Hi all. Finally going to get my first Apple Watch - most likely the Ultra 2. I’m having a really hard time deciding on which band to get! I’ve been flip flopping between the alpine loop and ocean. And then most reviews I read seem to like the trail loop best!
For those of you who have been living with the Ultra the past year… what’s your thoughts?!? Thanks in advance!

I have the trail and alpine loop. Prefer the alpine loop by far.
trail loop for the most comfort. mine still look new and show no signs of wear.
Agree it’s the most comfortable, but yours still looks new after a year? It’s a fabric— my velcro has some fraying and the pull tab especially looks worn.
I LOVE the alpine that came with my Ultra but after less than a year of daily use, it’s showing wear and tear (it’s fraying in different areas). So I bought an ocean band which I really love too.
Spigen durapro flex, the one with a buckle. Thats my most comfortable strap for my ultra.
Ocean band
I have green alpine loop medium and large. Then i bought yellow and orange ocean. I stayed with the ocean.
I still use the sport loop from my old watch
The new Nike sport loops are very close to the trail loops btw. Bought one because I noticed to connectors were the same on both ends (not titanium of course). Looks like the same width too as my trail loop.
For casual wear, the braided solo loop in beige looks amazing and is very comfortable.
Only reason I got the blue ocean band for my AWU1 is that it was the only one in stock. Ended up loving it!
My collection of Nike Sports bands, including the original one that came with my Series 4 in 2018. That one is still going, but rarely used.
Ocean Band for me, I’ve 3 different colours for different occasions, they’re Uber comfortable and really suit the watch.
Ocean too. I wear it in the shower. Clean it easily (the rare times that I do 😆)
I run 30-50km a week and use the trail loop - it’s super comfy, snug and as-new a year later. My daily is actually the apple link bracelet. It’s expensive but pairs beautifully with the ultra’s matte finish. Divisive look though.
I have both the trail loop and the alpine loop. Will probably get the ocean band in the near future. I like them all and feel you can’t go wrong with any of them
Love my Nomad Ultra Orange Sport band.
I picked up the Ocean Band first but I’ve been using the Alpine loop the most. I have all three from the Ultra offerings. I’d say look wise Ocean is my favorite but comfort it’s the Alpine. Trail is my least favorite but it’s still one of my favorites from all the other bands I have
