Good point… Especially when one is paying almost double the price. Like the phone, if you want a certain feature (AOD for example) you’ll have to buy that certain phone to get it and not have everyone under wait for iOS update..
Fwiw the ultra band width and lugs blend better with the S7 than the 4-6
Well, that’s good news. I didn’t realize the width of the case had changed between the 6 and 7.
Edit: does this mean my 2015 Link Bracelet would have a slight gap on a series 7?

No it’s not about the lug channel so much as the watch getting wider outside it. The s7 got rounder and that means more width between the end of the band and the edge of the case.
Apple talked a big game in 2021 about band compatibility being foundational band and they’re walking the walk. I wonder if the S10 redesign will add a little bit of width again and make the Ultra bands look even better.
I think right now the ratio of the Ultra to the non-Ultra bands is the absolute limit.
What you actually see with the mild fitment issues with Ultra lugs on S7 is a lot about shape I think. Different corner shape.
Oddly enough Ultra bands kinda blend nicely with the S0-3 because they have a more blunt/squared-off lug to match the flat top of the Ultra—I believe.
Received the LDFAS Titanium metal band , matches really really well with the Ultra's natural shade!
I’m sure it’s fine either way but the band is meant to go in the other direction.
Fake vs. Original
I never buy fake bands but this time I couldn‘t pass up this new band style in a beautiful orange. For 27€ I am satisfied with the quality.
The lugs are orange as well which makes this band look good on non-silver watches.
However they are plastic and a little wobbly. So I will not wear this band for sport.
The lugs also look way more non-Ultra sized and shaped, huh?
You paid how much?
for a fake???
Damn, I'm in the wrong business. I should be reselling $1 aliexpress bands
Umber link. It's a banger on the Ultra.

Yeah maybe not my smartest investment. But I have my weak moments when it comes to orange bands. You don’t wanna know how much I paid for an orange Hermès sport band with a black pin.
Leather links reflect light in a way that makes them look slightly off in photos. The gradient of light going down the bump just looks smushed/diffused.
I guess I should try to capture the grain with the 48mp mode
Yes the focal point is on the watch only. I agree, they are all pretty hard to photograph the true color, especially out in the natural light.
Forget the photo, it's a must have for every collector lol
No Ultra here just adding to my Series collection. Titanium Edition just arrived and I absolutely love it. Two favorites right here, Graphite and NaTi.
