Time after release, there are a lot of bands designed for the Apple Watch Ultra. Here are our favorite bands from Apple and other parties for any situation.
Bands for the larger Apple Watch sizes will fit the Apple Watch Ultra. But, since the new sport-centric Apple Watch has an ever-so-slightly adjusted body, some bands don’t fit it quite right, or look right, with the titanium build.
It’s been over seven months since the watch first hit store shelves and it seems manufacturers are just now finally showcasing bands that were designed with the Apple Watch Ultra in mind.
We wanted to first start by highlighting Apple’s first-party solution that it launched alongside the Apple Watch Ultra. These task-oriented bands have corresponding titanium hardware that perfectly meshes with the premium wearable.
The Alpine Loop is also for outdoor users. It has a climbing-inspired design that looks like something you’d find on a technical backpack or rock climbing harness.
Apple uses a custom S-clip to lock the band into place. The Alpine Loop is a single piece and the whole thing has loops, it is incredibly adjustable.
Leather Links
Beyond the three official bands, Apple has an arsenal of other bands that will support the Apple Watch Ultra. Any 42mm, 44mm, or 45mm band should theoretically fit.
Two were especially nice when paired with the Apple Watch Ultra, starting with the Leather Link.
Stainless Steel Link
Finally, from Apple is the stainless steel link band. It is one of Apple’s original crop of bands, but it holds up here with the Apple Watch Ultra.
Even though it is steel and not titanium, they look good together. They have slightly differing finishes, but you’d only notice if you have an exceptionally keen eye and that sort of thing irks you.
