It’s on my wishlist, I still have the Ultra 1, hoping for the next Ultra to be a bit slimmer to justify upgrading.
Got a tip for us?

Same here. That’s why the AWU is still a brick 🧱 to me. Albeit the ocean band and trail loop still looks good on regular Apple Watch ⌚️! Which color do you prefer?
A great tool to remove the dust in the tubes of the ocean bands, is a small bulb squeeze thing that comes in cheap camera lens cleaning kits, that’s what I use. Ocean bands are my favorite for the Ultra.
Ohhh so all the OG Apple Watch Ultra bands colors. Midnight was the one before the fully black ocean band came out with the completely black trail loop.
Was thinking of doing that. Are these the air blowers used for getting dust off keyboards 🎹? I thought of using a cotton swab to clean it out like when I clean the AirPods ear meshes with my screen cleaner. Thanks friend.
Denim BSL (looks almost identical to one of my other straps!)
I do like ocean bands . From non ultra I like some nike bands like pure platinum , Blue flame and some sport bands
Bud, look at my photo above your post.
Do you think they are too similar?
Would you exchange it?
Denim looks lighter on the app.
Yes, silver titanium.
The denim BSL arrived today, but it looks almost identical to one of my other straps.
I don’t know whether to keep it, or return it.
Yes. Looks like spend your money twice for almost same band…
If it was me I’d exchange for another colour
Keep the one on the right. As a FYI man, even if you go to the Apple Store every week or two, like me, do not buy a band unless if you really like it while you try it on, and it fits you best. Even the solo loop sizing regulations have been a little different due to the longer cases of the series 10, so the new ones are usually longer in length even if unstretched.
Wow ocean bands all the way? These look great on regular Apple Watch too! I heard a few Apple Watch Ultra users that they prefer more on trail loops and alpine loops due to allergies on silicone bands, and all of the ultra bands as they are all suited for hiking trails, fishing 🎣, swimming and all types of outdoor activities and sports. That link bracelet isn’t bad, at all. Still like the OGs
Trail and Alpine are very comfortable but I don’t like the buckle 🤣
Both these bands you also have to wear it the other way around unlike the regular sport loops, as Apple recommends it as the tab in the trail loop can snag on fishing rods and lines, crossbows, and other outdoor gear.
I have tried a size one before but the S10 would render it a size 2
My solos all fit perfectly, mate.
I know what you mean, re not wanting to leave the Apple Store without buying one 😀.
Can you see the difference in colour, between the two?
To me, the denim is just a tiny bit lighter.
Wishing you well.

See pictures 👇 man…
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The older blue one from the Apple Watch series 9 days looks better, return the denim one. Looks so much the same, sir.
