which band for the Ultra 2?

[Lucas Curious]

I mainly workout with weights or calisthenics at the park. Sometimes I run but now a daily thing. Currently I dont touch water.

Which band and color would you recommend for all day comfort and sleep comfort?

I went to the Apple Store to try on the Ultra 1 and I find all the stock bands to be kinda ugly. I guess the Ocean white one is interesting looking. This silicone one seems to also be slightly more comfortable and easier to put on and off compared to the cloth one but looks bulkier.

What would you Ultra 1 long term users recommend? I want to feel like I forget that the watch is on my wrist but also have workout comfort.

Also hoping to use the watch as an 80% phone replacement. Is the little keyboard almost just as fast as phone typing? Trying to avoid distractions and have all glorifications set to off on my current AW5 38mm
Thanks

I love the Trail Loop. Comfortable and good for sports. Alpine Loop is comfortable too but not so easy to put on and off like the Trail Loop.

I hate that they changed the Trail Loop color available to ship with AWU2. Wish they still had the black/gray with orange tab

I ordered a few bands along with my Ultra 2.
Got the watch with the blue/black trail loop but also ordered the olive Apline loop.
From Best Buy, I found last year's midnight Ocean band (which I like better than the new blue ocean band).
And from Nomad, I ordered one of their orange ultra sport bands.
Plus, I've got many bands from my previous watches that will look just fine with it, including a space black link bracelet which I'm looking forward to trying with it.

I’m not upgrading from my ultra v1 but if I were, it’d be the orange ocean band all the way. And the olive or indigo alpine would be next.

As an owner of a trail and alpine loop I also suggest the trail loop. Easy to adjust and so thin I don't feel the band on my wrist at all.
