The Sports Loop would be similar to the Leather Loop which has been available for some time, the band is made from interlocking loops rather than a solid band. It is supposed to help with breathability since under the solid Sports Band if you get sweaty or if your arms is wet the moisture will sort of linger. Definitely worthwhile to check Amazon, what Apple charges for their bands is a total rip-off. You can buy a Milanese Loop stainless steel band with magnetic closure on Amazon for around $20 and Apple charges over $200 (that is here in Canada in Canadian Dollars). In the US it’s no different except that the Milanese Loop from Apple costs whatever it costs in US, maybe $150 or $160 and on Amazon.com you could probably get one for $15.
Regards, Sieghard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Suzanne Wilson Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2017 7:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Quickly Checking the Time with Apple Watch and Other Questions These questions are directed at current Apple Watch users. I like the sound of many of the robust features the Apple Watch offers, particularly once it has cellular capabilities. But I also want to be able to easily and unobtrusively use it as a watch. In other words, once you get used to its functions, can you check the time in a second or two as you would with a Braille or talking watch or do you need to scroll through a bunch of choices first? Also, is changing the volume simple enough to enable you to have Voiceover very soft for when you want to hear the time without drawing attention to yourself but also easy enough to change if you need to listen to an email, etc.? Finally, and this is a different sort of question, what is the difference between the sports bands and the loops? The guy at the Apple store showed me a simple plastic strap, which I'm guessing is the band. But when I got home and looked at the ordering options, I also saw this mysterious loop. Any ideas what that is? Thanks for any help and answers you can give. Suzanne -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
