Same, the Ultra is a tough watch for athletes, campers and outdoor activities but its size being a brick on my wrist is the downside, despite that the Trail Loop colors are nicer than sport loops in general.It looks fine! I think these days it comes down to which of the following is most important, do you want a traditional watch look, or do you enjoy having a larger screen more. For me the first matters more, I have a 17.5 cm wrist and wear a 41mm S9, which looks to my eyes like the traditional watches I used to wear. I tried the 42mm S10, and actually really liked how that fit and looked as well.
The 46mm one didn't work for me, as both the S/M and M/L straps meant I was pretty much on the first hole, or the last hole of the sports band; on the 42, I'm bang in the middle! I actually preferred the Ultra, it seemed somehow more stable on my wrist, and it's meant to look large and imposing if that makes sense. 46mm or Ultra seems like a dilemma if I had to choose.
Why didn't you get the strap with black hardware?
That is fine Nomad rocky point bands do not have metal lugs, so the buckle is not too much to worry.Because this one was on eBay UK brand new for £50...
The one with black hardware is £80 and has to come from the States; no UK stock
I got it from AliexpressI like that band. Who makes it, if you don’t mind saying?

Yes it’s the new Slate Link Bracelet meant for the Slate Ti Apple Watch. I love it with my Black UltraLooks polished on the sides; these are meant for Slate titanium and graphite AWs.
Interestingly that polishing on the sides seems to be new. I have the original stainless link bracelet with the matte brushed sides that paired with the polished case of the watch, it actually works fine I think. I think the Space Black Link would've been my choice though. Can pick those up cheap as well now.Looks polished on the sides; these are meant for Slate titanium and graphite AWs.
