike Sport Band.
*Working out with the Milanese Loop and Nylon loop*
So how about the Milanese and Nylon loops? Personally, I wouldn’t recommend working out with either of them but if I had to choose, I would go with the Milanese loop because it operates similar to the Sport Loop. You can easily adjust the the size of the loop to fit your liking. The Milanese loop is the only loop-based strap that I’d use in a swimming pool as well. It will dry off much easier than the cloth based sport loop. None of this matters if you think spending ~$200 dollars on a watch strap is stupid.
Now I’m showing you too different looking loops in this video, one is a knockoff of the expensive Apple one. if you want to know more about the differences, check out that video.
The one strap that I wouldn’t workout with at all will be the Nylon strap. This is just a normal watch strap that sits either too loose or tight on my hand, isn’t as easy to adjust on the fly and gets pretty sweaty during a workout. Having it bounce around on my hand during a workout is extremely distracting.

Did a couple of workouts with the Apple Watch Series 4 before doing the torture test (ruclips.net/video/GbOE1T2GAkw/видео.html). The Sport Loop is still my favourite BUT the sport loop that came with my Apple Watch Series 4 is SMALLER than the Series 3. Did anybody else notice this?
MobileReviewsEh yep, same, the identical colour/ type of sport loop on my 44mm series 4 is smaller than my series 3 one also
I like your glasses! Where did you get them haha! They are awesome!!!
Just got my series 4 Nike plus (purchased specifically for the sport loop) and I have a huge hand and was expecting to have to use my black xl sport band but found this band to be quite
Stretchy so it works on my hand. Was the previous versions stretchy ? I love it so far, super comfy and I almost forget I am wearing it.
MobileReviewsEh Have you tried the groove life watch band? Recently on kickstarter....probably going to try it out myself...not seeing any reviews for it yet (which makes sense as it’s so new)
Which is better to workout with aluminum or steel?
This is why I love your videos. They’re well thought out. I take your opinion seriously because you’ll form a judgement on products only after living with them and really using them. I’m obsessed with Apple Watch bands and it was a treat to hear your opinion on the variety of bands. Keep up the great videos. I’ve been a fan since watching you chuck the iPhone 6 across the parking lot in an Otterbox.
Thanks for the support!
I actually wear the steel milanese when working out. The mesh metal seems to eliminate sweat residue.
I’m sorry but I got questions :P have you also swam with it? If so how was it. Also what color do you have I heard they can get discolored over time.
Thanks!
Same
I also wear a milanese when i work out. I find it great as you can adjust it on the fly and it doesn’t get wet as some nylon. I like milanese better than rubber! 😊
Next time wear with tuxe in the gym
@@user-sb4fd3jt3w I have. It’s perfect for everything. Looks new after a year (black one).
Wear it 24/7 and am in the gym often. Swimming works great.
Like it even more for working out than my Nike silicone band, because it adjusts way better to your wrist. While looking really elegant.
You sometimes have to correct it a bit because it gets just a little loose if you stretch your wrist or something, but it’s super easy to do. After a while you just adjust it subconsciously so it is always a perfect fit and it doesn’t bother you at all.
Just discovered the "sport loop" last week, totally agree with you. It is the most comfortable and best for working out. I get the most accurate HR readings with the sport loop for some reason. With the other bands I get periods of several minutes with no HR recorded. Maybe because of the better fit and slight stretch of the band it stays where it is supposed to. Thanks for the vid
:)
Do the velcro of sports loop get damaged by water?
Monty is such a great Apple Watch model, way to go Monty!!
I love how the dog is at the background doing the "I am not mad, I am just disappointed" face the whole time. LOL
This channel is awesome, I get my answer in 2min, like the vid and leave.
And it never disappoints.
Been watching your reviews for years now, love what you do. You make intensive detailed reviews interesting which is really hard to do.
thank you. i’m looking at buying an apple watch because it’s amazing from what i’ve seen. my main issue was how comfortable the watch would be because of past watches iv used. this video was super useful because you actually had some experience with each band. this really helped me. keep it up!
I appreciate the fact you gave the answer early in the video, got me checking out other videos on your channel right away. Thanks!
Great review of sports bands thanks. Personally I've been using the Apple sports loop strap, for everyday use and for swimming most days.
The chlorine water doesn't appear to be affecting it, but like my goggles, I always rinse it off in the shower after a swim.
It's really comfortable and probably the easiest band to put on and quickly adjust.
I love it so much I seldom change it for any of my other bands, unless I'm going somewhere special.
That thumb nail!!!!! 😍
/flex
Same! He’s so hot 😍🔥🥵🤩🙌🏽!!
found this as I'm looking at a new Apple Watch. I love the look of the fabric sport loops, but I sweat a lot running and biking and I think it would just smell and be a mess. I think I need to stick with the nike. loop.
