Apple Watch Sport Band
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Parent context: The bands are made with fluoroelastomer, which is a type of synthetic rubber that includes PFAS for durability and sweat resistance. Apple’s response was that the bands are safe to wear, and the actual PFAS levels haven’t...
- When I workout I want a very tight band so I use a trail loop, solo loop, or sport band.
- I honestly prefer the sport band and kept that on my series 8 24/7.
- The Sport Band is perfectly acceptable for the included band. Comfortable for what it is, decent adjustment.
- My favorite is the sport band. I have a few different bands and always come back to the sport band. It’s by far the most comfortable one to me
Cons
- The fluoroelastomer material contains PFAS, carcinogenic substances. There is already a lawsuit against this in Apple, the exact amount is not known, but there is. I do not recommend using either the sport band or the ocean band.
- PSA don’t swim with Sport Band: 3 Apple Watches found at bottom of Lake Huron
- By any chance, were you using the sport band? I always find Apple Watches with the sport band, I think it’s cause they can pop off easily.
- (The sport band isn’t the best, I know, the Sport Loop wasn’t available. I’ll be getting a different one soon though, any recommendations?)
