The Solo Loop is the first Apple Watch band made from liquid silicone. This strap is a continuous length of material with no clasp, notches, or hardware to touch the wrist. Silicone is generally considered to be hypoallergenic; the body tolerates it well. Since it has no clasp, the Solo Loop is springy and durable enough to stretch the band over the hand. And it holds its original snug shape on the wrist. 

Moreover, it has no loops, holes, or metal bits to dig into your wrist. The stretchy nature of the Solo Loop indicates that it flexes along with hand and wrist movement. This smooth and seamless watch band will stay clean longer since silicone is among the most accessible materials to clean. 

The Right Way to Take Off Your Solo Loop Apple Watch

Taking off your Solo Loop is easy because of its stretchable design. You only need to pull from the bottom of the band to stretch it over your wrist.
