bro you're so talented! this is setting the bar crazy high for my expectations from reviewers now lmao everything about the video was just so well shot and edited together, i subbed within the first 47 seconds. great work man

The intro transitions were so seamless 🔥

Hey Fresh, I’m watching a ton of Apple Watch videos right now and I keep coming back to you. I stick to the end and love what you do. Top rate editing, no filler, no narcissism, just the facts. Serious respect, sir.

I am absolutely convinced this is another MKBHD, Dave2D level of quality channel and it’s criminal how under-discovered this channel is. Those transitions and shots were 👌

I bought one of the Amazon Ocean straps in orange and absolutely love it.

I have the spigen band. I use it everyday. I dumped the orange alpine one that came with the Watch as soon I got it.

After the second transition, I subscribed so quickly. This right here is quality content. Thank you for your awesome work.

Thank you for doing the work some of us are too hesitant to do, buy a whole bunch, test, return.

Feelin your vibe young brother. Great review! Im subbed. 💯

Pro tip on the Alpine Loop, fit it the other way around to the suggested way, clasp side at the bottom, its super easy to do up compared to clasp topside.

I love my spigen band

Oh I need that green/orange paracord

I can confirm that the spigen band is absolutely comfortable been wearing it for a month , no regrets also I’ll be using it for my Apple Watch ultra soon as it’s delivered.

great review it takes alot effort to buy 13 bands and go through this process great work!

This is the best  review today ! Appreciate your honesty

Great review bro 😎 👍🏻 I’m wearing a ultra with alpine band as well. I get the black scuba 🤿 next !

daaaang bruvah. quality is top notch.

Good review, ty for sharing

i like the Spigen band... imma get a set as 3 of my band broke in one week... well after 2year of nonestope use to im not complaining. I really like Spigen stuff!

Nomad Titanium band is 🔥🔥🔥

New to your channel and I'm a big fan already! 👏🏻 Love the quality here. 🙌🏻. My AWU strap (trail loop) is already discoloring on the orange accent part. 😬 $100 is a lot to ask Apple.

love that intro, amazing quality. keep up the good work

this content is so good, congratulations! the highest quality, the smooth transitions.. thank you for putting this level of effort!

Good work, no one is talking about thincc bands wich is what im looking for and you did!

Appreciate the video man. The Apple bands are great but $100 is hard to justify.

Awesome review thanks for sharing from Australia

Thanks for doing this video. The heritage van is my favorite for my ultra but I was looking for other bands for different occasions.

I used to buy straps in Amazon and I’ve gotten some defaults and I almost lot my Watch Series 5. I prefer buying original straps from Apple. Less choice for me, but more durability. I’m still using the sport loop black that I’ve bought with my Watch Series 5 and I run and do all sports in a very hot and humid country. I juste wash the strap after running. I’ll soon receive an Watch Ultra (Oct 26) with an Ocean band (blue color). I may use the same black strap with it though as it is very comfortable to wear! Price is one thing. Quality and durability is another thing which leads, for me at least to peace of mind:)

I got size 12 solo loop. Solo loop is best watch band period so long as you got size right and its 50 bucks cheaper than other apple bands

Great job on the video! Concise yet well explained!

bro your presentation and production is top notch.

Damn those bands were dope bro! When I’m ready to get the ultra I’ll definitely have to cop these!! Keep that pressure coming! And stay blessed!

I find the Ocean band just okay for surfing. A better band for my preference is the ND 60 super rugged series from Neredes. I surf 5 day a week, paddle board 3 to 4 days a week, throw some fishing and mountain biking in there . The ND 60 is so much more rugged.

A lot of these bands are really nice. The knock-off's are $4/each in Thailand. The same ones as the $25 on Amazon. The best thing is the extra colors. I have a solid black Alpine loop and it looks awesome. Also, lots of extra colors in the ocean band. For the ocean bands, real or fake, you actually need the Apple extension band $50 to get one big enough for a big cold water wetsuit. Right now I have every Apple band equivalent and about 10 colors they don't make for less than 1 actual Apple band. The Apple band that came with my watch was the midnight ocean band and I really like it also and it's better, but maybe $10 better, not $96.

