Looks good but I will say that I have been using Epic Watch Bands for years and their quality and customer service have been outstanding, and they have a lot of options for your needs and style.
I bought two Braided Loop bands from Amazon for my Apple Watch 5. Totally a good deal. I will never pay $100 outright for a Watch band. Thanks for your video review. I’m still thinking about buying the Ultra, but I keep thinking they’re gonna bring out a thinner model next year.

You're welcome! Yes totally agree many of the aftermarket bands are a great deal, while they are not the perfect quality of the ones from Apple, for less than 1/4 of the price they do the job great. And yes the Ultra is a very chunky watch. We also hope they release a new thinner (maybe Apple Watch Nano or Mini) that's thinner... maybe even round! Really like the design of the new Pixel Watch. If only Apple could make something similar...
Like the metal bands on this. Thank you

The braided Solo Loop and the Apple Link Bracelet (or at least a good replica) are the best on the Ultra. The red braided Solo Loop especially is stunning. It's my daily driver right now

@@Frank-xp3xd I feel like it looks perfect since it tapers from wide to narrow. The official one does anyway, idk about the knockoffs. Something like the sport loop definitely does look too narrow though

Hi Guys, could you do a review on the infinityloop titanium link bracelet for Apple Watch ultra? Like to see what ye think 👍🏻
Can you help me find a White ceramic ultra Apple band, I really need one… thank you so much
What is the width of the links on the metal band that looks like apples band?
It’s #6️⃣ for me! 😍 Also, it’s $20 now instead of $40. 😁

What do you mean the band itself not matching or the link for the band to Amazon . Look at the review for the band on Amazon a guy posted a picture of the band and the watch looks like a really good match if not better than all the others but I did just buy the last one (site said only one left) didn’t waste no time after I saw his picture and love the way it looks like a thicker band . The one for Best Buy review guy says his pins popped out . Couldn’t pull the trigger on that one.

The issue is that some of these Amazon vendors will change the product in the listing, instead of making a new listing. So one day it can be one band and the next day it can be a different one. We will keep an eye and work to keep the links in the description as up to date as possible!
#7 link is wrong.
# 6 band from best buy says it’s for 42mm watches…will that fit the Ultra?
Да,мне нравится.

The thing I don’t understand is how most of the metal bands don’t have a quick release mechanism for an easy resized fit.

None of the knock-off Alpine bands are available in different LENGTHS. This is going to be a big problem for anyone with small or large wrists and they won't fit like the Apple originals (available in 3 lengths)

The Bestbuy stainless steel is now $19.99, BUT ! “Stainless steel material Offers durability and comfort. Not recommended for wear in water.” I’ve worn stainless steel for over 50 years. Water does not affect real stainless steel. Guess one must read the little print…always.
I highly recommend to not use different metals in the titanium, this will cause serious oxidation over time! Look up dissimilar metals and oxidation!! Great video man sending good vibes from Winnipeg!!! 😎 💪

It's not even about affordability. It's just I'm not paying $100 for cheap fabric $30 bands
I honestly cant think of anybody blind enough to pay 350 dollars for the apple silver band🤣
these replicas are definitely ok. they're affordable and almost same quality.. apple is just charging too much because it's their brand..

"Almost same quality" c'mon fool, anyone who has compared them side by side knows many shortcuts were made. Stitching, material, etc. Most of the people buying these cheap bands are reporting the glue coming loose after just a few days. Go ahead and buy an $800 watch and put a $10 band on it idiot.
Ultra is the Ferrari of the Smart Watches. A Ferrari may also drive on very simple wheels ,but it deserves Original Ferrari Wheels. 😊

There are many aftermarket and customising companies which make wheels 100% better and expensive than original ferrari wheels. Moreover the apple bands for new ultra are not the example of super style and don't worth, for me they are ugly. I bought the watch but no one of watch bands I would like I just bought the watch and now I try to find the band I like
Все было бы круто, если бы не нужно заряжать так часто - мусор для понторезов. Надеюсь, кто-то из этих отсталых и убогих дизайнеров додумается сделать кнопки управления сверху-снизу. Отсутствие идей и инноваций полное.

The knock off are made from a very different, cheap material, that you have NO idea from where is sourced. for 20$ you can be almost sure that some poor kid somewhere stitched it for you.
