+1 for Nomad! Had their bands on every Apple Watch I’ve owned. Durable, looks great, and glad I got to see the rugged with silver hardware on the ultra! Thanks!
Good video, my brother! I chose to rock my gray nomad sport loop with the ultra and it is magnificent, by the way, the apple stainless steel bracelet can’t miss with it. Thanks for your share.
Thank you for doing this video. I’m not sure about the Ultra and part of my indecisiveness is because of my collection of watch bands! This was very helpful!
They make the Buckle strap.....but only for the smaller Watches. Forgot the exact time they discontinued doing the 44/45mm sizes. Think it was the same time they made the large size Leather bands exclusive to 44mm.
I wish Apple would do a wider titanium Milanese loop designed for the ultra One from a previous generation would probably keep loosening up too much from the difference in the weight the magnets are designed to hold.
Awesome video. I would scoop the ultra up but I wished they offered at least a graphite or matte black color option. I might have to stick with grabbing the stainless steel series 8 in graphite. But I think the nomad black band went best with it as I like the more subdued color options. Which is why I don’t like any of the standard aluminum series 8 colors. The classic blue navy buckle did look good as well as the brown.
@@seanybreeze315 the spigen thin fit is nice I have it for my SS graphite series 7 but I’ll consider it. I just know apple and they will probably make more colors down the road and I can wait.
@@kaiichinose9590 I feel you. I told myself I wouldn’t buy an ultra and wait for the two but. . . I couldn’t help myself 🤣. One of my many “firsts” of apple products I just had to have so I could say I had the original 🤦🏾♂️
Matt-I cannot express to you how blessed I feel to have found you today!!! I know “blessed” may sound a bit overboard when discussing Apple Watch bands & the like, but you, your tempo, your speech patterns, whatever it is - a combo of several things to be sure, certainly landed today. I feel so…ummmm…bad that presenters / speakers have to put up with listeners like me (😂) at home. (I’m trying to be as diplomatic as possible 😅). You don’t have any issues speaking, you are PERFECT! A few minutes in you had enough wherewithal to mention you were sorry to be talking too much & I almost fell over. First, you weren’t - anywhere near - but you are highly self-aware & that’s rare these day’s & becoming more so. Your info was great. I signed up, I am receiving all your alerts as well! I turned 50 Monday and live in the rugged parts of NC (where the idiot who bombed the Olympics hid out) & I love to snow ski, fly fish, go to my cabin with my Boston terrier, “T”, watch college / pro football & basketball & just run my airbnbs. This watch is perfect for this area. Your reviews are so incredibly spot on. Thank you for creating content for someone like me, even though I LOVE my apple gear & never let new stuff sit long before gobbling it up. 😋 Have a great end of your year, and holiday season to you and your family my (new) friend! Stuart
Wow. Stuart! I would say I’m at a loss for words but then I couldn’t thank you for your kind words. Thank you for watching the video and I’m glad that I could help break down the bands for you and fill your time with entertainment. Happy belated! Today is actually my 35th and from the sound of it, I want to be you when I grow up! I appreciate you coming a long for the journey. 😀
Awesome video Matt! I have a few bands too from Nomad. Yes, they never miss. I got the same ash green sport band and i paired it with my ultra. I preordered the orange version of the sport band. The other nomad straps i got is the same black rugged band and their steel bracelet band. That combined with the ultra is 🔥 I also have apple’s leather loop in golden brown, sport loop and the steel milanese loop.
Nomad was great. Definitely ordering for my ultra. Wasn’t a fan of the Milanese loop. Thanks for going through these. Did the same with my collection and I was only a fan of a few of the combos.
You introduced few great insights in this video starting with easing up strap selection which I found very helpful followed with the observation that the ultra was a good replacement for the phone, something I’ve doing since series 5. Great video 👍
1:44 , this is the exact band I got also. It was ONLY available in small at local Apple Store on Fri. Surprisingly it fit the my wrist (which is 190.5mm) , but a slight struggle to get it around my hand. BUT...at least I got the watch and figured a larger band would be back in stock within 14 days. That did happen yesterday. Quick exchange for the Medium band and it's perfect. I'm new to these kind of bands and I do like the fit and comfort of this one, I have the old silicones that came with previous versions, but mostly steel and leather bands. Just happy this watch works with my older Series 1 AND 4 bands!
Glad you got the size you wanted! I actually did small/medium this time vs medium/large and I noticed my hand was a little tighter to get it through. If you haven’t yet check out the braided solo loop in store and see what you think.
