So I have my watch since yesterday with the braided loop, after I failed with the paperwork I went to the Store to check my wrist, the paper said 6 but in the store it came out that 4 was about right, still a little tight, but as it will stretch I said let's go.

Now I have the band for about 24h (also for sleep) and I have some little marks on my arm as it seems too tight. I try it now again for another day and see if it stretches at least a little, otherwise I might change it for the sport loops.

I bought also a sport loop and tried it on and honestly, its totally different, feels way more natural just due to the fact that it is not so tight.

What are your experiences? Especially to those who wear a braided loop already longer.

It will stretch. Mine still leaves a little mark but I know I will hate the 5 as I can shift it up and down my wrist. With the paperwork, I also measured a 6, but if I pull it really tight I can measure a 5. Like I said, a 4 is snug and a 5 would be perfect out of the box (but the in store 4 and 5 was already loosen so I know I needed a 4).

Is your measurement still a 6 if you pull it extremely tight? If you can make a 5 out of the paperwork, I’d say a 4 is good.

Thanks. Well I won't switch the sizes, I orderd also a 5, so I was able to test both, but 5 was already a little to lose and if it would strech, it wouldn't help. I'm just considering to give it back.

Give it a week since you got 14 days to refund anyways. It’s funny cause I got used to the snug fit vs wearing my sport band again. The braid is expensive but looks quite classy on my blue s6.

Damn I'm waiting for the braided loop. Looking every morning if one apple store close to me has it in stock but currently no store in Germany has one (except pink). I ordered online too but it will arrive late November wtf.

Currently I bought 3 solo loops. In the store they measured a 8 to 9 but I sticked with a 6. I like it more tight especially for workouts and the most of the day its feel so comfortable. Just in the evening its a little bit too tight (but not much). Probably will stick with size 6 when the braided loop arrives.
 
On launch day walked into the Apple Store: Measured 7, got 7, fits great - but I prefer it not overly tight.
I wear it also for the night. Zero issues. Great look with the blue watch.
