I have a co-worker who is getting an apple watch series 4 soon and was wondering what the recommended milanese loop knockoff is these days.

I have this one it's fine.

Thinking of going from a S2 42mm to a S4 40mm. I have small wrists so it seems like going smaller while still getting a bigger screen seems logical. My only hangup is battery life. Because i'm getting the smaller of the two S4s, does that mean i'm going to get worse battery life than my S2? My current experience with the S2 battery is fine. It tolerates me forgetting to charge it overnight and maybe takes 2 days before giving up the ghost. I'd rather keep that as a baseline when upgrading.

My 40mm S4 can go two days without charging.

edit: Probably more than that, I don't remember what the battery usually is after the 2nd day but I think it isn't running on fumes.

Are there any good milanese loop knockoffs? A lot on Amazon seem to be too cheap to be any good. I'd happily pay in the $30-50 range for something decent, but everything seems to be around $15 range (which is fine by me if there actually are any good)

The knockoff vendors come and go too fast for anyone to make recommendations. The one I got a month ago for :10bux: is fine, but isn't available any more.

I do not wish to pay $99 for a Milanese Loop. How do you guys feel about the bootleg Milanese Loops on Amazon. Anyone better than another? Also, are the sport loops washable?

I got a decent Milanese loop knockoff from amazon but the product page doesn't exist any more. I think that knockoff brands are generally fly-by-night operations so you just have to play roulette.

IMO 40 mm feels closer to wearing a watch, 44 mm feels like strapping a small computing device to your wrist.

Regulatory cost recovery charge?

Passive-aggressive way of business owners telling the customer "if you want to make us comply with regulations then we will pass the cost on to you, no way are we letting this cut into profits." See also: Healthy SF charge itemized on restaurant bills.

You basically have to gamble on whoever from Aliexpress or Amazon because the knockoff vendors come and go overnight and reviews are mostly faked. They are probably all selling from the same factory or two in China anyway.

If you set it to unlock the watch with the phone then you never have to actually enter the passcode.

I understand that but in what world is “standing up from my desk, walking to the kitchen, pouring a cup of coffee, and walking back to my desk” not standing up and moving around?

IDK maybe it already counted you standing up a little bit ago. Try again in an hour.

The knockoff bands probably come off the same production lines. Once they are finished making the 1,000,000 bands that Apple ordered and can afford to enforce their desired QC standards on, the factory just sends the QC guy home and brings in the cheapest materials they can find to crank out 10,000,000 more for the aliexpress market.
