The ActionSleeve 2 is a strap that holds your Apple Watch. You can then attach that strap to any part of your body on which it fits. This will most likely be a limb of some variety.<\/p>\n<p>So, why would you want something like the ActionSleeve 2? In my mind, that answer is twofold.<\/p>\n<p>The first is if you don\u2019t want to get your fancy Apple Watch strap messed up during exercise. The second is the real kicker though: there are some exercises where having your Apple Watch on your wrist is an inconvenience.<\/p>\n<p>For me, it\u2019s any sort of kettlebell work. For others, it could be things like crossfit, tennis, weightlifting, or any sport that requires constant wrist movement. This leads us neatly onto the next question\u2026<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_Twelve_South_ActionSleeve_2_a_good_fitness_band_for_the_Apple_Watch\"><\/span>Is the Twelve South ActionSleeve 2 a good fitness band for the Apple Watch?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a>ly, yes. The ActionSleeve 2 is well-made and basically does everything you\u2019d expect a strap to do. It\u2019s comfortable to wear and feels like it\u2019s built to last.<\/p>\n<p>The problem I\u2019ve encountered is more an issue with the Apple Watch. Basically, when the sensors on the Apple Watch leave your skin, the wearable locks and pauses the workout. There is no way to stop this, as it\u2019s a built-in security system.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this is a problem I\u2019ve bumped into while wearing the\u00a0ActionSleeve 2 \u2014 especially when it\u2019s on my upper arm. Whenever the muscle flexes (yes, I\u2019m SWOLE), the Apple Watch locks.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, just strap it somewhere that doesn\u2019t shift too much during exercise. After rigorous and super scientific testing, I\u2019ve concluded it\u2019s best to use it on your ankle. You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-featured_img wp-image-1358577 js-lazy\" alt=\"Apple Watch exercise strap Twelve South ActionSleeve 2\" width=\"796\" height=\"1053\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Apple-Watch-exercise-strap-Twelve-South-ActionSleeve-2-796x1053.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Apple-Watch-exercise-strap-Twelve-South-ActionSleeve-2-796x1053.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Apple-Watch-exercise-strap-Twelve-South-ActionSleeve-2-159x210.jpg 159w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Apple-Watch-exercise-strap-Twelve-South-ActionSleeve-2-204x270.jpg 204w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Apple-Watch-exercise-strap-Twelve-South-ActionSleeve-2-102x135.jpg 102w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Apple-Watch-exercise-strap-Twelve-South-ActionSleeve-2-1592x2106.jpg 1592w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2021%2F06%2F29%2Freview-twelve-south-actionsleeve-2-apple-watch-exercise-armband%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: This is what my ActionSleeve 2 looks like.

If not, maybe look into something like an external heart rate monitor that can sync to your Watch.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, there\u2019s not much more to say about the Twelve South ActionSleeve 2 than that.
