I am using a natural stainless steel S9 45mm Apple Watch but I am interested in the newly released Titanium Milanese Loop. I know it is technically compatible but I was wondering if this combination looks weird. Any thoughts?

I think the color is going to be off, not sure the new one will work with the S9. Before ordering or investing the money I would wait till released and compare at an Apple Store.

Stainless steel has a sleek polished look while titanium has more of a matte, slightly darker tone. The difference in texture might stand out a bit but if you're into a subtle contrast it could be a great choice.

I tried this combination but reversed.... I tried using a stainless steel milanese loop with my Titanium AWU... and it did not look good at all.... the different tones in the metals looked way off.

That band is for the Ultra but I much prefer the latch to the regular magnet one.
But the compatibility lists other watches, so I’m confused.

Ultra Bands are compatible with the larger size 44/45/46mm non-ultra watches. Just as 44/45/46mm bands are compatible with the Ultra watches.

I have the black model and it is quite lite . . .

Prefer the Apple leather magnetic bands but they have discontinued out of stupidity!

I look forward to seeing vids/pics of the Ultra's Milanese strap in black on the 46mm Slate S10.

It might not be too bad. I wear the original silver stainless link band on my natural titanium Ultra 2 and I think it looks great together. So this band and the S9 would basically just be the inverse.
