I’m having alpine (olive green) band that came with AWU2. Within a month the band is showing few dark spots. For context, I use it 24/7 - even for heavy exercises (I run and get all sweaty). And the environment I work out in is quite dusty.

I’m thinking of getting another band to wear in formal/office setting. So couple of questions:

  1. Which one would you recommend? I’m thinking of milanese loop. But when I tried a cheap aftermarket copy, my writs hair started to get stuck in it and it was pretty painful. Will it be the case with authentic apple milanese?
  2. How to take care of band (espeically current one)? Should I occasionally wash it? As of now only thing I do is after my running/gym session (when I’m sweaty), I remove the watch and wipe the band dry. So far it’s not stinking of sweat, but there are few dark spots on it.

Thanks in advance!
