Q: how to stop the nylon watch band from stretching

I've been wwearing my new Apple Watch with the nylon for a month now and I'be noticed that the hole where I buckle the apple watch is stretched out, larger than the rest of the holes. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and how do I prevent it from getting any bigger?

    Hi,

     

    The band is bound to stretch a little but over time. Use the next hole available that is comfortable. Keeping the band clean may help.


    From the support article you posted from ...


    Care and cleaning.

    Keeping your Apple Watch and bands — as well as your skin — clean and dry will maximize comfort and prevent long-term damage to the watch. This is especially important after workouts or exposure to liquids such as sweat, soap, sunscreen, and lotions that can cause skin irritations.3

    Clean your Apple Watch with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. Because Apple Watch is water resistant, you can dampen the cloth with clean water.

    For Apple Watch Hermès, see these instructions for cleaning and wearing Apple Watch Hermès bands.

    1. Learn more about Apple's restrictions on wearables.

    3. Apple Watch is splash and water resistant but not waterproof. You can, for example, wear and use Apple Watch during exercise, in the rain, and while washing your hands. Submerging Apple Watch, however, is not recommended. Apple Watch has a water resistance rating of IPX7 under IEC standard 60529. The leather bands are not water resistant.

     

     

    Since the Apple Watch is still a fairly new product, it helps to provide feedback directly to Apple >  http://www.apple.com/feedback/watch.html


    If the band loosens more, take it to an Apple Store >  http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/
