Hi guy's I currently wear the apple sport band m/l. I wear it on the 5th hole in from the end of the strap ( 3rd hole coming from the head of the watch) could you please advise on what size I should go for on the braided loop band please.?

P.s. Watch is 44mm


Thank you

I've seen directions on how to measure with a tape measure. The Apple stores have a strap with magnet that they put around your wrist and it points to what size. I was in line for watches in Taipei a couple weeks ago. She measured my wrist for a size 8. When I got to the table with watch bands I was test fit using my watch with an 8 then 7 and finally 6 for the braided loop. So best bet might be to visit an actual store ?

I do not want to visit an Apple Store right now. I measured with the online tool and measuring tape as a size 6. Both loops fit perfectly and the same in a size 6

On line measuring tool has me at an 8.
I got a 7 and it’s a perfect fit.

If you like a tight fit go down a size.

I wear my 44mm watch in the 4th hole on the M/L band (from the end). The online tool using a tape measure had me as a 9 and in store measured the same. I tried on and bought a size 9. It it snug but not tight and is super comfortable.

I've run and biked with it and would not go down a size. (YMMV)

I have the same size in both Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop (received 12/15). Both fit me the same and I would not want to go smaller as the Braided Solo Loop does leave marks as is and the watch doesn't move (not loose, but not to tight).

YMMV
