I’d try the nylon weave band if the sport band bothered your skin. I was surprised it didn’t bother mine. The nylon bands are very comfortable and can be adjusted more easily to fit a larger variety of wrist sizes. They also come in a range of colors.
I haven’t tried the boarding pass thing yet and sadly I’ve only found 1 place that took Apple Pay and that was a Best Buy store. I love it when it’s available. What app do you use to do the boarding pass? I have the Tile app and Tiles and love them. Yes, the app on the Watch is much easier to use. In the phone app, go to the Map button in the lower right corner of the main screen. Tapping on this takes you to a screen where your tiles are shown by the names you give them when you set them up. Unfortunately, VO and this list don’t play well so you might tap on one and see in the next screen that you’re dealing with another tile. The Watch does not have this issue at all and it’s easy to find the tile you want to trigger. I have it as a glance now. I also use mine for medication reminders and the app Due for other kinds of reminders, especially recurring or long term ones.
