Apple Watch Series 6, particularly interesting watch straps have also appeared: the Apple Watch Solo loop in a smooth and a braided version. The special feature is the closure of the bracelets - they simply don't have any more, but are simply slipped over the wrist. It doesn't sound like a major innovation at first, but it could have a big impact on ambitious watch wearers such as outdoor fans, active travelers, fitness athletes and runners. The biggest drawback: the price. We have in our Apple Watch Solo Loop Test subjected the braided version of the bracelet to the stress test.

The thing with the right bracelet for a smartwatch is usually this: the wearer has the choice between a bracelet that is adjusted with buttons - as a rule, the watch strap is either a little too loose or a little too tight - for example Apple Watch Sport Armband. Alternatively, watch fans can also choose a variant with a stepless, magnetic clasp. Experience has shown that the clasp then warps again and again and you have to readjust it at least a few dozen times during the day.

This is the case with me, for example, with the Milanese bracelet of the smartwatch and the Apple Watch Sport loop the case. With the Apple Watch Solo Loop the fiddling is finally over. The new bracelet, which is available in a matt, smooth and braided version, promises the perfect fit - as long as you choose the right size. What can the new braided Apple Watch Solo loop? Is it worth buying? And what do you have to pay attention to before buying? I have given you my most important insights into the new one watch strap for the Apple Watch for your convenience.

Overview – braided Apple Watch Solo loop

• Apple Watch Series 6 has also appeared a new generation of sporty bracelets: the Apple Watch Solo Loop, which is available in a smooth and matte version as well as a braided version.
• The new Apple Watch Solo loop bracelet no longer has a clasp, but is simply slipped over the wrist.
• The Apple Watch Nylon strap is available in up to 12 different sizes - buyers will need to measure to determine the correct size.
• The biggest drawback: the price for the braided version of just under 100 euros.

First impression - braided Apple Watch Solo loop in the test

My first impression of the new braided one Apple Watch Solo Loop was ambivalent. Because my first thought was: such a small piece of fabric for so much money? Didn't I make a mistake there? I had to pick up the little ribbon and play around with it a bit. I then noticed relatively quickly how high-quality the braided fiber felt. I've been wearing the band for almost four weeks now and it still looks like new, even though I wear it every day.

Luckily I bought the bracelet locally in the store. Because I had previously measured size 8. However, it was way too big for me. So I shared with one Apple-Employees tried it until we found size 5 to be the best fit. We were surprised ourselves that I needed such a small size. However, there are increasing reports that the bracelet is generally very large.

However, once we had determined the optimal size and put the watch on, I immediately realized the strength of this bracelet: it no longer has a clasp and just fits perfectly. It can be slipped over the wrist in two seconds, does not slip and is particularly ideal for sports and outdoor activities. And try something like that around with that Apple Watch Solo Loop actually "love at first seat". In my Apple Watch Solo Loop Test I would like to go into a little more detail and show you what strengths and weaknesses the bracelet has and whether it is worthwhile for you to buy the little piece of fabric.

Braided Apple Watch Solo loop for sports and outdoor activities is awesome

The braided Apple Watch Solo Loop is especially great for sports and outdoor activities. The optimal fit ensures that activities and vital signs are recorded particularly precisely. The measurement of the heart rate currently works much more precisely and consistently for me. It is interrupted much less often than before. In addition, I don't have to keep adjusting the bracelet while jogging. One has with the braided Apple Watch Solo loop still has some leeway during sport and can slide the strap back and forth on the wrist to correct the fit, if you want.

The same applies of course to all outdoor activities. In my numerous smartwatch tests, I have found that many manufacturers offer high-quality watches - unfortunately save on the straps. Even if you buy expensive optional bracelets, you get relatively mediocre products. The braided Apple Watch Solo Loop is made for outdoor use due to its robustness and stability and is completely safe for everyone Adventures to have. There are simply no more parts on the bracelet to get stuck with. And on the other hand, it is so robust that it doesn't break if you use it.

