I tried the solo band in the shop and chose one which fits perfectly. When I am given the new strap, I realised that it was too tight. I wonder whether I can get it change at Apple store? Or do I need to make an appointment?
I think just go straight to Apple Store with all your box and receipt standby ba ...

I am guessing only

reddit has quite a few people with such problem. a few complains noted is it got bigger after 1+ weeks. so maybe you might wanna consider using it for a couple of days "running it" in?

My skinny wrist only 13.5cm . Want 44mm also cannot. Settled for the 40mm because only can fit strap size 1.
my wrist already damn skinny. yours more extreme. for your case dont even think about 44mm. i think it will look like a rock on your forearm! :D

Watch the MKBHD video on YouTube which was just released. He basically said there is no need to upgrade from series 5 or even 4.
Moreover titianium to alu is a definite downgrade la

By the way how did you get warranty till 2023 on your series 5? Sounds like mechanical watches with 3 years warranty to me

I’ve upgraded from S4 > S5 > S6.

It’s not so expensive if you sell/trade-in your prior watch. Really, you are just paying the difference.

Let’s say that difference is $250. Over 365 days is 70cents per day - totally worth it to have the latest tech given we wear the watch all day and use it for all sorts of things.

First time getting an apple watch. Went to Apple store to test out the solo loop size. I'm in between 4 and 5.

Size 5 is probably a tiny bit loose while size 4 feels like the watch snug nicely on my wrist.

Anyone in between sizes want to share if you went for the one size bigger or one size smaller? Am not sure if the braided solo loop will get stretched over time.

braided solo loop seemed to get slightly bigger after some use as per to some users(in this thread) reported from the demo strap and their own. And also from Reddit similar info. Here’s the link https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/j2mlo7/a_week_and_a_half_with_the_braided_solo_loop_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

If I were you I would get the one the demo strap’s fitting

Don’t do it. Keep the S5 and switch to S7 next year for the redesign and new features.

I bought a used S5 Titanium with warranty till 2023 below $700 and I couldn’t be more satisfied!

I on solo loop. When I tried was between 5 to 6.

So decided on 5 and it was a correct decision for me ...

Anyone using the Nike Run Club (“NRC”) app ?

I did a run on 1-Oct & another run on 2-Oct.

On my Apple Watch, the NRC app says it’s synced, and only displayed all the runs in Sept. Then scroll down below, it says:


This Month
2 runs
See your full activity history in the NRC iPhone app



How come I cannot see the details of the 2 runs in October, unlike the ones in September where i can see in details all the runs in September ?

Thanks

Thanks guys for sharing. Been doing a bit more read up after I test the solo loops. Most likely I will go for size 4.
