Yeah, I was going to make a thread specifically for my watch faces so I don’t bog down this one but the moderators were a bit overzealous and moved my post here. I’m currently thinking of a Top 10-12 of watch faces, a collection of 6 Stripes watch faces showing off fun ways to use Stripes, and a collection of 6 Typography watch faces showing my best ones after going through every color in Apple’s library… and maybe monthly updates.

I was experiencing irritation from I though it was the Spigen DuraPro Flex Ultra watch band. Turns out that wasn't it, it was the Spigen Rugged Armored TPU case. I didn't get the case for protection as much as I like the looks with the case installed. I was looking at it today and I realized the area of irritation had nothing to do with the watch band but this case. Its design on the sensor side of the AW covered all but the sensors. it was this part of the case that was causing the irritation. When I removed this case the inside was rather dirty. I wipe this watch off whenever I have is off this was not good. I had ordered another case for this Ultra 2. This one has a lock for the button that is used to call emergency services, it easily snaps back-n-forth but is prevents the button from being touched and 911 accidentally being called. This Spigen protective case only covers the edges of the watch it does not cover the back of the watch at all. My forearm already feels much better with the titanium to skin contact. I still have the G-Shock look with a much more comfortable cover.

The Spigen DuraPro Flex Ultra watch band is causing irritation around the area of the metal buckle. The Clay braided solo loop looks good but according to the Apple store it is sized for the series 9. I just ordered the 49mm Trail Loop. Because I have to take my U2 off the charge it an old style buckled watch band is not a convenient option.

Yeah that band looks really uncomfortable, I have no idea what they were thinking with that release. I actually really like Spigen, and have owned a few of their iPhone cases that are really nice and slim over the years. I also think they make the best case for the Apple Watch, still, after all these years.

Anyway, I have the clay loop and can say that while its technically sized for the 45mm watches, it looks awesome on the ultra and because of the way its sort of "biting" the loopy band attachment, it looks the part and quite cool, and not as weird as say the connection of a different 45mm apple band with a more rigid connector like metal or plastic, which would look "too small" more obviously.

I think I have quickly found a favorite band for my new Ultra 2. It came with the indigo alpine loop (great look and comfort), and I bought a couple of 45mm leather links from eBay, an ocean band, and the nomad strap (nice but too long for me).

This is the clay braided sport loop, and it's a very nice match for the titanium case, and overall as comfortable as ever. Ive preferred this band style on my previous graphite Apple Watch, but this color and case combo is next level nice IMO.

Looks great, I just placed an order for the clay braided last night to pair with my ultra!