Just subscribed..very informative and precise. Looking forward to viewing more content.

I don't even own an Ultra, just a Series 8. But this video popped up in my suggestions, and I love your in-depth reviews! Subbing and can't wait for more content!

Wow! you pick out awesome, Bands!

Thank you I did enjoy your commentary on the Apple Watch and bands

Spectacular Video! Buying because based on your review!!!

I upgraded 7 to 8. Had every Apple Watch since original. After watching reviews ordered an Ultra and accidentally ordered small Alpine Loop and it works but hard to get over hand and although little small still works. Too difficult to exchange because have to exchange watch and band. Ordered knock offs from Amazon and actually really like them but to be honest my favorite band for the Ultra is the Midnight Sport band like I have on my 8 and it dresses up the watch. Had a new one still in a box so wearing it on the Ultra. Thanks

Agree with the other commenters with how excellent the quality of Fresh’s content is. This video just popped up in my feed. I am really impressed with the professionalism. Got a new sub from me. Keep up the great work.

Wow. That intro sequence was clean.

Great and honest review! Well done!

I am glad Milanese bands work well with the Ultra, since I own several in good shape and feels good. I have BIG wrists too and I appreciated your sharing other options. I saw your Ultra video (and watched others for a month_ before ordering it. Watch comes next week. I really enjoy your style, no-nonsense opinions and fluid speech without a lot of filler to appease the KZfaq algorithm gods. Video editing is so nice too! Can't believe only 9000 subs.

Great presentation

fire intro, and was looking for a video like this since i just got it as well. Thank you!

Out here grindin!💪🏽 another dope video man.

Just brought the official alpine loop band as the ocean strap was irritating my wrist. It might cost £100 but boy is it worth it. It’s like wearing a completely different watch and not the Ultra. My worry was keeping it clean, but many people said oxy washing powders works well.

Great content. Love the transition between bands.

I order all my band from the A and they work great

Great review

I put my Apple Midnight Leather Link band on my Ultra today. I didn’t like it when I first got the Ultra last year, but now I’m liking the look. Did you ever try that combo?

Dope video thx for doing a video like this Fresh

Hi again, I saw the Spigen band online and I really liked the simplistic look, but it seems like the buckle is on the "side" of the wrist. Some reviewers said that it was really uncomfortable. What's your take on the buckle being slightly unusual positioned?

i ordered 3 of the parachord bands... theyre super nice but too bad...they dont fit my wrist. Brand new...will list on ebay soon.

You should try the apple trail loop band. Thank You for the great video p

Those Ultra Wide bands…just to be clear, they fit the Ultra exact or are they the 45mm size?

Solid filming!

Try stealing my watch with the paracord band LOL

FYI, the Spigen watch band is on a 30-day backorder now. Just ordered from their website. Used your link to Amazon but it’s currently unavailable.

Great video! Thank you.

Apple sells a much larger extension piece for the ocean band.

Another great video, loving your channel!

nice new style😎👍

Subscribed! Love your content man! ❤

Great video, subbed!

Good reviews. Take my sub 👍

nice collections bro

Bro, SHEEEEESH 🔥🔥🔥🔥.... great video, almost makes me wanna buy one 😂 but then I look at my Bank account 🥴. keep crushing it brother

good vid. sub'd I love the ocean band. I feel like there is some understated quality you may not get in cheaper alternatives.

Difference in "silicone" bands from apple watch (ultra or standard) is that it's made with fluoroelastomer, which behave different when it gets wet and it doesn't rip your hairs from the arm. Fake bands are just silicone, which, when wet, gets very sticky to the skin. Great review tho. Would they work with standard watch too?

I’m rocking the UAG(Urban Armor Gear) Active Watch Strap. A little pricey but can’t beat the build quality. I love it cuz the strap also has a thick width band that doesn’t look skimpy on the watch like many other skinny bands.

