Got the Inverness green braided band this afternoon.

measurement tool said 7, ordered 6.
Wanted to test 5,6 and 7 in the store while picking up. Tried 6 first was good fit and tight enough, 7 was slightly loose but not loose enough to move, so could have gone with 7 but walked out with 6. Didn’t try 5 it would have been very tight in my wrist.

May I ask why you returned the blue watch?
 
I liked the colour first and got it but after wearing it for 2 days didn’t like it much ( felt like a toy watch ). I had a series 4 space grey and have lot of bands that match space grey and some of those didn’t match blue.

Not what I want to hear, I’ve got a blue watch on order. 😂

I’m not in the market for a new AW at all yet, but this is the kinda feeling I get when I look at the blue watch.

Seems a bit gimmicky.

Looks fine if you’re using it for fitness etc I’d say but if you’re using an AW as your sole day to day watch like I do, it doesn’t really work.
 
I recently ordered a braided loop in size 9 which was despatched and delivered within a week (despite tracking saying November). The 9 was way too big so I have an 8 on order.

I went into the Apple store MK yesterday, as they had 7’s in stock. He couldn’t let me try it on but tried my size and I was low end of an 8. He suggested I buy it and return it if it wasn’t right. So I did and I did. It was way too tight (for how I like to wear them anyway) so returned it 10 minutes later.

Just hoping the 8 is ok.
 
Anyone have a blue watch with the charcoal sport loop? Could you put up some pictures please. 📸⌚Still waiting on watch and band to arrive. 👀⌚

I was at the Apple Store this afternoon looking at this exact combo. I've been considering the Graphite SS but the more I look at the Blue Aluminum, the more I like it. It's actually quite striking and looks really good with the charcoal sport loop. Unfortunately (or fortunately!) it was sold out otherwise I might have walked out with one.

Hopefully yours arrives soon. Great choice!

I would guess it was to do with magnet strength not being enough in the inevitably-thinner band. Hence the change in design to alleviate the issue and bring it to both sizes.
I got a third party leather band for my 40 mm: size, thinness and magnet strength are not an issue. I think apple's decision relate more to an I'll designed exclusivity attempt.

Try having a red one! No offence to anyone that bought the red, but there’s no way I could wear that every day. It’s way too “in your face”

I always think that watches should be understated, that goes for my mechanicals and my AW.
