Do any of you guys/gals sleep with the leather link on? Does it come off at night when you move around?
Got a tip for us?

I wear mine every night no issues, its also easy to loosen of a notch in the night if my wrist swells from my Carpel Tunnel
I sleep with it on and no issues with it loosening or coming off. I have 10 to 11 pills of overlap though.
I never sleep with my leather bands, i find that it gets bit sweaty under the leather. i swap it out to my nylon sport loop for bed. I usually wear my leather for the office or whenever i go out, but since I’m working from home since covid started I actually been wearing only the nylon sport loop. Anyone else in the same situation? I almost feel like i wasted money on the leather bands lol...
Don’t get me wrong, LOVE the new leather link! Not sure which one is better yet between my leather loop or leather link for comfort, but visually the link looks so much better.

Not leather but i have the metal chain mail link and I don’t wear it at much anymore since working from home. Just the nylon since I workout in the middle of the day.
To be honest, with graphite pretty much all leather link colours looks good. Personally I like brown and black only.
also anyone having issues with their leather link loosening over the day? Been wearing it more during the day when working from home to test it out more, but noticed throughout the day the band loosens so much and have to readjust the band.
I actually just picked up a black leather link band over the weekend. My first one. First impressions are great super comfortable. However I just came searching for this thread as I’m having the same issue as you. It keeps loosening to the point it’s going to fall off. Not sure if it’s defective or if I’m doing something wrong.
What size you get? I got S/M and have about 10 bumps in on the overlapping strap which should be plenty for magnetic strength. I can confirm the magnetic strength is good, but may be how some people may be wearing it. When I’m wearing a dress shirt I wear the watch bit lower on my wrist which seems to cause loosening over time. However if I wear it higher on the wrist seems to hold tight longer
I have small wrist so I went with the s/m and confirmed that with the recommendation of the apple store employee before accepting my pickup. I have 11 overlaps. Should be more than enough. I wear it in the same spot as usual. But higher up not a fan of it interfering with my wrist bending. I’m probably just going to deal with it because I like how soft it is and how it looks. Just wish it was more secure
Baltic Blue with S5 SS. The chronograph pro and California is faces are ? with this combo!

my wrist is about 190mm and I use the s/m. Fits good with about 8 links overlapping
Dang how is that possible when apple says it only fits up to 180mm wrists? I've passed on so many S/M ones because I didn't think they would fit ?
@thekidat
I called Apple tech support for the watch. I explained that I had the larger LL and the band wrapped around almost to the top of the watch, where there was only three to four links at the top without overlap. They suggested I try the s/m instead. It is a little harder to get the s/m to wrap around, but when it does, at least I am not “swimming in band”. I find it hard to measure my wrist, but when I use a tape measure it is about 175mm.
interesting, when I compare the end points of the Milanese Loop with the leather link, both overlaps now end in the same place when using the s/m size LL.

So, so sick.
With the right faces and color combo this band delivers quite a level of style.
Totally agree it’s all about the right combo of color and watchface. Ironically the California and chronograph pro are so damn good with every band combo the secret is finding the right color for that extra ?.
Hi everyone, which one do you recommend with the blue case? I ordered the baltic blue for now but I also really like the poppy yellow but I can't decide if it sounds out of place or not in the long run it can get tired?
I'm tempted to also order the poppy yellow and then decide between the two. What do you think about that?

i tried that... ordered baltic blue and black to help my decision which one to keep. Bottom line: the weak me failed ☺️both straps are still with me and i love and wear em both.
so.. buying and wearing both sounds valid.. and sell, if you get tired/bored using it
