Hi, yes just buy the new 44mm Sport Loop from apple. It is ~2cm shorter.
I have 150mm too and the end is ~3cm before the wach body.
Is the Apple sport loop shorter than aftermarkets ones, I have an aftermarket one from Amazon, the tab end is right next to the watch face. The size description (145mm - 220mm) for the aftermarket one and the Apple sport loop is the same, do you think they would be different lengths?

Thanks for the replies.

I think it is the same.
Thank you.

Can you clarify for me the picture you posted above, is the band on the left an Apple 42mm band and the band on the right Apple 44mm band? That tells me that I should try the 44mm loop as opposed to the 42mm one, which is what you meant, right?
 
There is no such thing as a 42mm or 44mm specific band. They are the same bands with only the name changed. Same applies to 38mm/40mm.

Left: Amazon knock off 42/44mm
Right: Apple 42/44mm Sports Loop

No this is not right.
Manny 44mm bands have changed a little bit. They go 0,2mm more inside the body. Because if that the new 44mm lugs are 0,2mm bigger.
Same with the new 44mm milanese.
42mm is flush with the body, 44mm stand out a bit.

The new 44mm sport loops are a bit shorter.
Top the new 44mm. Middle 42mm.
Bottom 42mm XL version.

Thanks so much for spelling it out. I will be looking out for a 44mm Apple sport loop.

Thanks for being helpful. That helps out a lot, the 44mm Sport Loop should be the one I am looking for. The little less length is exactly what I am looking for.

When I wear my 40mm the sport loop strap-end does exactly sit like it does in this screen shot. 160mm wrist and 40 mm watch.
Unfortunately I have a 42mm S3 and need a shorter Sport Loop, 44mm might be the one I am looking for then.

If there are any aftermarket equivalent to the 44mm length then I would also be open to that.
