Hi,

just measured my wrist and it's and it's between 180-190mm. Depends on how tight it is.

What size would you go for with (alpine and/or trail loop)?

I do have an Apple Watch 6 44mm with standard nike sport band and using the small of the two delivered bands. (but put it on the second biggest hole).

Don't what to go for?
- Trail M/L
- Alpine Medium (M)

Or is it to small/big?
 
Yeah, really surprised there isn’t some comparison sizing tool…. “If yoU were a sport loop 6-9, you’d be an X”

Maybe someone of the reviewer while wearing the watch during Hands On Event?

Maybe someone knows, which size all the watches had during the event?
 
Any opinion how an Ocean Band, max of 200mm would fit a 195mm wrist? Is there something wrong with wearing a band to the upper limit of the measurement? My measurement is 195mm snug or 205 loose.

Aren’t the measurements quoted when you place an order clear enough in mm? 😁

Sure they are, but as I said above I don’t have a soft tape measure to somehow come up with the mm required for my wrist. It would be great if they simply had some comparison to the bands that have been sold and used for the past 3-6 years.

They state the size range for every strap. Google the strap you own and fits you and you will be able to gauge the size of the ones you want to order.

Wrap a piece of string (or one of your phone/watch charging cables) around your wrist. Mark it or grab it with your fingers where it touches, and measure the length against a ruler.
 
My wrist is 180mm and I ordered the S/M (trail) because that’s the model that was in stock for first batch delivery at my local store.

Otherwise I’d have gone with the M/L. 180mm seems to be the max wrist size for S/M but hopefully there’s some wiggle room.
 
So my wrist measures 208mm and even though these “sport loop” style bands (like the “Trail loop”) state the large size fits up to 220mm, it’s not exactly a good fit. The end of the watch band for these sport loop types of bands sit’s on my wrist at the 3 or 9 o’clock position (ie on the side of my wrist). Not a good look. I have a couple of these bands in XL (ie 170-245mm) and a perfect fit (ie end of band sits at the 6 o’clock position). So, for my fellow big wristed comrades…I’m not sure Apple made the Ultra for us.

For the OP….just buy all combo’s of what you think might fit. Keep the one that works and return the others.

The Ocean band has an extension you have to pay £49 for!

My wrist is around the 200 mark depending on when I measure it so not sure my ordered Ocean band will fit.
Not keen on spending 50 quid to do so, so may sell the strap and use something else.

Quite looking forward to seeing what the Dark Cherry leather link look like with it.
 
I measured twice. Once with a printout tool, and a second time with string and measure tool on my phone. Both came up 200mm. I ordered L. I’m hoping I didn’t muck it up somehow, and that my measurement process was good.
