With the launch of the Watch Series 6 and Watch SE, Apple also introduced clasp-free stretch bands, the Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop. However, sizing them proved to be tricky despite a printable price/size chart, so many buyers found themselves with an ill-fitting band. To make matters worse, Apple’s return policy meant that you had to send back the entire Watch to get the band replaced, a process that could have taken until November.

Apple has now addressed issues of fit and returns, according to MacRumors and several Twitter users. You can reportedly send back the band only and should be able to get the return processed in a matter of days. On top of that, Apple has released a new, more detailed sizing chart for the bands that makes it easier to pick the right size. To use it, you’ll need to print it, cut it out and wrap it around your wrist and the correct size among the nine available will appear between the green arrows, as shown above.

In a recent product update, Wyze outlined its plans for the Wyze Lock, outdoor camera, scale and doorbell cam, as well as the Wyze Band. Official information on the device is a little thin, but ZatzNotFunny has unearthed more details on what we can expect. As well as the usual activity tracking features and weather tools, the band will let users control Wyze devices straight from their wrist, as well as any number of Alexa devices, thanks to built-in Alexa capabilities. Smart phone notifications also appear to be included in the color screen device.

It looks like launch is a few months away yet, with Wyze noting in its product update that it expects to complete the beta phase soon and move on to preparing for the EA launch. No doubt the band — and indeed all of the products Wyze hopes to roll out this year — will be a harder sell, given its massive data breach last year. That being said, while there is no official pricing information available yet, we can expect the Wyze Band to represent an affordable way of getting Alexa on your wrist. With the company no doubt mindful of its security levels and taking steps to tighten its operations that might be enough to convince customers to give it a go.
