Approaching 24 hours with Ultra, I haven’t been this thoroughly impressed since my steel 0G back in Spring 2015!
To celebrate, here’s the new rugged titanium body with my band collection spanning 7+ years and sizes 42, 44 and 45mm..
1. The classic black Sport Band that came with my first Watch. To this day, I am always between sizes on the hole punches. Otherwise, simple and secure for some cardio and water.
2. Black Leather Loop is my daily grind for working at the office. Comfortably adjustable and dresses up the body nicely.
3. Storm Gray Sport Loop has held up with all my hiking, biking, swimming, walking, and running workouts 💪🏻
With that said, the color has faded pretty good over time and the velcro has split the threading around where I usually stick it. No issues at all, but it admirably reflects how much of a ride its been through.
4. Anchor Gray Sport Loop has a gray dual tone that pairs well with the brushed titanium body. This one provides the most comfortable, snug fit for biometrics and sleep tracking.
5. Midnight Ocean Band stood out from the Alpine and Trail Loops because of the classic buckle look in a sport context. Really looking forward to taking this out in the water with the new Depth app!
6. Stainless Steel Link Bracelet really puts Ultra in another league. This looks space age and dresses incredibly well for special occasions. The contrast in the way light reflects off the brushed titanium and steel links is definitely something to be seen in person. This one is a stunner, wow.
7. Space Black Link Bracelet is the best all-around in that it gives the Watch a premium look and feel, in addition to a sharp black contrast that reminds me of my 0G watch. The DLC coating has held up well wearing this while going out and looking sharp.
8. Charcoal Braided Loop is by far the most enjoyable to wear. Even with the heft of the Ultra, I easily forget that I have a wearable device on. It’s easy to clean and the color has not faded even with near daily wear. I got one size down, and this has nevertheless stretched out over time.
9. Bonus: As a hardcore black and space gray fan (see above), the Pride Braided Loop looks better than I imagined on the new Ultra. I wear this in tribute to my LGBT best friend in high school who tragically took his own life. This is my favorite special edition band that has been released thus far, and am more than happy to show my support.
I hope you found this useful if you are considering upgrading and have some bands that you‘d like to carry over.
Thanks for your ⌚️
