Can you provide a link to the newer better fitting sports loop? Thanks.
That would be helpful right?

This is the band I was waiting for! Thanks for sharing the link!
I had been wanting it for a while too. It is the first place I saw it available!
Ordered one today, arrives tomorrow. I hope that it looks like yours!
I received the same color band and the Sport Loop-N+ Black from the same seller last week. So far of the 5 knockoff Sport Loops that I have, all are longer and thinner than Apple's. But I find it difficult to spend $50 for one band, when the knockoffs work just as well.
Mine arrived yesterday. It is just ever so slightly thinner than the Apple band, and ever so slightly shorter than it as well. Overall it’s the best one I’ve seen, with little to no distinguishing differences to anyone else.
I don’t mind spending 50.00 for a band if Apple were to actually sell this colorway.
Surely a case of you get what you pay for.
Thinner band
Velcro interaction poorer
Velcro lads smaller
Less comfortable
I’ll use this band with my Nike version but not for my edition. The yellow is an Apple band
I'll post some pics of the one I received in comparison to my sport loops. . .my knock-off is certainly not as long as yours.
Strangely, yours seems a little thinner than mine. Even looking at the other end... not the part with the loop, mine has a better fit width wise where it attaches to the "lug" portion. And the velcro feels great...like my two Apple Watch brand loops. Comfort I can't tell any difference.

Here you go! For comparison you have the Electric Red / Blue sport loop and the Dark Olive sport loop.
Thanks I ordered that one for my wife and it does fill in. I then ordered a second color and it was thinner....
Now that... is a very interesting thought. Why make two bands when you can just change the lugs. Well done sir.
I need to get back to seattle. loved the 1AM bowl of Ivars clam chowder while waiting for the ferry.
Not to mention fresh dungeoness crab
Oh. Wow. I’ve been here two years almost. You wouldn’t recognize the place. The viaduct will be gone in a year or so. Best view in Seattle, torn down for a tunnel.
Yeah— you’ve got to be right. That’s got to be why all the knockoff sport loops are inexplicably crappy narrow. They must just be manufacturing the strap material in one width and using it for both size watches.
