Get the medium size. I was also close to the large. But I went medium and it’s perfect. See my post above with video of the clasp placement with the medium

The Ultra Milanese Loops are some of Apple's best bands to date.

Mine is 185mm. The large was obviously easier to get on but the clasp too far over. To get the medium close to the centre it was just a little too tight and was bothering me. It was over a little too much to the right when comfortable for me to be happy with it. Probably look barmy to some people, but for it to take time away from wearing the Slate S10 + LB and the cost I had to really love it. When I opened the Slate LB I was wow'd and still think it's beautiful, not getting that with the Milanese unfortunately.
I’ve tried both. Your wrist is 177mm, so it makes sense to go for the medium
My wrist is 185mm (7.28 in), and in both cases, it sits a bit off-center
Which one do you think is better?
I still say the medium. You have plenty of room to adjust and that buckle lines up better. Just my thoughts.
Maybe it’s the perspective, or that you have the strap tighter than I do
Wore my band last week on holiday, was perfect for everything, walking, sailing, swimming, first time I've not swopped a band for swimming since I got an AW many, many years ago!
I haven’t been in the water with mine yet. But I will and it’s one of the reasons I got it.
A small came in so I snagged that this weekend while waiting. My wrist is 6.25 so right on the cusp of small and medium. I have large hands so I find it hard to get it on and off with the small so I will exchange for the medium. Either way il never have a centered clasp but its ok. Its super comfortable and looks great.
Mine arrived last week and I got to try it out when I returned home from vacation on Saturday. I love this band. It’s by far the best one that Apple has made IMO. I never quite loved the original Milanese bands from Apple, because the magnet kept slipping and so did the band. This one is perfect. I’ll still use my Nomad bands and Ocean bands for exercise (they’re ridiculously comfortable as well), but I think this is gonna be my almost-everyday band going forward.
Swapped the small for the medium today. I have about a 6.25 to 6.5 wrist, and it fits much better. Easily slides off the wrist. The clasp is closer to the middle then the small. With the non-ultras I always preferred the sports bands for years. With the Ultra it was always Ocean bands. This one beats them all IMHO. Stylish but comfortable. It only weighs an ounce.
Can you swap if you don't have the packaging? I purchased the Large but might size down if possible.
I would think Apple would be ok with that, but I kept the packaging.
Yeah. They are really good with returns/exchanges. You can do it all through the app
