Doesn’t really bother me. I can’t really see it as the tab is facing away from me. It does help you peel the band off.

yeah, i probably meant it's available now with that band, apple is 3 weeks.
UAG make a good velcro band too, tough as nails.
How does it feel in terms of how sticky the Velcro is compared to the Nike band?
It feels stronger / stickier
Maybe cos it’s new and my Nike loop is more than a year old?
But the velcro on the trail loop is a rectangle and covers the full width of the band, but the Nike is just an oval.
My action button has a completely different sound when pressed than the power button. PB makes a clicking sound, while AB makes no sound when pressed. Do you have the same problem?
Best Apple Watch yet. Really really enjoy both the look and feeling of this Ultra. No issues with small wrists (155mm) as many people ”screams about”.
Did order an alpine band in size M because the size Small did fit well once on the wrist but the struggle to get it thru the loop was a pain every day😅

I very much agree with this. I have over 40 sport loops in my collection. Historically one of my favourite band types! But the Trail loop is a much more modern and premium take on them. I hope they revisit some of the old colours with this new design.
Same wrist size here and thanks for sharing- that’s the setup I’m having an eye on too. Still satisfied with it?
I returned the M size alpine loop because my g hook was on the last loop, i have 150mm wrists.
Glad I returned my S8 and got the Ultra today. It looks and feels a lot nicer and way less chunky than expected. I’m still sticking to my Epix for training, but as an everyday smartwatch and health tracker the Ultra will be hard to beat.
I think i can go for 3 days? Not doing much exercise or driving instructions etc.
I did use the charger cable (fast charge) and a good PD charger this morning and it went from 22% to 100% in under and hour. really impressed with how fast it charges too.
I think it’s a great how so many people are amazed by the ultra once they get one. I know it’s not everybody’s taste but it’s the first redesign of an Apple Watch since 2015 and I love mine. The better battery life and increased screen brightness make it real winner for me and I think it’s gonna get even better once we see more apps been released for the ultra
I went to the Verizon store to check out the Ultra. It looks kinda big on me but I think I will adjust to it. I’m coming from a Series 7 41mm. I do not like the alpine band at all that’s why it’s not positioned properly.

Got this band a while back off eBay and it's an aftermarket of a limited release band for "Complete Your Rings".
Added vibes!

My AWU just got delivered yesterday, with the Blue/Gray Trail band! Agree with you that it is the most comfortable and softest against my skin of all the Ultra bands (tried the Alpine and Ocean bands on in the local Apple Store), and was definately worth the wait! Coming from a Series 4 SB SS model, I barely notice the weight difference and am quickly getting used to the larger case on my wrist. So glad I got it and appreciate the new design and advantages of the Ultra model.

Was the Alpine Loop good for surfing?
I was worried about the g-hook on the Alpine Loop for swimming in case it came undone, so I also got an Ocean Band.
