Just concerned about putting a watch band with steel lugs on mu Ultra- does anyone think the steel could damage the titanium slots? I owned the titanium S6 edition before this but rarely used anything with steel lugs attached so I’m not sure how well the titanium would hold up to everyday use. The band is FKM with steel lugs and buckle from a reputable manufacturer, BTW.
Thanks
 
I suppose that depends on how you're personally defining damage. If you're not careful when slotting the band it's possible you might cause some minor scratching around the slots which could bother some people. But as far as functionally damaging the slots themselves, making them loose or unusable, that's extremely unlikely.

Tdude96 yes I was just wondering about normally wearing the watch with the steel lugs attached and if the various everyday arm and hand movements one could make (like during running) would create some sort of wear from the two materials being connected. I don’t really change bands frequently, but when I do I try to be careful so hopefully would minimize the risk of wear or damage from that sort of thing. Thanks for the reply and I would like to hear observations from anyone else that has an Ultra with a steel lug band attached.
Thanks!
