There’s also some speculation that the new Fall colors that released after the 7 announcement are slightly shorter than the previous bands to make up the 1mm difference between watch sizes.
Interesting! The clover (2021) and northern blue (2020) look the same length to me.Can confirm all my fall21 silicone loops appear to be shorter by usually 1mm.
Below photo of clover (size 5), clover (size 4) and northern blue (size 4) for comparison.
I got the size 5 and it’s heaps more comfortable so I’d be returning the size 4s.
