Just took delivery of a 4 pack of alpine loop knockoffs. Green, and non-Apple colors Black, Blue and Gray.
Rain gold 4 Pack Alpine Loop Bands Compatible with Apple Watch Ultra 49mm 45mm 44mm 42mm 41mm 40mm 38mm, Nylon Sport Wristband for Men Women, Titanium G-Hook Strap for iWatch Series 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 SE
The green alpine loop on the outside in the pics came with my ultra.
This 4 pack is a steal. Other than the “49mm” label on the inside and a few VERY minor fit and finish details (mostly the cut of the narrower, loop fabric at the ends) these are every bit as good as my Apple one. The wider, main band is a different fabric than the official band, but very close and not necessarily a cheaper fabric. The lugs and the g hook are the same size and 98% the same finish. The g hook in particular, I can’t tell the difference. The lugs are just a hair looser than the apple lugs in the watch.
For $6.50 a band, they are the best value knockoffs I’ve bought, and that goes back to the original sport band knockoffs in the original neon colors when knockoffs first started showing up on Amazon years ago.
If you like this style band, jump on these. Having nicer colors options (just IMO) is icing on the cake.
The side view of the watch is the official lug on the right and the knockoff on the left.
