Loose watch bands on Series 5

Hi,


When I first bought my series 5 about 9 months ago, I realised that there was some wiggle between the bands and the watch. Just yesterday when my girlfriend bought the SE, and my sister bought the Series 6, I realised their watch bands did not have any wiggle, like it was tight fit.


At first I thought the watch bands were meant to be like this hence I did not bother much, but after testing the other series, it seem odd to have some wiggle room on my watch, or rather it felt loose. The bands I was using was the original ones that came with the watch itself. Not to mention, when connecting the bands to the watch itself, it was really easy to slide it in unlike the series 6 and SE which was very snug fit and felt secure.


So I am not sure if all the series 5s are like this, or mine has some defect. I am quite worried it might just disconnect out of a sudden and drop on the floor. Anyone else having the same issue?
