I am 27F and dress sporty/casual and I live a fairly active lifestyle. I’m indecisive and looking at this band. Does anyone have and love for both style and purpose?! Thanks!!

I just bought a sports band from Nomad with this newfangled closure. Personally I would recommend a more classic style closure, with the lever that goes through the hole and locks stuff down.

Reason: you could very easily pop this off your wrist playing sports. One tug on the tucked-in end and my watch would be hitting the ground at 9 meters per second squared.

Why? Because it’s just stuck on a tiny 1/3 inch post. Looks cool but that’s style over function. I would NEVER recommend swimming with this closure - recipe for sending your watch to the bottom of the pool / lake / ocean.
