Күн бұрынYou have to pick a watch band when you buy the new Apple Watch Ultra. I struggled with that a bit but I have some ideas for you.
Best place to buy the Apple Watch Ultra: amzn.to/3LReO2p
Here are the 3rd party options I talked about in the video:
9 style Alpine Loop: amzn.to/46XLTlr
Ocean Band: amzn.to/3Q9mSOd
Trail Loop: amzn.to/3DwVH8p

I have the Watch Ultra with the Ocean Band and another Trail Loop. The Ocean Band is my favorite by far. Knock off bands? No way. The Watch Ultra is expensive enough and I don’t want to lose it because of a crap band… Excellent video!

I think a lot of people are going to agree with you about not using a knock off band. I can't imagine losing the AWU to the bottom of the lake because I bought a cheap Ocean band. I will say some of the knock off straps I have here seem to lock in pretty well. So far so good 🤷♂️ Thanks for posting your feedback Brunode!

What an amazing video Matt! The production quality is absolutely fantastic!! I too own the Ultra and struggled with band selection. Ultimately I settled on the Ocean band, alternating between the white (which I have on now) and the midnight ocean. Keep up the extraordinary work!
@mlegrand Жыл бұрын
That midnight ocean looks 🔥 Personally, I think the Ocean band was the right choice solely for the fact that it's the best value. After that some of the third party options are really interesting. There's also some fantastic options I didn't talk here. There's lots of very unique looking bands out there.

I have all three original Apple bands so here are my thoughts. I bought my watch with the black Trail Loop which is the most comfortable and the one I prefer to wear for casual use and for sleeping. You’re correct about the orange tab getting dingy. When I run I always use the yellow Ocean Loop as it fits the best when I’m sweating. It hasn’t faded and looks as good as the day I got it. I wear the orange Alpine Loop to mix it up and agree it looks the best.

I’m using the ocean band for working out and I switch it up with the trail loop as it is very comfortable to wear.

Really appreciate the honest opinion - I'm planning to get the Ocean band, not because I am a diver but because I always use the Apple Watch when working out in the gym and because I often am in hot humid locations where I sweat easily. The Ocean band to me would be better under this conditions - easy to clean and withstand moisture without getting dirty. Trail Loop - nahhh, don't choose anything with Velcro which will wear out over time, like the look of the Alpine Loop but I think will get dirty over a period of time especially with moisture often on my wrist. Hope I'm making the right judgement, your video helps tremendously - thanks !

It's hard to do different stuff and I kind of feel sorry for you guys that have to suffer through my experimentations. 😂 As for the 965 or Ultra, I think it'd come down to if you want a smart watch or a endurance sports watch. There are trade offs. I think the Ultra might feel more bulky only because it sits up higher on the wrists but I still haven't been able to get a 965 for review. I'm trying. Hope all is going well with training!

Thank you for the great review :-) I bought the black Ocean Band and an orange Alpine Loop with my Ultra (the bands are a 'mere' or CRAZY $147 each here in Australia). Then I discovered third party bands on eBay and Amazon. Among other bits, I bought an orange Ocean Band for $6 on eBay. It came with shiny/ glossy metallic fittings. I used a rougher grade scourer pad, made for perfect removal of scratches from Omega brushed stainless-steel watch bands, to brush the bright metal bits on the cheap bands, bringing them into agreement with the titanium case and band fittings on the Ultra. Then there's the subject of very slimline native or colored titanium or stainless-steel bezels with integral screen protectors... here you'll find they run the gamut of elegant to awful--the one I'm using shows virtually nil fingerprints compared to the bare screen which pleasantly surprising.

I got the the alpine loop but it is still unopened as none of the ultra bands appealed to me. I ended up going with the braided solo loop which is still a staggering $99. I find it extremely comfortable and it is seamless so will not come off during any activities. Just to note if you do go with a solo band when you use apples measuring tools make sure to go down 1-2 sizes from apples recommended fit. They said i was a size 7 and the size 5 fits perfect. They also offer rubberised versions of the solo loop for $50 so if you swim alot this would be the version to get. Highly recommended and for me the best official bands on the market currently.

I do like the feel of the blue trail loop because it’s softer and snug with the elastic and I often put it on for a race. I haven’t had it come loose or come undone. Both of these do annoy me that they stay wet though especially if they are sweaty after a run and you go to put the watch back on for work and it’s all sweaty. If you wash it then your shirt sleeve will be wet when you go to work. So on balance I would pick the ocean band as my favourite overall. It’s very secure for racing too.

I mostly use Premiere Pro but this intro was made using After Effects. I worked hard on this one. Turns out no one cares. 😆

@@mlegrand Not true...I appreciate the work on this intro and I think most people do also. Not implying that you have to do that on all future videos, but I always appreciate the design effort of all cinematography. Thanks for going the extra mile!!

Sorry about that. I updated them just now. These cheaper options tend to come and go. Keep me posted on what you think of them. 👍

That's basically what I've done. It's actually nice to switch them out regularly after a swim or whatever so you're not stuck with a wet wrist band on your wrist for half the day. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

Qaulity over quantity. You don’t want to lose your watch when the band breaks.
