The Dual Knit Band combines soft, breathable straps with a counterbalanced design intended to support longer wear. A dual-function Fit Dial adjusts the band's upper and lower straps independently for a personalised fit. The Light Seal magnetically attaches to the aluminium alloy frame and flexes to conform to the face, blocking stray light. Pressing the Digital Crown brings up the Home View, and turning it controls the level of immersion while using Environments.
