Hi,

when choosing the loop size for your new Apple Watch Ultra be careful and don't forget the position of the G-Hook.

Just have a look on how you're using your Macbook (Pro) or any other device. If the G-Hook is at this position it could easily start scratching your device you're typing on.

So choosing a smaller or larger length would be better than choosing the ideal length!
 
This. I got a medium, and the hook is right where my wrist rests, and it's going to destroy my Macbook.
 
I have had an Apple link bracelet since Series 0. I used it with my Apple Watch series 0 / 3 from the first day I got my 2015 MacBook Pro until I replaced it with a MBP Ultra max last year. And in those 5 years, the stainless steel link bracelet did zero damage to my MacBook Pro.

I don’t rest my wrists on my MacBook when I’m using it, regardless of what Watch band I’m wearing, because I don’t want carpal tunnel.

The link bracelet doesn't have sharp edges and matte/rough surface like the new Alpine Loop hook. Not the same situation.
