Back to the Woven Nylon Band (Sorry, Sport Loop)

[TypeMRT]

I really wanted to like the Sport Loop but I find the end snags and comes loose on random stuff (sleeves, couch arms, etc) just enough that it’s annoying. I bought a new-in-box authentic Woven Nylon band from an eBay seller for only $20 (The box was sealed and even had an old clearance price tag from Macy’s). The black is actually dark grey/silver because Apple doesn’t really do black color nylon bands. I forgot how much I preferred the stiffer but still flexible band with the metal clasp.
I don’t see why Apple couldn’t keep the Woven Nylon AND the Sport Loop in the lineup.

The nylon loops are real junk. It must cost them .25c to manufacture one of these. The leather loos ar twice as expensive, but they're good quality.