@@justmattgrayI have been looking at those online, Apple's site....Not bad. I do need to get a correct fitting...stopping by the Apple Store I can get that, try it on and see how it feels. I admit it has taken some time to get used to this Alpine Loop...just not used to it I guess - slight love/hate relationship with it. Not worried about scratching this obviously :) , it's very comfortable, no tearing so far. Just feel like a putz sometimes getting this on and off. (dont ask..lol, I know its not rocket science) More used to steel bands I've purchased for my old SS Series 4. I do like these SUPER WIDE fabric bands I see on Amazon, other sites...but reviews are mixed, especially with the clasps that actually attach to the watch. Nah...dont need my watch totally coming off my wrist due to crappy manufacturing. Even "knockoff" Ocean Bands..the band I truly wanted (not paying $99 silicone OEM Apple), but again..mixed reviews, and QC issues with those on Amazon, Ebay, other sites.
Yoooo....... I was just curious, as I JUST got my Ultra, and thought the idea of this video appealed to me. But man....that opener...you choosing the Black Unity Braided Solo Loop......✊🏾 For all the reason, I LOVE the Braided Solo. Now the fact you chose the BU band.....🫡. That's like my daily. Holds up to light abuse of my job, and comfortable, IF you get right size. I love the Blue bands for the hue and utilitarian style it has with my outfits, but that Black Unity is next level. Think I'll get another just to use for casual/formal outings. My currents B/S Loops: Blue (the initial one from 2020), Red (same), Pride (try to get every version for support), and Black Unity. Sorry this is long (likely TLDR) but had to say something. Thanks for listening. ✌🏾
You are so lucky to have the original Classic Buckle in Product Red! Great video, enjoyed it a lot! Also - it was funny when you mentioned people that have 2 watches, I use my Series 0 Stainless Steel for high-end nights, so you aren't alone!
Series 0 stainless steel! I’m jealous. I regret trading mine in. It was so nice. Especially after a gentle polish before a nice event 😍 Thanks for watching!
I’m liking the look of the Gray Nomad sport band. My favorite band is the stainless steel link band from Apple, it looks awesome with the Ultra. I also have a Series 7 that I’m holding on to for now, mainly because trade value was ridiculous. It’s also nice to be able to throw it on while my Ultra is charging if I want to get in a workout or go for a walk and track my calories.
i did not know you could use two watches on the same iphone, but putting on your 7 whilst the Ultra charges... it takes 45 mins to charge nearly 80% and around 1 hour to full. I just put my ultra on whilst i fire up my PS5
I got the nomad titanium band, matches the color of the watch perfectly. It comes with a tool to remove links, it’s not too hard to do. Just takes a little time
My gripe with metal bands is that the slide action to mount them on the watch can cause a stripe of damage which ruins the aesthetics. you know, where the attachment slides into the titanium channel of the watch. I was very keen on getting a cheap but instant solution for my new watch, but heck, it's plainly ridiculous to have some visible damage already after the first use. Not to mention the ridiculous non-fit of those cheap garbage straps. Do yo remark any of this on the nomad titanium?
I actually bought the Nomad Rugged to replace the same green loop band you have and it looks nice on my wrist. I ordered the Nomad sport band in the orange to match the watch accents. It will be delivered in November.
Great video! Which is your absolute favorite? Also do you think it looks or feels too big on your wrist? I’m debating between the 8 stainless steel or ultra.
The unity braided solo loop is my favorite. And I’ve had the larger watch since the series 0 and I have smaller wrists so I’m used to it. Either way I always found that the bigger battery is worth it. I’d go for the ultra over stainless steel. Feels like more value. Maybe grab a stainless used series 7 Hermes haha.
I just ordered the Nomad Sport Band in Orange, which they are releasing for the Ultra in November. But if you order today, you get 25% off! Check it out. Should be a killer color for the Ultra.
New band ... I think some company (if not Apple) will offer an adapter so the old bands can still be used with the new band connection... that could be EVERY band company.
Matt, dude great job. Great video! I liked it and I subscribed to your channel. Really appreciate your work. Now I Know what band I want for the Ultra. Cheers 🥃
Hey Matt. New subscriber. I really enjoyed this video. I’ve had my Apple Watch for less than a month. I like the Nike black and green band with the holes. Im not a fan of the cloth bands. My question to you is would the Walmart brand bands be lesser quality than the Apple Original band that with it?
The magnetic strap is pretty slick, but I have also heard that apple watch straps that use magnets can possibly affect the compass app. I would not have expected the compass app actually use magnets but I wouldn't know myself so if you're gonna be using the magnetic strap check to see if it actually messes with the compass.
You know I haven’t heard of this at all. With the ultra having better gps and compass tech I wonder if it’s no longer an issue. Should I see inaccuracies on the compass app? I can compare with my series 7.
@@justmattgray I heard in passing from another Apple Watch video, unfortunately I don’t remember which video it was ^ ^’ it was likely commented as speculation so I can’t say how credible the claim is. But yeah let us know if it’s an actual thing!

