This is me exactly! I'm usually a M/L with my 44mm, Apple Watch 4 band so I got a Midnight Leather Link M/L band for my Apple Watch 7 and I was astonished that i twas too long! So I picked up the S/M and while lengthwise it is indeed shorter, the best fit I get has "4 magnets" free from the top of the watch to the end of the band. I guess it's doable but I wish I get a tighter fit and get one more magnet but I dunno. It generally feels too loose. I was thinking the easy snap on and snap off would attune to the size of my wrist but it doesn't look like it.
