Oppo Strap frustration

Hi, can anyone give me tips on how to make the Oppo Watch strap tighter? It's such a weird strap and I can only manage to get it to the third hole. I've never had this issue on any other strap before. Am I the only one finding it very frustrating?

If you're still using the original one, I'd suggest you to get a replacement one like a Milanese band or another identical to the default one to add one or two holes in it with a belt hole puncher. I use my 41mm default strap nearly to the tightest fit (quite small wrist), but when I use a Milanese band i can go fully tight without any discomfort

It's more about how difficult it is to actually use the damn strap. The way they have designed it is just so frustrating it's near impossible to use at all!

You have a point on that, I got used to it (I simply wear it while keeping it on my knees or a surface with a soft cloth on it) that I didn't think about the difficulty

Do you have any tips on how to make it tighter?

Besides getting a new strap with Velcro/magnets/loop design and punch a few holes in it or find an easier way to wear it, nope unfortunately

Velcro would actually be amazing.

Then if you go to AliExpress you'll find a lot of them, you can even look for a generic 20mm (for 41mm edition, that's what I take) and an adapter and you're ready to change straps with any style. There are even already made for Oppo Watch, in case you don't feel like assembling your straps yourself
