Apple Watch Ultra Trail Loop Bands

Got this from the Leeds Apple Store today. (M/L)
Not returning, but for me the M/L is too short and I have difficulty getting it around my hand; the pull tab prevents the strap from extending all the way into the lug. Once on the wrist it is just fine.
I have a similar issue but it seemed to also exist with the sport loops as well (except for the one XL sport loop I have which is overly long)
Well I got fed up with waiting for my black s/m so ordered the tan/yellow one too. Naturally the minute that one shipped I got a moved up shipping date for the black one which is now arriving Monday! So, received the yellow one today and was prepared to return one of them but I just totally LOVE it and will want to keep them both!!! So comfy and light. Mind you, with my tiny wrist the pull tab sits right next to the watch which looks a little weird but hey I don’t care. I will say that the s/m trail is not as small as the orange alpine loop. Anyway I am awash in Ultra bands now — orange alpine, yellow ocean, tan and soon to arrive black trail loops. Awesome!
My Black/Grey M/L from Verizon is arriving tomorrow. I also have the Blue/Grey M/L and I love it. But for workouts (biking, running and lifting weights) my preferred bands are the Ocean bands. I have the three Ocean bands colors and now two Trail Loop bands. Keeping the Trail Loop bands for every day use, though. I need a bigger drawer for my bands, glasses and wallets LOL
I agree they’re very comfortable far more than the Alpine Loops and Ocean Bands. Plus the Velcro fasteners are definitely stronger then those on the Sport Loops.
Got one from Etsy. Good width (for Ultra) about 1" elastic and very comfy. Not Trail loop but maby even better for less
Well I returned my blue/grey ML trail loop. It seems like it’s so light weight that I had to tighten it too much on my wrist to keep my ultra in place which I didn’t like the tightness feeling. My Alpine loop stays in place better without being tight on my wrist…….. Maybe it’s just me…..but its my money lol
Oddly enough the old loops which are not as stretchy don’t bother me.

Well my black M/L was scheduled for the 14th - 21st November and has just changed to preparing to ship so should arrive in the middle of next week

You may tell the difference when it'll break)
Be aware.
This is a worry, and not worth the risk imo. I was going to get a knock-off until I read a number of bad experiences.
And this doesn't surprise me at all. Cheap alternatives are the way to go with most things, but this? I don't think so.

Just got delivery of my Trail Loop Black/Grey M/L from Verizon!!
I’m starting to like the black/grey trail loop.
It’s subtle but the orange tab pops when you see it.
Nike faces need a bright orange to match it though

With the Nike Hybrid face, the tab matches with the subtle orange swoosh if you don’t mind a watch face without complications.
Try verizon. I do like the Beige one...ugh cant.stop.buying.bands
I dont mind the wait this time, now that I have my yellow/beige one. At least now I have one so I am fine waiting for the second band. I also have the White Ocean Band it came with so I have choices (And all my other bands from my prior generations lol)
