Transcript

I wear my Apple Watch on my rank, and here's why. For one, I track my workouts daily, and when I track my steps, I just think it's way more accurate. And for two, I switched out my band for a solace bad, and, honestly, they are great. They're super super stretchy. I'm able to actually wear on my ankle comfortably. Between the breathable fabric, the adjustable magnetic closure, and the fact that they're just machine washable, I would never go back to another band. No definitely go check them out.
