Hello folks,


I could use some help with sizing the Ultra 3 Titanium Milanese band. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to a full Apple Store — only premium resellers here, and their band selection is pretty limited.



Previously, I wore the Nike Sport Band with my Watch 4 Nike. It worked fine, but I wasn’t a fan of some drawbacks (smell, Velcro wear, etc.). For the Ultra 3, I’m planning to switch to the Titanium Milanese, but so far I haven’t been able to try it on anywhere.


At one store, I tested the Ocean Band. The employee claimed it was size M, but that confused me — the Ocean Band only comes in one size (fits 130–200 mm wrists). On me, there were just 2–3 holes left, which made it feel a bit short.


From Apple’s sizing chart, it looks like the Medium Milanese (155–185 mm) would be borderline for me, while the Large (180–210 mm) seems like the safer choice.


Has anyone here with a similar wrist size tried the Titanium Milanese on the Ultra 3?

Apologies as I'm not sure exactly what you're asking - but maybe I can give some feedback.

I have the Ultra with the titanium Milanese band (M size). My wrist when measured is 180mm and the band fits quite nicely and I feel like it has plenty of space to adjust the fit in either direction (quite certain it could fit wrist larger than 185mm).

hope that helps!

Thanks that good feedback.

Was just trying to figure out what size i need, my wrist measures 175mm .. that would also fit M. Where does the buckle sit in your setup?

I was a bit confused when comparing that with the ocean loop in store, but the watch also had the theft protection plate underneath, that could explain the difference

My wrist is actually 179, so not too different from yours. Attaching a few photos. I find the buckle sits in a nice spot.

Like the other posters I have got a size M and have a 175mm wrist. The clasp is middle of the back of my arm. Very comfy. Looks like Apple's sizing guides are pretty good. Hope this helps - it's a great band!

You guys are the 🐐s

Found a Premium Seller where the employee had the M Band, which I could try, feels perfect for my 175mm wrist, also the fact that the buckle can be moved around it is really handy. Orderd the AWU3 now 🎉
