Just a random stranger’s two cents but think it looks great on your wrist. These things take time to get used to. I remember when I first got the iPhone XS Max. My coworkers were all ribbing me for getting a “giant” phone. Now they all have one and it’s perfectly normal. I just ordered an Ultra even though I have a smallish wrist too. Up to you but you can definitely pull it off.

That's a really good analogy, and the exact same thing happened on my work. They ridiculed me for my android Asus ROG phone 3. But then they upgraded to iPhone Pro Max 13 and got just a big phone.

Can i ask, what size was the green Alpine Loop that you bought with Apple Watch ultra? Size S(130-160mm) , M(145-190mm), L(165-210mm)?

I had the same concerns and still think it looks massive on my wrist but i've asked friends whom have given it to me straight and no one thinks its out of the ordinary.. it's large, but not obnoxious or "ugly".. for comparison I have a 6.8" wrist. Also, any strap that doesn't have an extension will taper more around your wrist - so if you do order the ultra, that would be the ocean band, or any of the 45mm ones that slide directly in and don't project further out and create more of a larger horizontal profile

@JonImperial

Great point about band that don’t project out! It’s a big watch but not too bad. I have been wearing my regular watches since and switching back to the ultra feels more natural.

Series 8 or Ultra? 🤔 I realized after filming I put on the Alpine Loop wrong. After, putting it on correctly, it’s actually nice! Also, my neighbors we’re making a lot of noise so I had to stop in the middle and it just threw me off. I really wanted to post the video today so I powered through. 😂

I'm hoping they make at least a 45mm version.

I like the bump but would prefer say a 47mm. I do sometimes feel the standard is too small for a sports watch. There are a lot of folks out there who say, everyone to their own, wear what you like. But as someone whoes shot commercial product photo's for the last 30 years, The designers of watches always want a model with a wrist that matches how they optimally designed the watch. Of course they have some leeway but a lot of attention is put into the transaction angle from watch case to strap. The classic is Rolex, a lot of trouble is put into the angle of the lugs matching the first links of the strap. So many with small wrists want to own a Skydweler or alike but the truth is it was not designed with that wrist measurement in mind, the look of the watch is suboptimal. Now in my case I can't always read my 44mm without reading glasses and so I would go for the Ultra, but I would not kid myself that it looks terrific on my 170mm wrist.

I love mine.. used to have the 41mm.. and wear normal watches on the smaller side such as Rolex 36 and 40mm models.. The Ultra honestly is not as large as people make it out to be. Especially with bands that don't have that metal part that sticks out. The original Fluoroelastomer is one, the leather link, the ocean ultra band, etc... makes it look much smaller because the watch then hugs your wrist more