I like the sport bands for working out because I jump in the shower right after without having the soaked in feeling that the sport loops have
I use de sport loop for years. Ideal for fitness and swimming too. It does dry very fast. They are the only straps I use everyday!
9:01 ooofff, i felt that!
The Blue Whale bathtub spout is Cute. Mahalo for making the Great informative and interesting videos.
Do a video on how Apple's black DLC coated Milanese loop scratched your watch.
I really dislike the Nike sport band. It catches my arm hair and even pinches wrist skin when I'm trying to fold the excess strap into the band. I'm using the smaller of the two bands to avoid all that extra thick silicone band wrapping up one side. The thinness of the solo loop is great, but when really sweating that solo loop will slide right off me. I'm going to have to try the sport loop next, even though I think its the worst looking visually. Will be for workouts only, for sure.
I know this video is 3 years old but I still appreciate your reviews!
Have both the Nike and nylon loop. And I agree . I wear my
Nylon loop everyday ! And love the Nike sports loop for swimming because it doesn’t need time to dry .
are you still using the apple sport loop today and have you tried the nike sport loop
Had same issues with regular sport band. Got so sweaty and water gets stuck. So when I got the new Apple Watch 7 got the Nike version watch band much better for workouts.
what is better milanese loop or nike sport band
The Nike sport band is just the only band I use year around in the summer it’s great cause it’s breathable it looks coolest and I can sweat like crazy and it’s not an issue
Dude haha the dog is rocking an Apple Watch
Ahhh Monty! I have 2 mini-schnauzers, Pickle and Poppy. They are such affectionate dogs! I subscribed. (I'm Canadian too-eh)
Too bad your don't go surfing at Tofino. I have to pick a watch band for the Ultra and I was hoping for a review of the UAG/Rip Curl and the Nomad Rugged, etc.
The sport loop is like pajama pants for your wrist. It’s super comfortable and more form fitting than the Milanese loop.
I love your dog
I ❤️ Monty! So well behaved!
What size watch is best 40mm or 44mm?
Great video and super helpful. Don't know anyone else that has done such a no biased video. I have to try the nike band since I sweat a lot. Love the watch in the gym though.
Your dog is so chili. hehe
I like your 3rd Gen TL in the garage.
Am going for Nike band
Thanks for sharing. I’ve not been lucky enough to find an Apple Store to try those on. Watching this video help me decide which band I should get without going to the store.
What do you think of the Milanese Loop for working out? Did it slip a lot?
how is this 3 years ago
Does the milanese strap loosen during a workout or is the magnet strong enough to hold it in place?
Nomad rugged sport strap is the best I have used. Better than the apple ones or sure
I just traded my iPhone 11 for an iPhone 15. I looked at numerous videos of yours. They are great and I love your dog. I just received my Apple Sportloop after having many third-party bands for my iPhone 11. So far I love it and think it is worth the money.
One thing bothers me though. The colors of the tabs on the end of these bands are not tasteful. My Ocean Blue band has an orange tab. Really? Why? The only thing I can think of is Apple wants to distinguish their bands from knock-offs. This would only be meaningful to an Apple fanboy, however. I am thinking of painting mine black but will wait a bit.
This video is informational
But I have one problem I can’t get the sport bands or the Nike sport loop because my wrist are so tiny all I can use is the sport loop
And if you thinking oh I could use the milineese loop but NO
I CANT USE THAT ONE EITHER because guess why
MY WRISTS ARE TOO SMALL it goes all the around my wrist and will touch the other side of the watch and it will still be too loose 😠
I appreciate your years of trial so much 👏🏽👏🏽 definitely helped me make a decision of a better band
How would you compare the Apple sport loop and an off band sport loop??
6:41 the dog thinking why the fuck does my owner talk to himself?
Great review... except the sport loop is 100% waterproof nylon. It doesn’t actually ABSORB the water, it just gets in between the nylon threads. It’s fine for swimming with
Do the velcro of sports loop get damaged by water?
Mihir Mehta I’ve washed mine in the sink after every workout for the past 4 months and have not noticed a difference
Thanks and I hope the loop doesn’t get loose because of washing
@@mihirmehta8402 cmon its apple LOL the quality will be exceptional.
Can the loop last for years without get shape shift or lose the stickiness?
Neat video.. good to hear the experience and honest opinion .. prolly will go with the sport loop & nike band 👍
Thank you! You saved me. I'm a swimmer, about to purchase my first Apple Watch. I was considering the sport loop.
Best on youtube
I’ve only got the pink sand sports band and a Milanese band from AliExpress I find the sports band does nothing for sweat it makes it slippery I like the Velcro sports loop ones for sweat workouts etc
Hey Aaron, do you have plans to do an updated phone-carrying-arm-band video? (Especially for someone who likes to run and sometimes carries their phone instead of just the cellular Apple watch.)
you're adorable and funny and incredibly helpful. thank you!
Plz consider updating this video, ❤ u
You didn't have to flex on us so damn hard on the thumbnail bro hehehe cheeky content mate.
