I had no idea that third party straps connected differently! Thanks for the info.

I have had two third party straps tear off, once during boxing and once while playing with my kids. The (much pricier) Apple ones never have, and so I only use those for sport as well.

Surprised that you don't take the watch off during boxing, is that supported? (Not saying you can't do whatever you want with it, just that are they really that durable?)

There's a "boxing" workout, but yeah it tore apart the third-party band I was using. Since then I have used my older Apple bands for boxing workouts and it survives. The watch itself is totally fine

Once I had a third-party strap tearing off while I was cycling. I was lucky it happened during a break. Since then, I only use original apple straps for any sport.
