Is there a particular correct way to wear the sport loop band? I just got my Apple Watch Series 10 with one and my friend told me I had it on backwards.

I wear mine with the velcro part going down. My friend said the velcro part should be on top. So like my velcro 2 layer that sticks is on the bottom side of my watch on my wrist and my friend said it should be on the top part of my watch.

Who is right or does it not matter / there is not a correct way?

It doesn't matter. I wear the loop bands always with the loop at the bottom. Whichever way you like it is the correct way.

The official way - per the in-the-box instructions - is (was?) the fixed end at the top of the watch.

Not sure if this is still included with current sport bands.

Functionally it's not going to make a difference, do what works for you.

It doesn't matter, just personal preference. I prefer mine with the loop/velcro side on the bottom, that's how I wear the Sport Loop on my AW8 and the Trail Loop on my U2.

IMO: Loop on bottom evens out the visual weight created by the Digital Crown; putting the loop on the top lug makes the watch look un-even on my wrist.
