Hoping for some input on the new Leather Link bands, my wrist measures in the M/L size (184mm/7.25"). However looking at all the Reviews online, those with wrists in the lower range, the band seems extraordinarily long, the band nearly wraps back around to the watch body. Anyone order the M/L and wish they would have went with the Shorter/Smaller? Own both sizes, thoughts?
 
Similar for me - my wrist is about the same size.

I went with the S/M because I thought the larger size would wrap around a long way and would look odd.

Worked out fine.
 
Yea, if it was a $15 dollar band, I wouldn't care, but these things ain't cheap. I'm leaning towards the S/M. I haven't worn anything that was Small or Medium since I was 14 years old, so this is a change. That info helps David, really appreciated.
 
I tried both and prefer the fit and “wrap around” of the M/L. My wrist is about 7.5 inches. Maybe 8 inches.

On another note, which would you prefer with the graphite SS watch—the black or saddle brown?

Good Info, I like both, but it all comes down to how they Patina for any case color. I just haven't seen many "USED" Band link photos around yet. A well Patina'd Saddle Brown Leather Iphone Case is absolutely gorgeous, just don't know if the watch leather wears or ages the same. The black doesn't age nearly as well in my opinion. Both good, but Personally would go Saddle Brown. I'm trying to be a bit more adventurous and want to try the California Poppy, but how it ages really worries me, the Saddle Brown is probably a safer bet, going to decide in the next day or two.
