I’ve purchased a 2020 small love (obviously preloved) but in fabulous condition. Obviously it won’t have the new enhanced locking system.
I went for the small as it’s easier to remove, and I would really like to remove it each day. I have horses and I’m concerned about how battered it will get when I’m dealing with them! Especially the amount of time my hands spend in water! However I’m now concerned about the wear and tear on the screw mechanism. I did see on YouTube that nurses etc go for the small so it can be removed easily when they’re at the hospital - so I assumed it can be removed daily. But now I’m worried.
Does anyone else remove this often?
Thanks

The love full bracelets are meant to stay on. The cuff's are what can be removed daily.
Yes I know most keep them on all the time, and that’s the whole idea - but I had heard that some people go for the small as it can be removed more easily than the regular, so is more suitable for those in jobs where it’s required to be removed. However since reading horror stories about the screws I’m concerned!
I did try the cuff but was inbetween sizes so it wasn’t comfortable.
Beginning to think maybe I just shouldn’t have bothered with any sort of love bracelet lol
 
I have a small and I wouldn't feel comfortable removing it everyday. It's not meant to be removed daily, and is meant to be worn 24/7. If you're concerned about knocking it around while working with your horses, try using a tennis wristband, or something similar. It covers the Love and protects it. I'd be concerned that the locking mechanism would loosen up with daily removal.
 
Thanks for the replies. I’ve heard from quite a few people now who’ve been removing them daily for years and not had any issues.
I spoke to my SA yesterday who said the small can be removed daily, but like with any bracelet or watch you need to keep an eye on the lock or catch. He said just to pop it in every few months and he’ll check it for me. Feel more comfortable doing this than wearing it around the horses - one of them is quite a handful and a wrist band isn’t going to protect much when he starts throwing himself around lol

I wear mine daily and never remove it. My SA warned that constant removal can wear down the locking mechanism, but if your SA is okay to check on it, then hopefully it’ll be okay.

Gorgeous bracelet, BTW!
