Yeah I think I'll just buy a regular sport band because I have to return the whole watch as well even just to exchange the band... How much travel are you getting when you press the digital crown? It feels really short and mushy and rather unsatisfying haha. Pretty happy with everything else so far
Got a tip for us?

Same thoughts here. I’ve got a small and medium on the way. Although I tend to wear sport loops when I’m in the house anyway. But it’s a good point for consideration!
I feel this exact way with my SS S8 and was hoping for a more tactile button feel with greater travel on the Ultra.
I have 165mm wrist anyone got any pics of how that would look? I mean ill find out in 8.5 hours for sure.
...thanks for taking the time to share your new gadget and your experiences.
Curious, with the watch face, are there any watch faces that are square, and thus truly show you how much screen real estate you actually have access to?
On my current Apple Watch, I typically use the California (square) or Meridian (square) watch faces.

I took pics of the contour face specifically to show this. Here you go.
Was not sure about the Ocean band I ordered so was ready to dip into my strap collection but that looks great, thanks for posting.
@Boardiesboi the Ocean band looks so much better on you. I think the straps with the lugs make the watch look even bigger so straps without metal lugs suit the smaller wrist better.
From the first post, I noticed the images with the various bands. No issues with the connection area for the 'old' bands, they fit and stay in, no issue(s)? Thanks
Pretty happy with it, wrist size is between 7.5 and 8 inches, and being 6ft 5 helps lol.
Band feels really high quality as well.
Looks great on your wrist!
I wish I could pull it off on my wrist but I wear a size 4 in the braided loop so yeah.
Thank you, I’m size 7/8 with the braided loop so yeah would probably be a bit large for you. Worth trying it out though in store.
The ocean bands are so nice! Might have to get the white one as well haha
Yes they are, thinking about getting the midnight one
How does the ocean band look on the 45mm S7? Might pick one up but don't want it to look dodgy in the lugs etc.
My wrist is 184mm. It feels very comfortable. Certainly doesn’t look too big and it’s not as thick as I thought it would be. 44 and 45 mm bands fit perfectly. I know the screen is only marginally bigger than the S7 and S8 but it does seen noticeably bigger and boy is that screen bright 🙂

@Boardiesboi I just realized the strap I ordered (green Alpine) is size small. I checked my wrist and it’s closer to 170mm…think the small will work? I don’t know what I was thinking and don’t think I can swap, but at least I have several other straps here worst case scenario.
One thing that I really appreciate is the flat screen, no more reflections. Hurray!
Oh no!!! The size small only goes up to 160mm and you would find it difficult to fit your hand through it.
Also you probably won’t have enough strap to loop back to hook it through the slots.
