Do you buy 3rd party bands or knock off versions?

We have access shipping is usually 3-6 weeks I think. I’m sure these $15-25 bands are the same ones just bulked orders and marked up in price for convenience.

Thanks for the vid...I've been looking for additional bands for my Ultra but I surf daily here in SoCal which can bring challenges. I'm worried my $800 smart watch will be swimming with the sharks if I'm not careful or choose a band that can't take some serious get offs and abuse.

Yeah gotta be super careful there. Had a friend that lost his in the ocean a few years back. Def would want something with multiple holding pieces. I’m guessing the ocean band would hold up well. Alpine loop as well.

Was looking for a place to store my bands! Thank you Sir! Purchased and awaiting delivery 👍🏼

Thanks I just saw the order come in. I’ll be sure to get it out early next week.

Thanks for the video. I bought the knock off trail loop from Amazon . I have worn it (iWatch 6) for over a month. Very satisfied with it.

Should have read this one first 🤣 yeah. I wish they made larger sizes. Even the large apple one is a bit hard to get over my hand.

I have been using the knock off Trail Loop on iWatch 6 for just over a month. Good enough , no complaints.

My Nomad Pure Titanium Band for my Apple Watch Ultra arrived a few days ago, but it's wrapped and under the tree, so I haven't seen it yet. Santa is making me wait for Christmas, but I'm super stoked. I also got a couple Sport Bands from Nomad, including the one in orange and I just got the Rugged band, which is quickly becoming my favorite band for my Ultra watch.

Do you know where I can find a black alpine loop with brushed metal connectors that’s wide but still short for thinner wrists?

It’s have to be a 3rd party one and so far I haven’t sound one of those bands I really like. I did get a black one off temu for $0.60 during a special. It’s okay but not as nice as the Apple one. The little hook part doesn’t lay as flat.
