Hello. I'm wanting to get the Black Leather loop for my SG Sport. I don't really have a way to measure my wrist, so I'm wondering which loop would be the best? I have average size wrist so I'm thinking Medium would be fine? Which one did you guys order? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

42mm Black Leather Loop. Medium or Large for a guy?

I ordered the large and my wrist is about average. I actually tried it on at my fitting appointment. It felt so great, that I cancelled my order for Milanese Loop to order the Black Leather Loop.
I have an 8" wrist and was able to pull off the medium one. There wasn't a lot of overlap though, so if you have similar wrists as me, go with the Large
Same here, with the large if pulled fairly tight a couple of MMs would be past the watch face.
Find a ruler you can print + cut out to wrap around your wrist for measuring. If you're in the size range for the medium I'd go for it. I have 153mm wrists and the medium starts at 150mm, and when I tried it on, there was still >1 inch of tightening room, so there is some leeway with that size.
If you're right on the edge between the medium and large sizes, you could be fine either way, but in that case you should definitely try on.

My wrist is about 181 mm. I went with medium. The large fit but came up just to the watch face when tight. The medium overlapped by 7 or so segments. There was no clear choice but I decided the leather might stretch over time so I went with medium.
Yes, you need the large for your 189mm wrist. My wrist is 180mm. I measured accurately with my metric tailor's tape and have tried on large and medium at the Apple Store side by side. Apple's sizing chart says medium will work up to 185mm, but for me it felt like there was just enough overlap to keep the medium band securely on my 180mm wrist, so any less overlap would feel less secure, and 9mm less overlap would feel like it would fall off.

I got leather loop with my AW6 44mm and been wondering if I got the right size. No possible to try them out anywhere so I got medium loop and my wrist is 170mm, so based on that it should be right size. It feels pretty secure and it is overlapping about 10-11 segments. Just not sure how much it should overlap?
Also is the loop part with the hole supposed to be on the side showing pretty clearly? It is just in the lower "corner" of wrists side and palm side (not sure how to say that clearly, so hope you understood). Isn't loop supposed to be fully on the wrists palm side as "hidden"? Also end of the loop ends about the same location on the opposite side.
Is loop end with the hole of the leather loop longer in large version vs. medium (or just that other part longer)?
I think I could ballpark the difference if someone with large loop would count the total segments of their loop's each part? Mine has 33 and 6 equal segments (not counting the larger ends, just those smaller egual segments).
