Flexible, durable infill for silicone watch bands

Beyond the Manual

I’ve made a couple of engraved bands for my daughter but the infill does not last long. She is extremely active, an army combat medic and does (and wins) tough-mudder style competitions for fun…

I’ve used latex and acrylic, neither hold up. The bands are black so I’m using white or silver as a backing. The best results were latex but it does not bond to the silicone, i.e. it peels out after exposure to moisture and such.

have you looked at the 2c silicon bands? those don’t need to be colored in. i see those out there for apple watch. not sure if you’re looking for regular straps or apple ones.
