That's weird that the hands look blue in the second pic. Is that a photographic anomaly, or are they really blue hands?
Got a tip for us?

Did something similar going classic. Silver stainless is timeless though if you look not-so-closely you can see how scratched up mine is. We’ll pretend it’s still looking brand new.
Marine Green Sport Band gives me a Series 3 feeling
I think that looks really, really neat. I got (more or less) the same colour cover for my iPhone 14 pro today. When I say "more or less", I use those words in the looses sense of the words. Just love the colour of that strap.
Edit; Have you tried a cape cod cloth, there would be no scratches afterwards.
I've heard good things but I'm yet to try one. I suppose I should order one huh?
Yes, honestly, they are brilliant, I got a tin of them but that is overkill, you just need one, keep it in a sealed container and it will last for years. I used one on a Grand Seiko, sacrilege, I know, but it came up fabulous.
😂 to be fair it’s about time. We’ve essentially been staring at images of the same watch since Series 0.
I’d like to see this also. The satin finish works really well with light and creamy colours.
I use it once every couple of months. Watch looks like new (it is a year old now). Definitely recommend one.
yeah looking on eBay I can get a pack of 2 for $7. I think that'll be the route I go!

True! I like the Ultra, and I think with a lot of bands it really sticks out. I just think I like the stainless watches a liiiittle bit more.
Love the color combo of the Olive Grey/Black band and Ultra.....Good choice.
I didn’t really want the ultra watch but seeing all your photos made me order one. I am coming from series 7 41mm 👀Peacock Leather Loop on Ultra 🔥

Thanks for your kind words. Worth giving a shot for yourself to see if it fits your needs.
Just to double check because I’ve seen a few pics… will an Alpine loop fit on a 45mm watch?
It will work, but the Alpine lugs are going to extend a slight bit past the edges of a non-Ultra case.
Edit: here are photos of the Alpine band on my S4

It’s not bad by non-Apple standards, but I’m predicting that there will be a large number of Ultra bands purchased and returned by non-Ultra Apple Watch owners who expect the status quo Apple perfection that will lead to a different “compatible with” description.
Looking at my Ultra, it’s curious why they got so close as to allow all previous bands to engage and be perfectly safe, but not align with the edges.
