Apple’s Official Ultra 2 Bands
Apple has introduced a set of premium bands that complement the ruggedness and functionality of the Ultra 2
Alpine Loop
This band is crafted from two layers of woven textile without stitching, making it durable and breathable. It is secured with a corrosion-resistant titanium G-hook and is ideal for mountain hikes and outdoor adventures.
Trail Loop
Apple’s lightest and most flexible band, made with a soft nylon weave. Its fast hook-and-loop closure makes it ideal for runners, cyclists, and fitness enthusiasts who want all-day comfort with a snug fit.
Ocean Band
Made from high-performance elastomer and shaped with tubular geometry, this band is designed to stretch and flex for water activities. It’s perfect for swimming, surfing, or even scuba diving with added security.
Titanium Milanese Loop
For those seeking a more polished, elegant look, this band features finely woven titanium mesh with a magnetic closure. It’s designed to shift the Ultra 2 from sporty to formal without missing a beat.
Compatibility with Other Bands
Despite its unique size, the Ultra 2 is compatible with most bands designed for 44mm and 45mm Apple Watch models
Sport Bands
These fluoroelastomer bands are flexible, sweat-resistant, and great for workouts or casual daily wear.
Leather Bands
Ideal for professional or dressy occasions, leather bands bring a timeless and elegant aesthetic to the Ultra 2.
Stainless Steel Bands
For a premium and substantial look, stainless steel link or mesh bands work well with the Ultra’s rugged yet refined design.
Braided Solo Loops and Solo Loops
These bands offer a clean, one-piece design that stretches for a customized fit. They’re stylish, lightweight, and comfortable for all-day use.
When choosing a third-party or standard Apple Watch band, make sure it’s labeled for 44mm or 45mm models to ensure proper fit and connection.
