So you might wear it on one specific hook for workout usage (where snug/tighter is better to prevent bounce, as bounce introduces accuracy issues), and then a different hook for daily usage. Which in turn, impacts optical HR (heart rate) sensor accuracy. Each adjustment (different hook level) that you pick impacts how loose the watch is. This actually has two somewhat interesting effects. The way the Alpine Loop band works is that it doubles back on itself, and you latch the metal clasp into one of the little sewn loops. It pops, is clearly recognizable, and says ‘Yo, I’m orange traffic cone meets $800 watch!” It’s no wonder that Apple almost always defaults to this version in most of their Apple Watch Ultra marketing bits. It just looks so sharp, both in person and in photos. And if my opinion counts for anything, it’s absolutely my favorite design-wise as well. And inversely, other bands from Apple Watch 42mm, 44mm, and 45mm watches all work with the Apple Watch Ultra units.) The Alpine Loop:īased on all the feedback I’ve seen thus far, this is by far the fan favorite – at least visually. (Finally, semi-related, note that these new Ultra bands do work with existing Apple Watch 44mm & 45mm watches. My wife seen in some shots here has a wrist size of 14cm (or 5.5 inches) and is 5’2”/158cm tall. My wrist size is 17cm (or about 6.5 inches), and I’m 6’2”/188cm tall. I promise you, this will *ABSOLUTELY* make a difference between you liking the band and hating it. Note one super important detail – aside from also coming in different colors, they also come in different sizes. Which, sounds wrong when you write it out that way.

I also slept at least one night with all three types. And for the Trail Loop, for both workouts and daily usage. Meanwhile, for the Ocean band, I wore that for both day usage, as well as an openwater swim. You know, just to put it through its alpine paces. In some cases – such as the Alpine Loop, I also wore it during a 70KM/14hour hike. So in my case, I wore each band through a variety of workouts and daily usage, enough to get a good feel for things. I don’t have all the colors, but that doesn’t impact the wearability. Note that while there are three core band variants, they do come in a handful of colors each. And honestly, any of the three bands can be worn for any activity equally well. Each band has a different target market, though they overlap quite a bit. While it may seem like there are many models of the Apple Watch Ultra, in reality, there’s only one hardware model, with three types of bands. But to set up a group or individual FaceTime link, you have to go to the actual FaceTime app.Since first trying on the new Apple Watch Ultra, I’ve been inundated with questions about which band to choose. Normally, when I FaceTime other Apple users, I just go to their contact card or latest texts in my iMessage app, and tap on the FaceTime icon there. Apple officially released iOS 15 on Sept.
