@andycarolan TBH the sport loop bands for the apple watch are super super nice. And there’s plenty of times you can get them on clearance at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. I’ve scored plenty for $16, brand new.

@andycarolan I have moved to (well, kind of) to Polar Vantage V3.

@Aaron I have the normal silicon bands for mine. they are nice. Not tried the loop though.
-
@ornaled Awesome! Probably somewhat overkill for my level of activity lol.
-
@andycarolan yeah, it’s definitely more of a sportwatch than smartwatch, but at the same time it’s incredibly refreshing in how minimalistic it is compared to something like Garmins.
-
@ornaled There's certainly a lot of choice now with smart/sports watches. Can I ask what the charging cycle is like?
-
@andycarolan I think with my use (about 5 40-minutes trainings in a week and with raise-to-wake screen) I charge it once a week.
If you want something with badass battery Garmin Enduro 3 is like power bank. You get something of a month on one charge.
-
@ornaled Well, that's much better than the every-night recharge that my Apple watch needs lol
-
@andycarolan one of the good things about sport watches — battery
-
@andycarolan @jorijn You can get Swatch watches with silicone straps
-
@Pam_Nashes Ooh that's interesting. Thanks! I will take a look
