Nike loop length vs. non-Nike loop length

[xraydoc]

I have a 44 mm S4. Just received the Nike Olive Flak sport loop I ordered from the Apple Store. I noticed when I put it on that it seems shorter by about 1 cm as compared with my two other non-Nike sport loops. All three of my loops are Apple original/genuine.

I haven't yet taken it off the watch and laid it down against the others to physically compare, but will do so this evening.

Doesn't create a problem for me thankfully, as both apparent sizes fit, but it's a curiosity. Anyone else notice this?

Yes, they changed the length. I forget starting what season but it’s been a while. My Crimson almost loops all the way back to the other side of the Watch... where’s as my Spruce Fog is half way (underside, center of my wrist). Having worn the latest season Nike bands the most, the Crimson seems comically long now.

Makes sense. My two non-Nike loops are both from the Series 3 days.
