The new band moves your Apple Watch from your wrist to your arm, allowing you greater range of movement at the gym and protecting your device from nicks and dings.
TwelveSouth has a new Apple Watch band for fitness fanatics and gym gurus alike, giving you more options to comfortably wear your Apple Watch while working out.
The new ActionSleeve 2 is designed to be worn on the bicep or forearm, allowing for a greater range of motion at the wrist. This is particularly useful for those lifting weights, doing pushups, or playing sports that require dexterity.
When inside the ActionSleeve 2, the Apple Watch screen, lock button, and Digital Crown are still readily accessible. TwelveSouth states that as long as the wearer makes sure the strap is tight, the Apple Watch will still be able to track progress and when worn on the wrist.
The ActionSleeve 2 can be purchased directly from TwelveSouth for $39.99, and features free shipping and 30-day returns for those in the United States. It works with the Apple Watch Series 4 through Apple Watch Series 6, including the Apple Watch SE.

A solution for a problem that doesn’t exist lol.
Because the first thing you want while doing push-ups or doing any bicep related workout is a “tight enough” strap around said bicep.
I play soccer, I can’t have anything around my wrist when I play. This works for me. It is a specialized need
How does this affect any movement aggregation algos that assume the watch is worn on either wrists?
I wonder if the heart rate monitor would work better up on your arm. When I work out, half the time the Watch can't detect my pulse. This is especially stupid when I am working out to Fitness+ and my heart rate is supposed to be on the screen I'm looking at.
