Better Wrist Band for Galaxy Watch8

[Fan05]

I bought the Galaxy Watch8 back when I bought my Zfold7, and I've been loving it ever since. I went for the sport band because I do a bit of running, but after two months of wearing it, one of the little holes is starting to rip. I like the material, it's great for workouts, but I feel like the band is too thin. I want something similar, but with a thicker, more durable material. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. Thank you!

Sometime when we put watch to tight, that can happen.
Its frustrating.
My best idea can be to by a Customer one and see at the same time if Samsung can replace your original one. Maybe this one has a malfunction.
Im very sorry. Im also a runner and I know that.

Thank you so much for the information, I really appreciate it. These wrist bands are comfy, but they're definitely more susceptible to ripping. I'm looking online for more durable options, because If these wrist bands keep ripping, I'll probably be burning through 3 of 4 of these a year, and I'm not about to spend that much money on wrist bands.

Editing my comment because I just remembered these.

Spigen Rugged Armor is fantastic. Had it for my Watch 5. Seems like a good fit for your needs.

Originally suggested stainless milanese bands because they're my favorite, but may not be good for running.

I've never heard of those before, I'll look into those and see which ones would work best.

I did the same, upgraded to the Watch8 shortly after getting my new Fold7. I really disliked the hybrid band that I chose (You're welcome to mine, if you'll pay the shipping.) and swapped it for a fabric band like this one.

I bought from Samsung

No holes, so always the perfect fit and softer against my skin.

I'm curious about that fabric wrist band. If you've used that kind of wrist band, how well does it hold up during everyday wear, and/or workouts?

I wear my watch only when I'm not at my computer or laptop and at night to track my sleep.

I'm 64 and don't work out.

I really like the comfort of the fabric band.