Learnt a lot when watching this video and help me to decide between sports band and sports loop as I’m a swimmer.
Best Video. I was wondering if the weird bands would fall off a lot.... I'm still a little concerned.
How do the braided bands hold on in regards to smell when you workout with them? Assuming you're sweating and the material absorbs the moisture.
What do you recommend for a rugged waterproof band ? I used to wear G Shock and got my first Apple Watch
Have you done a review of covers for the Apple watch? Specifically how they hold up with movements like KB cleans and snatches. I destroyed a Fitbit doing these moves and would like to not mess up the Apple watch if there's something out there that will actually work. Thanks
Dog: Stop abusing me (move his head away)
Him: Smell my band
Clicked for the BOD
/flex
daddy
MobileReviewsEh {muscle mass /increase}
Yes I am here for the bod as well.. and the bands second of course
He’s such a buff hot daddy 😍🔥🥵🤩🙌🏽
Good video. I been looking for a band for my watch. do you wear your watch when lifting heavy weight? I know for me I need to wear a wrist strap don't know how that's going to workout with the watch since the wrist strap are big. what would you suggest on a band for that kind of workout? I was thinking the gray one you showed were you could adjust .
i like your glasss
Awesome and thank you for recommendation me loopy case
What did you use in your hands to do a chin up?
very interesting and informative
Can watch 4 bands be used with watch 5?
So help me out with the workout and the dieting. Please?
Eat lots of vegetables, lean meats and clean carbs. Lift heavy, do HIIT. Most importantly, do it consistently for a year.
Is the Apple Watch series r sports loop waterproof
GoblinTheMaster It’s not waterproof, but it is sweat proof. Recommended to use for workouts, but not for a complete dunk or Swimming!!!
Nice subtle flex w the thumbnail
Great! Content! First time here.
Are you wearing a 40mm or 44mm?
Could I have military time and regular time displayed on one screen? Like one above the other. I don’t have a Apple watch but if It is possible to do that then I’m sold.
Dude, you did this video just because you wanted to show off your physique. Although, I gotta admit, I would've done the same if were built like you, lol.Super useful review, thx
like the iPhone 5c cases
Were those wrist hooks for doing chin ups?
love you content and honest review! I cracked up when you said you're a $8 t-shirt guy but with multiple watch bands = hypocrite XD And your stylish dog, ohhh! Anyway, this video has helped me to pick the strap that suits my need, that is, the sport loop. Thank you!
Hi Aaron, I've been struggling if I'm going to replace my nike watch band with a nike loop strap. But I'm also wearing my Apple Watch into shower everyday in order to keep it clean and I do not enjoy having the watch not on my wrist. I'm a tennis guy so might be sweating more than gym workout. Should I change it?
Aww love Monty!!
Hi from another piss poor skipper in the US! You made me laugh out loud when you said you blamed your bad skipping on anything you could 😂 And hi to Monte!
I’ve been looking everywhere for that Nike sport band black with grey holes
Do you know a place I can get that color combination???
Ahissa Lopez it’s discontinued
Hey Quick Q, will a 41mm Nike sport loop ment for the series 7 fit on my 40mm series 6?
Very clear and helpful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Easy way to clean Apple sports loops & also nylon watch bands: put them in a laundry bag for delicates and put the bag in the wash. After you take them out they are dry in about 1/2 an hour or so.
resourcedragon do the velcro of sports loop get damaged by water?
Mihir Mehta No. I always wash mine with soap and water.
You’re really funny! Enjoying your content. 😊
I lost my sports band. I feel like crying. Its so expensive
Yet another great video.
Just a quick thank you I love that your videos are short sweet and to the point!
Nicely done!
Love your videos and your living room and your dog 🐕 Just subbed 🤗
The Milanese loop is probably my favorite too, but at that price, I’m not getting one! Maybe a knock off, but the ones I’ve seen suggested it’s not for sports use and that the color would fade or scratch off. Ha!
What brand is that weighted bag?
As much as I love my Apple Watch, I cant justify paying $49 for a watch band. No shade on those who do. You do you fam.
They last a long time though. I have the band that came with my Series 1 for 3 years. Still works perfectly and is still reliable, with minor scratches of course.
Thanks, this video really helped me out,
👎 to whoever disliked
I was waiting for you to make this video what took you soo long ;D great video thumbs up.
Why the heck does the dog have an apple watch??!! 😕🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have trying find out If the “Velcro” connection of the sport loop becomes less effective over time? Any thoughts on that. Just ordered new series 6 with Velcro sport loop. Hoping it will be durable.
Well not really, they feel pretty durable. The thing that ruins the sportloop for me is the fact its pretty much allways wet and starts to smell really bad. I’ve been washing all three sport loops that i have but it gets smelly pretty quick...
you should redo this vid with the new solo loop bands 😃👍🏼
You should give the leather ones a try....
