I'm not DMG, but looks like your average thickboi Aliexpress band with your average logitech wireless keyboard.

The keyboard is a logitech MX Keys black and the band is a discontinued Nomad sports band. Half right so good try.

Wasn't expecting Nomad!

Yeah they made it a while back, I wanna say with the Series 4. Funny thing is that I liked it, but always felt that it was too large for the Apple Watch. It looks like it was made for the Ultra though.

One thing I have found with my Ultra is that a number of bands are really difficult to fit.

My link bracelet and a couple of others fit OK, but a number of my third party ones are way too tight for comfort when sliding into the Watch body.

Anyone else noticed this?
Yes! Same here. Just tried a bunch of old 3rd party bands with metal lugs. Collected them during the S0 - S4 era.

They all slid a couple of mm into the Ultra and jammed. Didn't risk it any further.

So I then tried them on my old S6 SS and they were a bit snug, but OK. IIRC, they were all absolutely fine on S0 SS, S1 SS, S2 SS and S4 Aluminum.

BTW all my Apple bands from S0 thru S8 (Sports S0-S4, links S1-S2, Milanese S2 Leather Loop S6 and Solo loop S7) are all still super-smooth on the Ultra.

Interesting.

My OEM link and even the Alpine are very very tight on the top connector of the watch.
Odd huh!? Yes, I traded small Alpine band for Medium yesterday morning (Didn't even open the small Alpine band box, and had to bring back the entire watch...that's fine)

But opened the Medium band and it was a slight struggle to get this in the slots, actually felt like I was grinding metal and didn't force it. Link bracelet as well. But another 3rd party link fits the slots perfectly fine.

This was an issue with some Nike sport bands a year-ish ago. I think some of them just got made a fraction of a millimeter too thick, and that made it next to impossible to fit in sometimes.

Let's hope this is a temporary thing.

My combo. SS7 graphite and the beige solo loop.

I have size 7, size 8 was too big. Size 7 feels perfect but if it stretches it might be too big. Would size 6 be better?

I think we're about the same for wrist size. All of my loops are size 8, though they're a bit large. 7 is snug but stretches out and becomes loose. I've found I can fit anywhere from a 4 to an 8, but the only size I have other than an 8 is a 5. It's a snug fit but it feels sturdy.

My wrist size is 16,9cm. Maybe I go for size 6.
