Nomad Watch Band Question

[TRICKorDEVICE]

I recently ordered the limited edition glow band 2 from Nomad and received an email that said the following:
Are you planning to use your new Band with an Apple Watch Ultra or Apple Watch Ultra 2? If so, be sure to press down on the center lug latch while slowly sliding the Band into the watch channels. Check out this video to see how it’s done!

It is giving me a little bit of apprehension thinking that I have to insert a band in a special way, I have concerns that it is somehow going to damage the watch. Has anyone used a band from this company that required you to insert it this way, and does anyone think that it could cause damage to the watch itself?

It sounds like they're just idiot-proof instructions. Up there with "may contain nuts" on a packet of peanuts. The watch connector is bulletproof. It will be fine.

If it makes you feel any better about your purchase, I don't do this on my Nomad sport band and it doesn't feel the least bit insecure.

@Howard2k Thanks for the input!

And you don’t feel it damages your watch at all?

I don't see how it would, honestly. It hasn't in the year I've had mine.

I have a Lunar Gray Nomad band and always have to press the centre button to install it on my Ultra 2. Worked it out myself when I couldn't get it to slide in.

Wondering if this recommendation from Nomad is merely for that particular band.
I have used two other bands from Nomad, and never pressed that center button...(AWU)

And you haven’t noticed it causing any damage to the watch or issues with other bands?

 

[Pug72]

Nothing at all. It's just a smidge to high to fit through the side of the watch casing, so a little pressure and it slides through.

My Nomad Sport silicone band has fallen apart at the connector after just two months. Awful quality. Would not recommend.

That’s troubling. I had heard nothing but good things. I hope your experience is atypical.
