    I purchased this band with the series 6 watch. Now with the Ultra, it looks amazing. The only negative I have on this is that the links, being so close together, actually pull the hairs from my wrist. So now, once a month I shave my wrist. Love the band. Love the look, Hate that I have to shave. Thanks for another great video

    I scored mine accompanied with a SS Series 2 (it was cheaper than buying it separately). I definitely think it’s worth the price (talking about the Silver one). It’s surprisingly comfortable, better or equally to bands like the Trail Loop and/or the Sport Loop. I’m truly amazed how beautiful it is, pure craftsmanship iMo. It looks okay on the Ultra but obviously it’s not perfect. I re-brushed mine a few times to remove micro scratches and been considering brushing the sides to make it look more like the Titanium Ultra.
    Epic video, you’re starting the year off well. Happy New Year! Gratz on the 60K 🎉.

    Great video I bought the silver one after watching your video👍 My one shows the manufacture date of March 2023 so Apple still makes them! However my one’s link section is very hard to remove. Somehow the button on the link is very hard to click or press. The lady in the Apple Store literally spent half an hour with me to adjust those tiny sections for the right band size😅

    I bought one of the black bracelets to go with my black aluminium series 9 watch. I could not be more impressed or happier! Before buying this I thought of buying a Rado, but with time I have come to appreciate that this combo looks just as good as a Rado but outperforms them. The total cost is about £900 but Rados are even more costly and not as functional.

    I have this band in Space Black and really, really like it. Removing the links is incredibly easy; it's an amazingly intelligent design. However, I've noticed something about my wrist that I'm wondering if others have noticed about their wrist: I find that my wrist changes in size from day to day, and time of day. I don't know maybe, it depends on what I eat, whether I've gained a little weight. I've heard that your feet change during the day, early morning vs evening which affects trying on new shoes to buy. So, with respect to this link bracelet, sometimes it fits perfectly but then seems a little loose later in the day or the next day. I then remove a link and it feels fine, but then starts to feel tight later in the day. I go back and forth between these two settings. It's not a big deal but sort of weird. I'm not sure if it's just my perception and I'm firmly in the middle of these two link settings OR that my wrist does actual change in size and since I'm right in the middle of these two settings I keep going back and forth with regards to be most perfect comfort setting. Anyone else notice something like this?

    I got the silver bracelet 2 years ago I think. I wish I got the black one though. It’s holding up well. I was afraid it won’t be good for gym however it’s great for working out as well. In videos it looks better than reality, I wish I got the Hermes leather bracelet but I guess I need to stick this purchase for years. (Good to know it works with Ultra)

    feels like a gamble to me, i personally love apple products because they allways are worth it, but this is getting me thinking maybe im overthinking, but recently i brought a similar band to this on amazon for my apple watch s7 green, a green stainless steel bracelet, first month it was amazing even if it was heavy, but after that it showed ugly decoloration on the green revealing the silver under it and yes i was carefully with it, it decolorated by itself from contacting metal parts, i no longer own it since i gave it away to a friend nor do i regret buying it for 50-100 euro in amazon, im thinking whenever i should get this space black variant of it and if it fits my larger hands 165mm+, right now i own 2 bracelets from apple, alpine loop green 49mm and i love it but right now i wear leather link 45mm sequoia green both m/l to larger in size, i was debating about milanese loop also but then i recalled this exists. once again my concerns are easy scraches by band itself and the band being ugly after certain amonth of time because of colour fading, i have no concerns regarding price, quarity, durability or weight because i know they are 100% worth it.

    From Apple’s “About Apple Watch Water Resistance” page:
    “Classic Buckle, Leather Loop, Modern Buckle, Milanese, and Link Bracelet Bands aren't water resistant.”
    “Not all Apple Watch bands are appropriate for water use. For example, the stainless steel and leather bands aren't water resistant and shouldn't be exposed to liquids.”
