Sorry the quote feature didn’t work as expected. This is a picture of my new Nike loop with the tab cut off.
It came out nice….used a sharp pair of scissors and cut close to the band.
Got a tip for us?

this makes me want more alpine loops. Was that the eBay yoink?
At least it came out pretty clean. If you love it that’s what matters!

Yeah, let me just set fire to this Lilac. I just love how it looks 'charred' and used.

That’s a bit extreme in comparison but ok
my Apple Store had them. Call your closest and ask?
Notice the 3 different lengths on the sport loop bands: The Olive/Blue on is the current “regular” size sport loop. The yellow one is also a “regular” size that I got back in 2017/2018 time frame. The light/dark blue one on the end is the current XL sport loop. I have an 8 1/2 size wrist and the current “regular” SL closes on the side of my wrist (at the 15 minute mark). The current XL SL closes on the side of my wrist also (ie, at the 45 minute mark). The “old” “regular” SL (ie the yellow one) is perfect…closes at the bottom of my wrist.
Still listed as 130-160mm? Any photos to how how much shorter this years S Alpine actually is?
Before I saw the Olive Alpine in person, I thought the Green Alpine was better. Changed my mind when I saw it in person and think Olive is better and I'll eventually grab an Olive one.
I picked up my Ultra 2 last Friday with the Indigo Alpine. I'll add a post with some pics.

Got the Ultra 2 last Friday and I'm really liking the upgrade from an aluminum AW6. I really like the Indigo Alpine Loop; the color looks like a pair of dark denim jeans.
Also, picked up an Apple Green Alpine Loop on eBay last week at a great price. Thinking of getting the Orange Alpine even though I know I'll rarely wear it. I love how it stands out and just screams Ultra ⌚. 😆

Yep; im hot on the (mountain) trail of an Indigo. I was fooling myself when I said i would cool it with ultra pickups. Apple really nerfed the photos on these more than usual. The Alpines are far and away the best, the subtle two-tone work on all of them is aces.

Those Alpine Loops look so good! I wish Apple would bring them to the smaller watches.
Honestly, the pics @athousandbands has shared show that the Alpine Loops look good with the regular watches, too. Their versatility is one of the things I love about them so much.
What’s the indigo like in the flesh? Some photos look like a dark blue colour, some look almost purple. Picked up blue and grey and wondering if I can justify adding a second Alpine from the new releases
The metal match on sss is actually not a problem at all. It’s just down to size at this point.
And really it’s good enough to unlock the ability to wear ultra bands. Just never gonna have room in my five for an ultra. Though once I have a critical mass of Ultra bands and my s7 starlight gets old enough…
Blue ocean band, halfway between the richness of Horizon and Storm Blue solo
Here's a video I just took standing by a window (overcast/cloudy day), no lights on inside the house. Doesn't really look purple, more dark blue. IMG_8771.MOV
Awesome, thank you! Definitely dark blue, looks great!
This makes me very sad! The old Small I could just get my hand in, and the hook sat under my wrist in the middle. I tried a Medium in the store the other day and the hook sits too far round, much closer the the watch.
This smaller Small may well render my favourite Ultra band strap as useless now. Very frustrating!
First, nice collection!
Second, yeah Sport Loop sizing is very inconsistent. I'd love to know how they get cut at the factory. My Close Your Rings sport loop is suuuper long and could count as an XL I bet.