Anytime. Thanks for watching!
I have a few Alpine loop bands for my Ultra.the Ultra is the best Apple Watch I’ve had so far.
This was definitely the apple watch ultra vid I was looking for. Thanks
🙏🏽🙌🏽
I really love this watch I just want it because it’s big
Good video, my brother! I chose to rock my gray nomad sport loop with the ultra and it is magnificent, by the way, the apple stainless steel bracelet can’t miss with it. Thanks for your share.
Yoooo thank you! I’m hoping to try the Apple stainless again or nomad titanium soon. I did have the Apple stainless once upon a time with my series 0.
The „standard“ Sportsloup is still the best band Apple has ever done for the watch. Use it withe Ultra as well 👍👍
I’m new to Apple Watches and just picked up an Ultra. Thanks for making this. Really helpful.
🙏🏽
Thank you for doing this video. I’m not sure about the Ultra and part of my indecisiveness is because of my collection of watch bands! This was very helpful!
Glad to help! I had the same concern before my purchase.
The milanese one surprised me because I always thought it would be too delicate. I might try it out now
Dude....great job. thanks for the fine work.
🙏🏽 yooo thank you!
Thanks for the insights. Couple things,
Milanese 45mm band?
Nomad Lunar Gray - I found lots of them but MOST of them did NOT have the specks on them….
I wonder if my band was an early mold
I love the green alpine band on you😍
Nomad has their orange ultra limited sport band. I preordered it I freakin can’t wait
That orange looks amazing. I’ll be grabbing one too.
This was a perfect video bruh! Bought the Apple Watch ultra today and immediately started looking for different bands
Glad to help 🙏🏽
I’m liking the Nomad. The Leather looks cool as heck but I’m afraid I’d lose it somehow.
Thank you, I had been curious about the Nomad bands and was glad to see them shown. 👍🏼
🙏🏽 happy to help
This is definitely the video I was looking for.
Milanese pairs so well ❤
It really surprised me
some bands go surprisingly well
nomad ash green and the ultra looks good together, debating on it
They make the Buckle strap.....but only for the smaller Watches. Forgot the exact time they discontinued doing the 44/45mm sizes. Think it was the same time they made the large size Leather bands exclusive to 44mm.
Im going to be using the Trail Loop, Solo loop
(Blue/Grey)(S/M) with the Apple Watch ultra ⌚️in a few months when I get it
I wish Apple would do a wider titanium Milanese loop designed for the ultra
One from a previous generation would probably keep loosening up too much from the difference in the weight the magnets are designed to hold.
Great video man. Thanks - like you I have a ton of bands - and just ordered the ultra - was worried they wouldn’t work. Thanks man. Great bands ! 🎉
No way, I have the same exact combination from the first band lol. Love mine
Love my old bands fit
I do like the last, the tan leather strap, to coordinate with dress code, silver metalwork… just not 100% with the ultra. Thanks Matt.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for taking out the time to try on all those watch bands. You did an outstanding job!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching. It means a lot. 🙏🏽
Bands will make the ultra dance!
Seriously great video though. This gave me some ideas for my ultra.

