Trail Loop / Ultra 2 Fit?

[ghsDUDE]

Is the fit in this Apple Trail Loop within spec? Just got my Apple Watch 2 and I’m wondering if this looks normal 🤔

My lug may be a little closer to flush than yours, but it's not dead-on. Thanks for giving me something new to obsess over!

And it's time to update your sig!

Both yours look like mine does, I’d say based on that it’s normal.

So I flipped the watch band and tried it on the other side and it now over hangs slightly on the other end. I have to assume the slight overhand is due to the watch band (and not the watch).

By the way, how do you wear the Trail Loop? The orientation is different than the Sport Loop.

Loop at the top of the watch, fixed end at the bottom: that’s the way the picture in the band packaging showed it IIRC. I suspect it doesn’t really matter though.

I'm just the opposite: loop at the bottom, fixed end at the top.

Mine looks similar, but it rattles when the haptics are particularly prominent. It wasn't an issue with trail bands on Ultra 1.

Maybe it is a trick of the light in that photo, but my lugs are VERY tight tolerance and not sticking out in the slightest on the Alpine Loop. For like 5 minutes I thought I would hate the band and wished I got a Trail Loop. Not so any more. Very comfortable and the best color match to the new Titanium iPhone 15 PM.

My trail loop is pretty flush on the sides, but did have a little wiggle on the bottom connector which feels somewhat cheap to me.

Connector wiggle isn’t anything new. Sometimes a band will have it. I have several bands that are really wiggly on one end but the majority are fine.

Agreed, but something about wiggle when it's metal against metal really grates.

My problem with the trail loop that I noticed at the Apple Store is the fabric feels to thin at the connector.
