So far, I don't think I've seen any band that didn't work with ultra. That natural titanium is a very neutral color that works with pretty much anything.
Got a tip for us?

Beyond the above, I'm sure the fact that it has a cell radio, WiFi and Bluetooth in it probably doesn't help. That'd be a mission liability.
And shiny silver.
Honestly, I think I am getting too much attention with the watch. Nice watch compliments and people just looking at the watch not me at the meetings are getting a little too much. I've never got those with watch 7 green. I absolute love the watch and the alpine loop band, but just getting too much unwanted attention make me think twice about keeping the watch.
I bought the Apple Watch Ultra on the strength of your photo and your answer of the size of your wrist, it was a decent drive of over two and a half hours so your recommendation was well received and appreciated. I was trying out a Apple Watch 8, I had, had it for about a week so could return straight to the shop. I agree, most of the photos of the watch give a skewed perspective, I have a size of between 8 and 9 on the Apple loop so was confident it wouldn't look overlarge after seeing yours, which looks great. Did I need the Ultra? Well, not really, I swim a bit in a pool and the climb up my stairs to my bedroom is rather steep, but having recently been diagnosed with cancer and at 65 years old, why not? I think I will live a bit and enjoy this watch, even though I could have got away with the series 8.
Wow, that watch looks great!
I almost didn't post that pic, but I'm so glad it helped you make this decision. Best of luck with your cancer treatment, and enjoy your watch!
It looks like many of us are going to wear the ultra with suits for wedding etc. only question is what bands are acceptable to wear with a suit.
In todays world anything is permitted and goes well. I wear my BLNR with anything. I’m also desiring to buy an ultra watch. Last time I tried an Apple Watch was the first ever. This ultra watch looks so nice. I need another everyday watch. $800 ain’t too bad. Can’t be wearing a watch that’s going for 20k on the resale market everyday.
I think whatever band someone likes is acceptable.
You can make it more discrete with a dark leather band or make a statement with a bold colour like the orange Alpine band.
It is no different than choosing a plain or colourful shirt or tie.
😀👍
Personally, I think a leather or stainless steel band is nice for more formal occasions. Things are a bit more casual today. But style still matters to me.
I went to a wedding yesterday. Although I wanted to, I could not wear the Ultra. None of my shirts had enough cuff clearance to allow the watch to slide easily under the cuff. This sounds trivial, but if you wear long sleeved dress shirts frequently with watches, you know that without enough clearance, your cuff just ends up bunching up against the watch. Gets a little worse once you throw a suit jacket over it. Usually the first place for your cuff to start fraying as well regardless whether you have enough clearance, but definitely will fray sooner if your cuff rides against the side of your watch.
Even with a French cuff, it was too marginal with the lip still catching a bit. No issue with the 45mm AW8 or any of my diver watches, so I went with the AW8 instead.
You are 100% correct. I think most people here who think otherwise do not wear a suit often. It may be okay for a one off wedding or funeral. Everyday ... no way. You'll spend more money on needing new shirts than the cost of the watch many times over.

I don’t know. Pre-covid, I wore cuffed shirts every day and big watches, and never had an issue. Rolex sub, GMT, Panerai. Fit under my sleeves. I got shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt, so not super expensive or one-off custom. I had to go into the office last Tuesday and wore one of my shirts, a jacket, and my Ultra on the Ink leather loop with no issues.
All my shirts are made-to-measure and fitted to my largest watch, which is an Omega Planet Ocean. The height is less of an issue - more a lack of taper, which most traditional watches tend to have as you go out to the lug. The Ultra is bit of a tall wall.
That said, if it works, go for it. Jury is out whether I size my cuffs to accommodate an Ultra next time I get a few shirts made.
I wonder if most people that wear typical daily watches, even the Apple Watch SS series, have shirts that already are sized well enough to accommodate the Ultra?
I don't always wear my suit coat. I do wear a suit daily with my Ultra. Most of my cuffs are JUST big enough for my Ultra to fit under, but you can see that it is tight. It also means I have to slide the cuff up with my other hand to be able to view the screen.
I think for a few $$, I could have the buttons moved just enough to solve this issue. I have moved away from dry cleaning my dress shirts, I just wash them in a separate load and dry with steam. This is what has stopped me from getting the buttons moved, if I were taking them to the cleaners, I would have done this immediately.
My GSS S5 fits my cuffs perfectly, and I can shoot my arm (stretch my arm out) to be able to see this watch, I can't do this with the Ultra.
I prefer to avoid suits. They cramp my Ultra 
Not to get too sartorial on a tech forum but a properly fitted shirt cuff is designed to keep the shirt sleeve at the wrist. So, for example, one can reach over their head without the sleeve sliding too far up or, more commonly, prevent the sleeve from sliding up when putting on a suit jacket. Many shirts sold at retail have large or semi-adjustable cuffs that are very generous and may accommodate a large watch like the Ultra even though they are not a properly fitted shirt. So, for a bespoke shirt, a tailor, if asked, will make one cuff larger to accomodate a large watch while keeping the other cuff at the normal size.
Depends on how you wear your shirts. If you're a fan of an athletic or tailored fit, I'd say there's no shot. If you like a bit of room the shirts will sometimes also have 2 buttons on the cuff giving you an extra bit of clearance. You might get luck.
The Ultra is a tight fit though less because of the thickness, and more because of the lack of a taper as you go towards the band, which is how most watches slip under the cuff. It's a very industrial looking watch - very cool in its own right, but not really designed for cuffs.
Made-to-measure shirts leave very litle clearance unless you intentionally upsize the cuff on your watch wrist. Going into your sizing appointment, they will tell you to wear your largest watch to the appointment. You'll get measured a few ways usually - one is the cuff circumference to allow the watch to clear, one is when your arm is straight to make sure the sleeve is long enough to just barely cover the watch.
The year is 2022. There is no one way to wear a suit and dress shirt. The era of fitted cuffs on your dress shirt as the only standard for wearing a suit is old-school and archaic thinking. The era of wearing slim "dress watches" to slide into your cuffs is not the only way to wear a watch.
Made-to-measure shirts include fitted, loose, 2-button, 3-button, round, French, single, double, etc - this is the reason why they're made to measure - So YOU CAN BE YOU.
Back in the 70s, Gianni Agnelli wore his watch over his shirt cuff. A revolution for people to follow then. A faux pas now.
Enter the 2000s and we have fitted suits as the norm.
But traditionalists stuck in the past still herald this trend. Else, it's the end of civilization...yet again. We're back to being called buffoons. God help us all.
Here's a thought - fitted cuffs. Slim fit watch to slide under it? Sure if that's your style. IT'S NOT THE ONLY STYLE. And no, it's not the standard. Hasn't been since 2010 arrived.
Oh, and remember that watch over cuff?
And loose cuffs?

I’ve ordered this, I’ll try to remember to post a picture when it arrives.
