Can I cut Leather Loop

Do not cut your loop
It won't look good and it will
Void your warranty

Okay it's too late and it's been a long day of introducing tarantulas to my Apple Watch, so no more poetry from me. Just real advice from a once petite person who used to weigh 84 pounds as an adult until age 37. As someone who was that thin, I had a tiny wrist and did cut many of my bands to make them fit. I've cut leather bands. I've cut plastic polymer bands. I was also a decent hand at crafts, and had a very steady hand with scissors and other cutting implements. Regardless, all of my cut bands ended up looking like cut bands afterwards. On some I did a great job and you could not really tell they were snipped in terms of seeing bad edges, but the problem was that the proportions were ruined. They just looked odd. If it were me I'd just exchange for a band of a different style that truly fits well from the start.

Cannot say I have tried it before; I am unable to advise properly without experience, glad he got some useful help in the end XD With or without my relapsing rhymes.

You can cut it and I did. I cut about 7 of the links off plus the main one that's at the end. I used a box opener to cut it and there were no problems. Then once I had it at the desired length I put superglue on the tip of the band and attached the end piece back on.

Looking at that gorge of an overlap is making a million user's OCD senses tingle...

I seem to remember there was a user over on /r/AppleWatch on Reddit who cut their 3rd party leather loop clone. It looked terrible.

Try and exchange it for the smaller sized official one. Otherwise, maybe there are 3rd party ones that are smaller?

If you cut leather loop, you will cut off magnet in end of band and the band will come loose much easier.

Am I the only person who can see the arch of an overlap on it?

Agreed. It looks like only the first 8 segments have magnets in them.

Correct, the band is designed for the magnets in the end of the band to sit on top of the magnets in the other part of the strap, therefore giving compound grip to stay fastened.

Can I Decrease length for Apple Watch Leather Loop
Size large
Because if it's too much

Sure! You can also jump off a bridge or stick your finger in an electric socket. However, none of the above are recommended!
