My skin is sensitive to certain materials. So I can only wear sport loops with Velcro and some silicon bands, although not all. This was is soft and is perfect for my skin. The magnetic loops are never as secure as latches and velcro, but this one holds just fine. I put the slightly longer side on the top of the watch and the shorter side goes over the longer at the bottom of your wrist. This gives the maximum grip in my opinion. I’ve played baseball with it, rode motorcycles with it, etc. Stays on great.
