Hey, Ocean Band owners, what is your loop position?

[sniffies]

When you put the band through the loop, where does it end up in relation to the loop?

Like so:







Or like so:





I can't decide which position is better.

I'd say go with the bottom. You don't want more than you need hanging off to get caught on things.

They both look good. You can actually move the Titanium piece 1 latch over as well. with the Bottom picture, you won't be able to do that. It all comes down to a personal preference I think.

I do the bottom and latch it over the last bump. This gives the very least amount to stick out.

 

[JWGold]

Why expose any more of the tail than you have to?

 

[Pug72]

Push it over the last bump too.

Mine is like your bottom picture, partially out of necessity. I'm at the third hole from the end!

Can anyone with a 15-16cm wrist show where his ends. Im thinking of getting the ocean band but i dont want it to stick like in this picture.

I do 1 bump for normal wear and tighten it to 2 for workouts, in vain hope that the heart rate monitor works better.

What to the holes in the ocean band do?

The holes allow you to adjust the position of the strap keeper. You move the strap keeper to the hole the best fits your wrist. The second titanium keeper moves to whichever hole you’d like to use.

2 bumps. Gives me the option of loosening it one bump when my wrist swells, or tightening it for when I exercise.

Spoiler, it’s not a loop.

It is a loop.

You realize it’s also to provide stretch and allow you to put the titanium keeper through the holes on the tag end as well to guarantee that it won’t come off in water sports.

IMO, this is the most optimal position, and the one I've been using since day one. As you said, it allows you to tighten or loosen if needed without having to adjust the loop.

The other position only allows you to tighten, but not loosen since it's at the last bump.

This would be my preference, for casual wear at least. The less excess sticking out the end the better. It looks badly fitted with more, as most YouTubers have demonstrated.
