Without measuring I figured I'm a big guy and should get the large watch band. But it is really LARGE. I'll have to exchange it for the smaller size. So please measure your wrist before ordering.
Got a tip for us?

I was wondering about this. I've gotten the large bands in the past (I'm a big guy) - but I saw the mm measurements and went, wait, that's REALLY BIG lol. Thank you for the warning.
Which band? Might not be that big.
And along same lines as previous, does not look like sizes have changed re length. I've got my eye on the new gray Sport Loop and the XL is 245mm, like previous bands.
Yeah, it's long, but I find the that the regular size bands tend to be a little too short for me. Can be a bit of a battle to get it over my hand and not a lot of "give", tough to adjust how tight around the wrist (I like them on the looser side and not interested in O2 measurements until I think I need to take one [read: rarely]). XLs provide me with a lot of flexibility/ease of use.
Knock-offs on Amazon tend to be way too small in experience. Says 220mm like Apple but usually are a lot tighter. Need to find something listed bigger than 220mm and hope that somewhat true re description.
Did you really just create a thread to tell us that a large band is......large?
Were you getting Apple Watch Ultra bands and found the larges were too big for your wrist?
Get a medium.
The ultra is a brick 🧱 on my wrist and I pull the strap all the way up in medium and large trail, alpine and titanium Milanese straps
