Someone needs to try that for sure! Definitely my favourite of the 4 seasons of black woven bands that were released.
That one and Black Checked are my two favorites of all the woven nylons.
That is the question.. I love the diamond polished AW Ultra 2 I just bought as well but I’m drawn to a black watch this year
Yeah, Nomad basically replaced Apple’s sports band for me in terms of working out
I liked the Jet Black but returned it, I’ve always gotten the SS or Edition since series 0 and got so used to the Sapphire Crystal. The Ion-X screen feels almost plasticky to me. Not trying to knock it at all I just prefer the higher end materials of the higher trim watches/Ultra over the aluminum models.
The black Ultra, I got rid of my natural Titanium Ultra 2 and replaced it with the black and I don’t regret it one bit. Absolutely love it!
Because the plastic black lugs will blend in with the Apple Watch ⌚️ in jet black!
One of the best companies for third party leather iPhone and Apple Watch accessories and cables… even wallets! It’s a bit pricey and these bands are limited to large Apple Watch models only. They only have the leather bands for 41mm Apple Watch.
[mention]itsmemuffins [/mention] Thank you for the inspiration. “Better Day” didn’t work in my region but I found a calendar complication that behaves the same way.
They're actually metal, that was a good surprise! Matte aluminium I think. I think most woven bands had plastic lugs though right?
What’s metal? The black lugs on the woven nylons are definitely plastic if that’s what you’re talking about.
Same, and boy the battery life at 50% midway through the day is an anxiety I've not felt since 2022. lol Space black is the one
Definitely metal lugs, did the fridge magnet test (steel not alu)! Tahoe blue also has metal lugs by the look of it.
I’m wondering if these are versions that shipped with certain Apple Watches vs the ones sold separately, but I really don’t know.
Wow I’ve never seen OEM Apple Woven Nylons with metal lugs. And the back of the top band has the 38mm or 42mm “stamp” on it?
Haha you must have placed that order a while back? How did you get it with the Black Ultra Milanese so quick, you made it seem like you just ordered it today?
Yes, it checks out with the correct woven nylon marking on one band and 38mm on the other, it's the same as the plastic ones as far as I can tell. Band is very high quality, fabric feels dense with clean edges, buckles and connectors flawless - if somehow it is a fake, it's better than the original. Could be some kind of limited run?
Yes and that includes Sport Loops. My Sport Loops are all plastic lugs even the latest ones I checked out in the Apple Store.
It is just a decoy Apple Watch Ultra natural titanium case over a 41mm. The Apple Watch is a 41mm and needs to be worn with third party ultra replica bands, like the alpine loop band you put on the Apple Watch. Apple Watch Ultra bands are restricted 🚫 to larger 44mm and larger sizes.
I have 6 of these woven bands (inc the one shown) that I bought separate to a watch. I was about to come after you with "the lugs are plastic, it's the metal locking mechanism that's magnetic", but the lugs on all of mine are indeed painted metal.
Wow.
Based on the stripes these came with the Apple Watch Series 3. These were the last woven nylon Apple Watch bands before they got discontinued with the Apple Watch Series 4. @chrisrows used to wear his Apple Watch series 2 space gray 42mm with the OG black woven nylon band and the lugs looked like plastic as well. He upgraded from S2 to S9 after seven years like me, S1 to S6.
😎!!! Had you decided which Apple Watch series 10 would you prefer? Btw it is polished silver titanium for Hermes, no stainless steel. Also know your case size; if you have a 44mm Apple Watch Series 4, get the 46mm size. I do also have snoopy hats, sweaters and shirts as well.
Paid less than $4 total for the band and case on AliExpress
This caused me to check the 4 that I have. Nearly positive that they are plastic, but they do definitely have a steel core, probably for the locking mechanism, which causes them to stick to a magnet.
Superb deal, man. The case is also a near perfect match to an actual Apple Watch Ultra.