With the braided Apple Watch Solo Loop Tame sweat, water and salt water

The braided Apple Watch Solo Loop is incredibly robust and designed from the ground up for all sporting uses. Accordingly, it is of course particularly breathable, water-resistant and sweat-repellent. You can safely carry out all activities that have anything to do with water - this of course includes swimming, snorkeling or simply taking a shower and washing your hands.

I haven't tested the bracelet in salt water yet. Judging by the robustness, this shouldn't be a problem. As with all products, this is probably recommended Apple Watch Rinse the Solo Loop with fresh water after using it in salt water. I would refrain from detergent of any kind - just because Apple advises against the Apple Watch treat with cleaners.

The strengths and weaknesses of the smartwatch bracelet

The braided Apple Watch Solo Loop has many strengths and relatively few weaknesses. I am extremely happy with this one after four weeks Apple-Watch bracelet of the latest generation. The most important strengths include the high quality of the bracelet. According to the manufacturer, 16.000 threads of 100 percent recycled polyester yarn are woven around thin silicone fibers. The band is stretchy and tear-resistant.

After four weeks of continuous use day and night, it simply shows no signs of wear. The feel is incredibly pleasant and high quality and it feels very good on the skin. The design is absolutely timeless and elegant, as one is often used to from the manufacturer. So the braided one can Apple Watch Solo Loop can be worn for sport and fitness, casual in everyday life or with a business outfit.

The downside is basically that this is the only bracelet Apple to buy directly - either in the online store or in the stationary Apple store. Other dealers do not offer this original bracelet. Ordering the bracelet online has its pitfalls. You have to measure beforehand and, if you're lucky, have the appropriate size sent to you. However, experience has shown that this does not match.

I can therefore only recommend the bracelet in the Apple Try it on in the store and work with a member of staff to determine the right size. I can only repeat it: I had previously measured very precisely and determined size 8. In the end, you fit me in size 5. In addition, you have to decide whether you buy the Solo Loop smaller and wear it very tight or one size larger and then wear it very loose. You can't readjust it. In addition, the price is of course very controversial.

Just under 100 euros for a small piece of fabric is definitely a lot of money. But I would say that you are clearly paying for the perfect fit of the bracelet here and, thanks to the very high quality, you can really enjoy the product for a long time. I estimate that I will wear the bracelet for two to four years - I may order it again in a different color. Overall, the strengths outweigh the weaknesses of the braided one Apple Watch Solo Loop - so I can give you a very clear buy recommendation at this point.

Braided Apple Watch Solo Loop Test – who is it worth buying for?

My detailed conclusion

No matter which Apple Watch Bracelet you buy - you always make certain compromises. Either a loop sits comfortably, but it doesn't look so pretty. Watch straps that look good often sit uncomfortably. And depending on the closure, there is no stepless adjustment. The braided Apple Watch Solo Loop is the best-fitting smartwatch bracelet I've ever had and it's really the only bracelet I still need at the moment - because it also looks relatively elegant and timeless and can therefore be worn in all situations - even in everyday life and to a business outfit.

Ideal for active people

The Solo Loop is definitely ideal for active people. The new Loop is the ideal product for anyone who uses their smartwatch extensively for sports, fitness or outdoor activities. No bracelet has ever fitted me better. The recording of my vital data has become even more precise than with all the slipping and not perfectly fitting bracelets.

Find the right fit

The right fit for the braided Apple Watch Finding Solo Loop is problematic at first: You can measure as precisely as you want, the bracelets tend to be much too big. I measured a size 8 - the perfect fit was in my size 5. Sizes 7 to 9 were all much too big. As a rule, buyers should therefore have no choice but to use the braided one Apple Watch Solo loop directly in Apple Store (it's only right at Apple available stationary or online) and definitely try them on in the store. On the other hand, there is the horrendous price of just under 100 euros.

So much money for a small piece of fabric?

At first I asked myself: So much money for such a tiny piece of fabric?! And my answer is yes, it's okay to get the braided one Apple Watch Solo loop to buy despite the price. Because my smartwatch has never sat so well on my wrist - and the Solo Loop is definitely the only wristband I'll need for the near future. The braided one should count on the days I will wear it Apple Watch Solo Loop can be significantly cheaper than many other wristbands that have a lower purchase price.
