I ordered the orange stripe one with my Ultra 2. I like how it matches really well with the warmer tones of the titanium and the orange on the action button.

And then snatched up the old blue stripe one while I still can from Amazon, for a little more subdued appearance. I would've loved if they did this one with the orange on the left instead of the light gray. This blue is also nicer:

Those look so nice! You’re so lucky you can wear an Ultra watch. I wish I could. I tried one and it looks very bad on me because I’m so small. Even carrying more pounds on me than I’d like, I’m not able to pull that look off. My wrists remain too small.
 
Glad the sport band did not go away (like the rumors were hinting).
Yeah, they lack the carbon neutral branding and have been pushed down on the website, but very happy they’re still there. I don’t like stretchy bands and still prefer them over sport loops because they don’t stay wet for a while after swimming.

The Nike Sport loops are nice. I might pick up a couple of them. The rest are blah.
 
Its not about costs, its about PR. If we really cared about the environment they would sell watches without bands, just like they sell phones without chargers.

It's clear that the bands are big business, just like phone cases. So you could be right... give us a bandless option.
