That looks really nice, mate.
Let me ask you (as a new Ultra owner), can you wear both braided and regular Solos you already had with the Ultra? For me, the braideds are fine, but the regular ones feel a little too loose and I had to go one size dowm.
I have a solo loop and braided as well - Can't use them as good as before. My solo loop is okay if I'm not active at all, but running it can slide all around my arm so would need a size down
Probably, but I‘m happy with it on the Ultra. It looks best on the Ceramic though (if you ask me) 😉So beautiful and summerish! It would be look way better on a SS I think.
The braided solo loops I own all feel no different with the Ultra. Can't help you with the regular solo loops as I don't own one, I never quite warmed up to them and prefer the Sports Band in the "rubber" department

Ah, gotcha, then you „lucked out“ with the rubber. 😉 I‘m a liitele bummed that I can‘t really wear my older rubber Solos with the Ultra, but then again I certainly have enough other bands to wear. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The sport loop goes the other way around.
I wear mine this way too. For me they are simply more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable opposite the way Apple photographs them. #thinkdifferent
How do you find the BSL to work with the Ultra? I just got a silicone solo loop but was contemplating a BSL. I have had three for my other Apple Watches. I was afraid they’d stretch worse with the Ultra.
Like I said a couple of posts above, for me the BSLs work perfectly fine with the Ultra and feel just like with the standard Watch models.
Given the minimal weight difference of about 10 grams compared to the SS models, I‘d say you don’t have to worry about any increased stretch….
Thanks! Didn’t see your other post. Sorry about that. I’ll have to think more about it. I really love the BSL. It’s easily the most comfortable and versatile band in my opinion.
I like it the same way as the trial loop, with the loop section at the top.The sport loop goes the other way around.

If you see a colour you like, definitely try it. I’m sure you’ll like it.
Much more comfortable than the sport band.
I think I just have oppositions to the ultra case as its own thing. It looks good with the bands it was designed to be worn with, and sport bands I guess, but any others don't feel 'rugged' enough I think is what I mean to say?
I might be alone on this.

I agree with you actually. I think the Ultra looks best with its own bands as well.
S6 Infograph face (not decided on what I want yet) + £6 rainbow holes sports style band + £5.50 "waterproof" watch shell. (Haven't been out in rain yet to check)
is that a knockoff apple watch?
also, an unprotected apple watch will fare well on its own in the rain...
Nope, its this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BRV144SB I'm weary of scratching the screen so wanted some sort of cover for the watch.
I opted to try it over the https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07L8T1JC4 but I'm thinking of getting the bottom as the crown is hard to spin with the above. But I'd read a number of reviews of similar to below that said that if they get condensation / water inside then it messes up screen responsiveness. Hence choosing above

If your watch is aluminum... buy a stainless watch.
I've literally never had a problem with this. Rain, showers, or swimming, water on my watch has never been an issue. If anything, water will now just get trapped between your watch and case.
these cases are just going to make your watch uglier and harder to use. I mean if you're into that, I won't stop ya.
Lol sometimes I wash my watches under running water to give them a full bath. Been doing that for so many years with no fears. It’s funny to me how some people will cringe at a little water getting on their water resistant up to 50 meters deep watches. But hey to each their own!
imagining a guy with an ultra putting his hand over it while it drizzles
I remember when Apple PR went out of their way to have Tim say he showered in his s0, which was only water-resistant iirc
