For all existing Apple Watch I think you can pause/ resume workout by pressing the crown and side button at the same time. No need action button for that.

Press one button is still easier than 2 buttons. Moreover most people wear on left arm, hence easier to use your thumb to press rather than index and middle finger. It's all about ergonomics.

Anyway I just visited Orchard Apple Store and took a look at their demo trail loop. It's very soft and a little stretchy. Think among the 3 new bands for the Ultra, the trail loop is the most comfortable. Still I find alpine loop is most suitable for my purpose.

The trail loop is still not available to purchase so online order only. The other 2 are available for purchase.
Thank you! I don’t know why trail loop is in high demand. Hope you get your trail loop soon.

Too eggcited! First time doing unboxing lol

I have the same thought as you! I wanna get the alpine loop but this is the only stock available so I just get it.
hahah cos im using the nike loop since my s3 days and sport bands .. i like the soft touch and the feel of the nike loop .. and hence the reason why i have been going for the alpine and trail loop kind of quality ..

Nice! The trail loop has this soft cottony feel, that's why it's so comfortable. I perspire a lot while cycling so it's not suitable for me. Ocean band more suitable if I do a lot of swimming or water sports.

si bei free ah u, still take unboxing beedeo :s13:
I even noticed the drumroll at the beginning! :s13:

Haha how come the trail loop in high demand ar? Tbh nothing special about it leh.
Maybe it being "rare/missing" makes people feel it's special, thus the demand? I'll most probably just use my existing knockoffs for the time being... 🤔

Even for silicon bands, I find the Ocean more comfortable than the Sport Band. Because of the "waves", I don't feel that the whole band is sticking to my skin, which can get rather uncomfortable.

I saw a youtuber says he suffered rashes from the ocean band. I quite like ocean bands tbh, thinking to hoot those knock offs from shopee

My knockoff ocean arrived and I'm using it now. So far so good, but then I don't really have sensitive skin.

It's about the same length, but narrower than Apple's. The ring is not adjustable too. Want to play with colors so just make do. 😆

I've never posted photos here since it's too much of a hassle to me... I'll find you a link to see the difference. I came across a review earlier... ;)

I rinse the watch and strap after every use to keep it as clean as possible. In that instance when I fell while riding 2 days ago, the alpine loop then have to be washed with soap in order to get rid of the dirt stains.

OK, I took a closer look. The buckle is a full piece, but the loop is actually adjustable. So the loop is not a full piece but instead can be taken out and moved to a new slot. :)
