To quote the inestimable Tracy Jordan, I wanna take olive flak behind the middle school and get it pregnant

My watch arrives on Monday with the Meyer yellow loop but i am wondering if i have ordered the right size. I ordered the medium size which caters for up to 185mm. My wrist size is 183mm so i am wondering if i should have gone for the larger loop
You probably should have. I thought I was safe being at the upper range for the modern buckle (165mm) and when I tried it in the store it just barely fit so I changed to large, which corresponded to the medium loop range. I’m gonna hazard a guess a just-barely-fits leather loop is gonna be even worse than a modern buckle because you need the “tongue” to have enough slack to get magnetic purchase once it’s threaded through the hole. Good luck!

Yeah i did wonder. I did speak to Apple and they said that there would be no issue taking it to my local retail store and changing it for a larger size even though it comes with the watch rather than being a separate purchase

If they have one. This thread has me looking at the brown loop - delivery and store availability well into November. Yellow further out.