I just book marked the Nomad site, thanks ... like the green band
Green looks amazing. Next to orange
Well done review! I liked seeing all the different options. Thank you
Can’t believe it took this long for someone to do this video. Great job. First time watch, instant sub! Nomad and midnight ftw.
Dark blue and titanium is my new personality. Thanks for the sub. 🙏🏽
First time following your channel definitely love the milaniese band and the ink leather band
I want to see the Gold Milanese Loop with the Ultra
Bro nomad better give you a promo code? I'm buying those nomad bands right now, they look amazing haha
Haha updated with my links.
You have a great narration and a great sense of taste, the video is beautiful, thank you very much my friend.
Thank you. This means a lot. 🙌🏽

My Apple Watch ultra arrives in a few weeks, so you know I had to cop that YNWA hoodie in the meantime.
My man. cop bros 2x
Alpine looks great. I like the leather loop with the magnets in navy too. Plus it’s easy to put on and take off.
I like the green alpine
🙏🏽

Midnight ocean band looks great 😊
Agreed!
Have you tried the silver link band? It looks really good on the ultra
Not yet. I wish I still had mine. Regretting it. May get the nomad titanium.

Trail loop is the most comfortable out of the new releases, can’t even feel it on my wrist.
Patiently waiting on mine to deliver
The solo loop is 🔥
🥶🥶🥶
I actually love the alpine strap style and have gotten multiple compliments on it
Also great video man!
Facts I like the new band design. It’s a more durable sport loop that we needed.
I’m confused. Apple doesn’t offer Thx leather with magnets band in 49mm. Only 41/45
New to the channel. All I needed to see was the hoodie. YNWA!!!
YNWA! 🙏🏽
nice video. I just pre-ordered (12/22 release) of the Nomad Sport Band, in Ultra Orange
I’m hype for this color.
There’s two titanium Milanese loop bands for the Ultra, one in natural titanium and one in black
apple should make a Nike band that matches the orange digital crown
Nomad was great. Definitely ordering for my ultra. Wasn’t a fan of the Milanese loop. Thanks for going through these. Did the same with my collection and I was only a fan of a few of the combos.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching
Great video for real. All of the bands look great with the Ultra
You introduced few great insights in this video starting with easing up strap selection which I found very helpful followed with the observation that the ultra was a good replacement for the phone, something I’ve doing since series 5. Great video 👍
Great bands but... BEST HOODIE ON UA-cam! 🔴YNWA🔴
YNWA! Thanks for coming through Alex!
Great comparison. Not loving the red band or the Nike band, but most look great.
Great and useful video. +1 for the Nomad, looks great. Also … where can I get the wooden box where you store your bands? Looks also great.
It's a box for holding sun glasses and keep sakes. Amazon.
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽

Loved your video. The green Nomad was the one.
Thank you! That green bounces off the titanium nicely in every lighting
Too dark you should get a light brother, it’s hard to see with the camera. But other than that new sub here good stuff!
Thanks man. I got one finally haha. Check out my latest stuff. More Apple Watch videos on the way too. Any you’d like to see?
Love the Sport Loop band for comfort. I bought the the Alpine band and I’m not loving it.
less comfortable than the sport loop. It’s more secure though
Can use many bands that looks solid on Ultra, even Apples link Bracelet looks decent IF you got the Black that is. :)

Milanese looks awesome!!!
Thanks for making this. Very informative.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching 🙏🏽
Matt---all the Nomads look great. I have the ocean and adventure bands from apple. For me very disappointed.
Damn that sucks. What about them disappointed you?
Great comparrison video. I loved the Nomad Sport Band. The Apple Classic Buckle was my least favorite.
I have 42 bands and 8 cases. Also have the carry case that holds it all
That’s a lot of bands! Haha
I’m liking the look of the Gray Nomad sport band. My favorite band is the stainless steel link band from Apple, it looks awesome with the Ultra. I also have a Series 7 that I’m holding on to for now, mainly because trade value was ridiculous. It’s also nice to be able to throw it on while my Ultra is charging if I want to get in a workout or go for a walk and track my calories.

i am thinking the same, the orange nomad whilst i work out and maybe the orange loop for weekends and when i am not running or swimming.
Great video! Which is your absolute favorite?
Also do you think it looks or feels too big on your wrist? I’m debating between the 8 stainless steel or ultra.
The unity braided solo loop is my favorite. And I’ve had the larger watch since the series 0 and I have smaller wrists so I’m used to it. Either way I always found that the bigger battery is worth it. I’d go for the ultra over stainless steel. Feels like more value. Maybe grab a stainless used series 7 Hermes haha.
