I was looking at the alpine loop but didn’t realise there was 3 sizes unlike the Trail loops 2.

I don’t have an Apple Store near to try sadly.

For reference I have attached where the M/L trail loop fits on my wrist. I think maybe 180-185mm wrist.

So right at 1 end of the medium. Is it best to size up?

I thought the point of an ultra was to strain your wrist with the weight and stop blood with the strap? Anyway, that’s a trail loop. Just wanted you to know what Alpine loop to get.

My trail loop looks exactly like yours, stitches about 10-15mm on the right from the axis of my wrist. You should go for the L alpine loop, I can wear mine at the fifth loop so it's not too much under my wrist and it doesn't annoy me on my laptop.

If that’s a M/L trail loop then you’re off by at least 30 mm in your wrist diameter because an M/L fits me just fine with a 205mm wrist…

My wrist hurts just from seeing this photo.

Obviously yes, you need to go up a size. Watch should be snug but not too tight.

You’ll loose sensitivity soon

It looks like your Apple Watch is tight enough to cut off your blood circulation which you don’t want, so get a bigger band if you have to.

Clearly your wrist is too big for the Ultra so trying to size it down a bit

Looks like you’re about to give blood.

Gonna pinch that hand right off…

I’m surprised your hand hasn’t turned blue

If you wear your watch that tight, it makes your hand feel like a strangers hand for other activities.
