Im looking at some 3rd party straps.

Does anyone know what the straps like the Leather Loop and the Milanese Loop are like on small wrists. These look to be just one size, no S/M/L so Im wondering how much the strap folds back on itself.

Thanks

I normally wear the S/M sport band and subsequently bought a S/M leather loop. The M/L leather loop reached almost all the way up to the watch.

When you are researching buying a 3rd party leather loop make sure they offer both sizes. Some do, some do not. Not sure about the Milanese band hopefully someone else can comment.

I also have small wrist and just bought this leather loop from ebay. It's the only 3rd party one that offers in S/M size, not sure how's the quality since I don't have it yet. I tried one size fit all from Amazon and it was way too big.

Im in the UK so a bit more limited I guess. Would you say that this is a similar size?

They might be the same size. Moko is 135-185mm and ebay ones 130-185mm.
The length was good for small wrist but the material is too shiny for the ebay version, and I found the magnets too weak compared to other 3rd party. I gave up on getting knock off leather loop. Moko ones do look a bit better in material though.

Thanks. I might give it a go. Will update you on the quality if I order.
