Weird mine also look like the new style. Maybe I was making up the loose feeling. It seems like it got the revision a few months before the advent of series 7
Dark Olive - Sport Loop on SS Graphite
Sorry, I know this is an old post. I am going back through a couple hundred old pages to catch up. Is there a particular one that you recommend? I have the Ultra and wanted to have one on hand.
I wouldn’t recommend doing that to the Ultra as it’s not a brushed Titanium. It’s just going to end up scratching your watch.
Olive Gray/Cargo Khaki - Nike Sport Band on SS Graphite
Just checked mine and it looks and feels identical to my Charcoal braid. Maybe I'm missing something?
I was Super Bowl drunk during this whole discussion. I think they would have called it 45mm if they rev’d it
I'm not a sports person, didn't even know the superb owl was happening last week. Was it decent at least?
The more I look at the NaTi models, the more I’m loving it. Low-key regretting getting a SBTi back in Oct 2021, haha.
Owning both I have to say I love SBTi!
But it being a dark watch in my opinion limits the band pairing a bit, there are some bands that just look much better with NaTi but then again a good amount of bands look awesome with SBTi as well.
That’s right! I’m having dilemmas in buying bands for my SBTi. I wanna go light but it doesn’t look that great on dark coloured watches unfortunately for me.
The solution: 5 watches
Weirdly, I think the Space Black Stainless Steel can pull off bands that the Space Black Titanium can't. I don't know if it's the polish or what, but they look good with lighter bands.
A long while ago, @FenC made a post showing 60+ Sport bands on S5 Stainless Steel and Space Black, some of which being lighter colors. Not the best example as they're made en masse, but they show it well.
My favorites to pair are the ones with black edges but a colorful core, like the Pink Blast Sport Loop from a while ago. They're perfect for Space Black anything.
Switching from my favorite Modular to the Infograph, just to test which I like most...
And going with "Orange is the new Black"

I love the velcro band that came with the watch. I have added glass protection and a bumper to my Ultra Watch, simply because of the job I do, and that is Paramedic. I will end it by saying that the band is very comfortable, and I wear it continuously for three day's when it's time to recharge it. Phenomenal battery life, and I use mine with the job I do. I wish there were more watch faces to choose from, or the ability to customize your own.

Finally ended up snagging the ultra. I loved my ss s7 but the battery life wins me over. 48 hrs with AOD and multiple workouts a day. I golf quite a bit and using a golf gps would just kill my s7 battery. This this thing is a beast. I added a glass screen protector and a metal frame around the chamfered edge because I hit the edges of my watch alot. You can hardly tell there is anything on there and the added protection is very nice!
It's an amazing device for sure..... I am thinking of picking up the midnight oceanic band that you have there... I got the white one and its really comfortable... But the other day I wore it to work and felt kind of silly wearing it in an office setting... I think the white color is made more for weekends I guess..... But I love the comfort of it so I think the happy medium is to pick up the darker color to wear during the week.
Desert Sand/Volt - Nike Sport Loop/Reflective Thread on SS Graphite
I'd go for it. I got the watch with the trail loop because i wasn't sure about comfort and I didn't like how it looked in photos. Then I tried it on and had to get it. For being their biggest watch they did a good job making it comfortable
