See a lot of band on Shopee for less than 10. Anyone tried? Thinking of getting those colorful braided band or Milanese for fun
My initial focus was on Trail Loop. But after gotten the ocean band, I really like it over Trail Loop now as it's suitable for me as sometimes hot and humid, it will not caused the band to be smelly.

Ya I ordered the while ocean with the watch for occasional going out. And another storm blue sport loop for every day use which looks like trail loop. Only the sport loop arrived. Another 3 weeks for the watch to be delivered. Sad

I just tried to use a <$10 colorful braided solo loop but it wouldn't slide in. That fitted my AW7, though. Different head? Will take a closer look in the morning.

Wah...I'll never shower with watch on. After returning from work, the watch comes off liao. :p
Hahaha i work out everyday bro so no choice have to shower with it as i lazy take off the strap to wash
Same. When reached home, I took off and go shower then dinner. I will wear it again before I go to bed as it's also my alarm clock. So, per day, it will be around 3 hours on my table or on the charger.
Seems like i am the only daring one to wear it to shower:s13:
Your watch must be "pang pang" daily.. :ROFLMAO:
:s13: must shower after a tiring day no?
My routine is before sleep put it on charger and charge overnight, also acts as my alarm. Wake up put on watch, after work remove watch and the cycle repeats before I sleep.
U still charge everyday with AWU ah bro? Think too used to normal AW battery life so must charge before sleep :s13:

OK, remembering that these bands are supposed to be compatible, I tried another <$10 one that fitted my AW7. My conclusion...the quality matters.

I'll stick to my originals for now, Ocean over Alpine since the former IMO is lower maintenance.

Alpine surprisingly fast drying after wash.

Gave it a quick rinse, squeeze dry and use towel to pat dry. left it on the counter top. after a while, while its not 100% dry, its in a state whereby its comfortable to wear already

Of Course I shower lar but without watch.. I use ocean band and I wipe with wet wipes and it's easier to clean than loop.
