I always assumed it was because the multiple sizes of Leather Loops and Modern Buckles, as opposed to the OSFA classic buckles they did in both case sizes.
The leather link comes in multiple sizes for each case though.

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.
Yeah so I assume it’s replacing both the LL and the MBThe leather link comes in multiple sizes for each case though.
Sadly I fear you’re right.Yeah so I assume it’s replacing both the LL and the MB
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.May I ask why you returned the blue watch?

Remember the old adage, don't ask the question if you don't want to hear the answerNot 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.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 ).

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 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.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 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!

Gotta say the space gray with that band is a YUUUUUGE improvement over the blue.View attachment 962772

I wouldn’t return it. For $7 it’s a knock offMy titanium watch with a pink aftermarket solo loop from eBay ($7 bucks)
I’m debating returning my OEM charcoal
braided loop to Apple tomorrow. I have until Tuesday.

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’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.
To each their own. I used to wear my Sub on a $10 nato strap.Such a cheap band on such an expensive watch. Shame.
