For your first band listed under Third Party, I noticed that band is sticking out the sides of the watch. Is that intentionally or did you put a 'large band' on a 'small watch'?
It’s like that. It’s a copycat ocean band that is adapted to fit 41mm watches, and it’s a bit bulkier than the regular sport bands

Apple does not officially sell ultra bands for 40/41/series 10 42mm Apple Watch bands. You have to buy a third party

Got it - thanks!

Apple titanium band - quite happy with it.
 
Can you sleep with that band on your wrist?

I don't sleep with the watch on. It feels quite comfortable though.

The original band that came with the watch was the "alpine loop" which looks okay for a short while then looks grotty. Then replaced it with an Amazon titanium band (LDFAS brand). Now with the genuine Apple item.
 
I’ve always gravitated toward the Milanese Loop—started with the Series 4 in black, and I even got the new version for the Ultra 3 I recently purchased. It’s still my favourite.

It would be amazing if Apple updated the Link Bracelet with a titanium option in black. I recently checked out the Slate 46mm in-store, but it didn’t quite match the Ultra’s titanium finish. Honestly, that’s probably the only other band I’d be excited to add to my collection.
 
The magnetic stainless steel Milanese Loop was always my favorite until I got the titanium S10. Straight out of the box, the band had sharp edges that pulled my hair and threads from my cloth. I went to the Apple Store last week and exchanged it for the titanium Milanese Loop, which is much lighter and more comfortable!

I do not like that the side that loops sticks out

Same here on the loop.
 
I have many straps but my favourite is the new light blue Alpine loop on my Ultra 3!

I normally favour darker straps but there is something about this lighter blue I like a lot.

The do-it-all band for me is the ultra Milanese - it’s a great band and (although fiercely expensive) worth the money.

I did purchase a trail loop today which for running is a great band; room for both. But the Milanese is the ‘best’ band, no question.
