“I would regularly get annoying dermatitis sores with the standard silicone bands that come with Apple Watch. I figured a fabric band would be better and I'll say right up front that if you have that issue, these bands are the way to go. I haven't had that problem with them at all after a couple of years. I decided to give Solace a try because I liked the designs. It took a couple of tries to get the size right because the size that felt comfortable upon first wear (for me that was L) started to stretch out after a few months and got too loose to wear. The smaller size (M) felt a bit too snug at first, but after a few weeks it was fine and held its size much longer. Washing it in the washing machine with laundry brightened the colors when it got dirty, and also tightened it up a little bit. But even then, after about a year it too was getting a bit loose (and starting to look kinda drab even after washing). I liked it enough to order a few more to cover me for the next few years. I'm also trying the fabric style (Paladin Loop Prints) which is even more comfortable at first wear - but I'll have to report back about it long term. So heads up. It's a great band, and I suggest not sending it back if it's a little tight out of the box. It will loosen more and more over time until it's not really wearable unless you like your watch rattling around on your wrist. But if you pick the right size (again, a little snug) it will last long enough (12-18 months) to feel like you got your money's worth.”
“We are absolutely in love with all our bands! I did have issues with finding the right fit, however, their customer service is so fabulous that we were able to get my sizing mix up corrected right away. Hands down best customer support I’ve ever had!”
“I have other colors but my work routine is basic black and this band is perfect! Great customer service when you need them and the bands arrive fast with notification of their arrival. Love it! Even my husband wears them and he is picky!”
“Band needs to be much stronger. I ordered a medium as Im an athletic male but after taking the band off and on a few times the band lost it’s elasticity.”
“I used the measurement guide to choose the correct size for my wrist and found that I was right smack in the middle of the "medium" range, which surprised me because I think my wrist is larger than average. No matter. That is what I purchased. When I received the band, I found that it was a bit tighter than I wanted it, but I assumed that it would stretch a bit with time. In any case, after wearing it for three days I found that it was not uncomfortable. On the fourth day, however, the band broke, coming apart at the plastic end where the band attaches to the watch. I don't know if the tightness of the band had anything to do with the band breaking. If I had it to do over again, I would have ordered a "large." At this point, though, I do not anticipate ever purchasing another band from Solace.”
Hi Jeffrey, We're sorry to hear that. Please reach out to contact@solacebands.com and they will be able to offer you a replacement for the broken/loose band.
