Ordered the Alpine green loop but I still have some questions that I'm sure will get answered prior to delivery. How thick is it? Weight? What does it look like on the wrist for smaller waisted people? etc. Figured if I waited to order it until I had the answer, I'd be in October or November at best.

my wrist seems to be 175-180mm
medium is 145-190 but L is 165-210mm
think there would be too much slack with the large alpine band?

Also ordered the Ultra w/ Trail Loop with an October 20-27 delivery. Went back and saw the Green Alpine Loop had a September 23rd delivery date, so I ordered it too. Will more than likely cancel the Trail loop if the shipping date doesn't change. Looks great and I am excited for a larger Apple Watch with some ruggedness! I am hoping that case is as durable as my Space Gray Titanium Series 5 has been. Not a scratch after heavy use!

measured my watch band where it cinches and its closer to 190 so I went for large

From past experience, if you want it on the official day, you may need to order with a crappy band, the popular ones sell out fast, order bands separately.

My trail loop order was delayed until October, so cancelled it and went full
-on with the ugliest option and got the midnight ocean band delivering on Sept 23rd. 🤣

‘Looks like all the trail loops sold out quickly. Hopefully Apple will have some bands for sale on the site soon.

I got both orange alpine (sept 23) and black/grey loop (Sept 20-27). Not sure which one I want.

I go to the gym a couple of times a week so I need the Ultra in my life. Ordered with orange Alpine with Sept. 23 delivery. Ordered the watch with the medium band but also ordered the small band in case the medium doesn't fit well enough. I'm terrible with these sizing charts.
