I've been using Ultras since they came out in 2022, I've never felt it uncomfortable and I like the way it looks, the most comfortable bands are the solos and braided, but I use it with all types. It's my favorite Apple product. I have the s10 I thought that because of the thinness at some point I would like it more but no, I always end up wearing the Ultra. For me the size of the wrist is not important as it fits me well, it is comfortable and I like big watches. Finally, the Northern Lights color is also one of my favorites because it is a bit unusual and contrasts nicely with the black color.

What size are you in solo loops?
Speaking of ultras, I attended a painting event at school and painted an Apple logo bag. I even made friends with another AWU2 user!
Navy ocean band x flash sport loop.
It looks very fun and the Apple logo is very cool. I wear size 2, my wrist is 145, by the way, I have the band you are wearing, I think I have over 100 that I have collected since the original Apple Watch.
Hey there! I’m curious, is the solo loop size the same when you wear your Series 10? You know, the folks who wear ultras? The really thick titanium casings on the Ultras pushes up the strap so much that it creates so much extra space that you have to size down.
I’m a size 2 and 3 in solo loops when the Apple Watch Store measured my wrist.
Wait, you collected the sport loops from the Apple Watch Series 3? That’s cool! I have like 6 sport loops!
For me the size 2 works with my s10 no problem, I have a variety of sport loops of all generations, I honestly don't know which is which because there are so many and I don't keep records of anything. The collection grew a lot because I have bought cheap originals on eBay and woot and have had all generations of Apple Watches since the first one.

Don’t you use Bandbriete?
Many AW wearers love it. It is made by an Apple Watch wearer in Germany 🇩🇪 for every Apple Watch wearer in the world. You can make use of all your straps like our S10 natural titanium Apple Watch wearer @The Cockney Rebel does by using random suggestions like I do for my strap collection, keep track of your bands and learn more about every strap in the database! A must have iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad app to keep as a resource.
Another flash sport loop shot:
Yeah, everyone mentions it a lot here, but it hasn't caught my attention, someday maybe 😊. Thanks for the recommendation anyway.
Hey, you gotta download Bandbriete! It’s a great way to keep track of your band collection and avoid duplicate straps. One of our Apple Watch Series 10 users accidentally bought a duplicate sport band and ended up returning it… bruh.
Plus, you can create a wishlist too!
You make it look like a must have, you almost had me convinced. I'm going to sleep on it.

If it's a 46mm it ain't a brick! ngl I tried it on and it does look good on you too!
That is a lit one there. Had you owned a woven nylon before?
Not usually a fan of the Ultra but you make it look so nice with that face and band. 😊
It's the 46, I like big watches. Yes I have a few woven ones too.

Just finalized the receipt/installation/pairing of my recent purchase: a NIB AW10 from a fellow MR Forum Member...
...I am upgrading from an AW6.
Thanks, Dude!
Paired it with a Misxi protective casing:
And a Sports Loop "Ink":
And here I find myself, after I shared that I would (previously/probably) never upgrade to something New

Congratulations on your new series 10! That case will definitely keep it safe and sound, so it won’t look like the scratched-up S6 you had before.Just finalized the receipt/installation/pairing of my recent purchase: a NIB AW10 from a fellow MR Forum Member...

I’m so glad you’ve kept it for so long!
I have a 165 mm wrist and I like how ultra sits on it. I really like the big screen. So far, I have 3 straps. I sold the previous watch, and I left the 8 41 series for my daughter in the pool to swim.

Hey there! Did you restart your band collection after you gave away the Apple Watch Series 8?
By the way, what’s your favorite strap? ❤️
Yes, of course. The series is 8 by 41 mm and the straps do not fit the ultra. Ultra I have only 3 days and it's too early to talk. And so far, there are only 3 straps to it .
Nice! I think the Space orange woven nylon looks bold in addition to the yellow woven nylon you have on both dark Apple Watches.
Didn't you have a modern buckle before, when you used to wear the smaller stainless steel 41/40s?
Wow, transitioning from a smaller model to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is quite the upgrade! Your larger wrists really complement the trail and alpine loops beautifully. I’m curious, what drew you to the Ultra model in terms of features? Is it the impressive long battery life that keeps you going on extended adventures, the loud siren for safety, the convenient action button, or perhaps the ability to customise with more complications on the two exclusive Ultra watch faces? Let me know!
A really interesting transition. When using huawei watch gt5, I realized the charms of a large screen and autonomy, but I missed the easy interaction in the system. And yes, the dial with a lot of extensions is very good.
Indeed they look great with the colors you mentioned, I'm going to wear them on the weekend 👍.
Yes, I had about 4 modern buckles, I gave that watch to my sister with bands and everything. At first, I was in denial that the big watch didn't fit me, but I got rid of that idea and haven't gone back, I tried but I never liked the smaller watch.
In fact, the same thing happened to me with the Ultra, I usually change watches on launch day along with my iPhone and this time I couldn't decide on the Ultra. It took me several visits to the Apple Store to finally buy it, like at the end of November, and I don't know why I limit myself at first if I know what I want and as I told you the Ultra has been my favorite Apple product ever since.
Oh, so in terms of iPhones, do you prefer the Pro Max model or stick to the smaller ones?
Try out the woven nylons!
This is a good transition to the Apple Watch Ultra after wearing the huge huawei watch before your first Apple Watch. Seems like y’all miss the large screen!
I like the woven ones, I use them often 🙂. I've always bought the iPhone Pro Max since it came out.
Hey, which color looks best on you?
Bandbriete kept suggesting the same colors today, so I asked Apple Intelligence to pick a random one.
Guess what? Siri gave me crimson red again! I absolutely love my new (and my first Nike) Apple Watch band! I only got it for $12 from the store two weeks ago.
This is one of the non-black Apple Watch Sport bands that has a space black or space grey pin. It’ll even look bold on black watches. And on gold stainless steel, it’s still a bold choice!
thx
The 10 was a stupendous deal.
I can still easily read the screen on the 6, but the dented-up won't-press side-button just made screenshots next-to-impossible (among other various functions).
The 6 still lives mostly-well, and I'll probably give it to one of my kiddos as a parting gift.
I'm not a Stone Mason, anymore, so I expect the 10 to persist in an intact state a lot longer