New sub - this is fantastic! Totally with you on the Ocean Band. I tried buying the extension, and it is comically large. So either you wear it as a tourniquet or a nice necklace.

Solid kick ass review man!!!! You gained a new subscriber 😎 sending tons of good vibes all the way from Winnipeg 💪

I picked my Ultra up with the Trail Loop and I am digging it. It's super comfortable and you can adjust it to a perfect fit. I am a major runner and this band is now my favorite. My old daily driver was the Nike Sport band.

Great review brotha 👊🏾

*UPDATE* you can actually buy an extension from Apple for the ocean band but it’s an extra $50 on top of the $100 for the Ocean band. Kinda crazy but its made out of Fluorosilicone which is a more resilient rubber composite that costs 10x that of regular silicone. If that’s your jam go for it lol but I’ll pass Thanks for watching everyone!

Great video. Keep it up!

Great video,i now subscribed..thank you

Cool editing! 😎 (misspelled first post, sorry)

Yoo ur channel is a top notch quality i hope u the best i just sub in a heartbeat thanks for this awsome review 🙌💪

I personally don't care for any of the Apple Ultra Watch Bands. My first Amazon band I got was a Nereides ND60 nylon band. It's very wide, and really looks odd with regular Apple Watches but with the Ultra it looks very good. The second band I'm using, to dress up the Ultra, is one of the Medium Brown Leather Apple Watch Bands I bought to use with my Series 6. This though has hardware that matches the Ultra perfectly and the medium brown leather really looks sharp with it.

Looking for a nice leather band to go with my Ultra for going to dinner, etc. Any suggestions?

Got the Amazon Ocean band and love it. Only cost $12. Went there because  didn’t make it in red. I have a mix of authentic & 3rd party. My favorite ones are knockoffs. Wearing a glow n the dark band now 😂

Thanks. Which Milanese loop would you recommend?

Tefeca velcro bands are the best!!!

Can you keep it clasped and just take the bands off from the insert points? May make it more convenient.

Show us clear protection bumpers

I got a ocean band from amazon, and I have to say that I love the soft silicone, but the retainer clips are too big and end of the band easly popes out, stretches too much and creates those ugly gaps by the attachment points. I will rock that one around but if it comes to diving, apple watch band will be my to go band, feels very secure and sits properly in the attachment area.

That Spigen band is legit, only downfall is that it doesn’t come in multiple colors, I have silver aluminum case for my iWatch Ultra and the finish on the buckle compliments my watch perfectly. A navy blue band would be my go to. I also purchased the savior band I would not recommend it, the paracord is way too stiff and for smaller wrists it doesn’t fit well and quite frankly is a pain to get on so I would skip that one.

Legit subscribed cuz u remind me of my fav cousin lol

I was waiting to see most of these bands on your wrist so we could see what they look like.

Sounds like the rumors about the Ocean band sizing are true. Thank you for saving me a purchase and return… 😬

If the connection point is not metal/titanium then it's not really a comparison, it's just a cheaper made version/option. As someone that has purchased cheap knockoffs on amazon for apple watches I can confidently say most of the time the cheaper cost is reflected in the build quality and you can certainly witness that in this video. Now I'm not saying Apple bands are worth the money, that's up to your pocket book but I will say they last a long time whereas the cheaper versions not so much and the quality certainly isn't the same. Also, last note...if you buy a 5 pack of bands like the mesh stretch ones shown later in the vid, pay attention to that cheap thin plastic connection point, last thing you want is that to pop off. Cheap plastic like that will overtime bend and re-mold due to heat and stress causing the connection point precision to change.

Hi. Ich wollte das Grün orangene Band bestellen. Ich bin aus Österreich. Leider funktioniert das bestellen nicht. Warum? Liebe Grüße

which one would be the most secure on my wrist? had a problem with that when i have the apple watch SE

What size wrist are you please? I think you mentioned in a previous video but I forgot? 😄

Nice video Fresh

Informative. Is there an Italian made leather band for the Ultra ?

Do you know how wide the apple watch bands are? 20mm or 22mm
