After thinking about how crazy it would be to spend $350 or $450 for one of these Apple link bands I actually did it! I got the Space Black, the more expensive of the two and use it with my new series 8 stainless steel graphite. Yeah, it's expensive but the thing is great. Probably one of the best designed 'thing' or 'object' I have ever bought. The back story that nudged me to do it was this: I inherited my Dad's Rolex about 2 years ago after he passed away. I never wore it much as I'm not much of a 'luxury watch' guy. But he really loved that watch so I definitely am keeping it as a personal memento even though there's a large 2nd hand market for Rolexes. Since I wanted an Apple watch, getting this link band for it, kind of 'channels the Rolex thing' and I figured it would be an homage to my late father; he would have wanted me to get it. So, I'm very pleased with this purchase for a few different reasons.
I’ve been sporting this band since the very first Apple Watch. Definitely my favourite. Can’t wait to pair it with my Ultra when I pick it up next week! ❤
How comfortable is the band. I have a nomad link band. I feel its heavy, been wanting apple link band for a long time now. Just dont know if it’s worth the money. In terms of comfortability
I have used the Link Bracelet since my first stainless steel Apple watch (series 2). After I upgraded to the stainless steel series 4, I purchased another Link Bracelet due to numerous scratches in the band. I have since discovered that a green Scotch Bright pad will remove the scratches. I recently purchased the Ultra and have paired the Link Bracelet with it. I agree with your assessment; they complement one another. BTW, I removed three links too.
Thanks for the video, this was useful as I was thinking about the same comb. One comment on the video - it would be helpful if you did more slow panning shots so we could see the different angles of the watch on your wrist. You were cutting and moving very quick and it was hard to appreciate the aesthetics of the combo.
Hey, I just purchased a 42mm silver link bracelet for the Apple Watch Ultra. Customer service reached out to tell me it’s not compatible with the Ultra because it needs to be the 45mm band to fit the 49mm case. So is this true? What band do you have?
No, that is not true! I bought the 42mm Silver Link Bracelet and it works great with my Apple Watch Ultra! You should send them a link to this video haha. 😂 The Apple Watch Ultra is compatible with 42, 44, 45, and 49mm Apple Watch bands.
Looks stunning on the Ultra. I have this same bracelet which I got way back with the Series 2. I do look after it and it's still like new. Thanks also for confirming that this particular strap will fit the Ultra, as it mentions in the compatibility section for the link bracelet 42, 44, 45mm models. I have small wrists, what I would describe as women's sized wrists. I must admit earlier on with the Apple Watch Ultra when I seen them on videos I thought they looked ridiculous on small wrists, but as time went on, they have certainly grown on me, to the point where I am probably going to order the Apple Watch Ultra next time they are updated. I expect the size difference on how it looked and feels on my wrist, after a few days of wearing it, I would be used with it, and not really notice how large it looked on my wrist anymore.
Great video. You’ve sold me on the ultra. I already have the link band. It is an awesome band. I’ve had it for a few years and it still looks great. Thanks for making the video.
There’s a band on best buy for 40$ that in my local store it was half priced so 20$ and it’s stainless steel and has a butterfly closing also. The apple band isn’t worth 350+ at all not in any world is it worth that insane price tag. Edit: the band is call platinum stainless steel link band for Apple Watches.
Any high quality stainless steel band is going to be expensive. My Rolex stainless steel band was over $500. The concern with those $20 knock-offs is that they cannot last. One brand even said not to get it wet! I chose stainless steel Submariner Rolex 50+ years ago because it’s almost indestructible and I wore it 24hrs a day for over 40 years. The $350 for the Apple band isn’t out of line with a quality band.
This is by far my favorite Apple Watch band and I think it’s worth the price. I paid $250 for a space gray stainless steel band from Nomad to go with my Series 7 and it pinches my wrist at times and is more difficult to adjust. One recommendation I would make is to order a polishing kit to buff out scratches. I found one several years ago and it works great.
Really? You find that easier? I find install/removal is easier by putting in / taking out both connections to watch at the same time. Sure, undoing links is easy, but it's a bit more difficult (to reach in and hit the button) when the strap is on the watch.
@@__Gray__ Thanks for the reply. Hmmmm, Ok. Yeah, I think I was assuming that...that the clasp would be undone thus giving more slack to make it easier. I guess I still find my method easier as you have to make the two connections to the watch case anyway, and it's no big deal to do them in coordination with each other. But I'll try your way a few times to see. I will say that I'm real pleased with the design of this link bracelet and the ability to resize it. In my case, after I first got it, I needed to remove 3 links to get the correct fit. I experimented with taking off 4 links but that was too tight. The ease of resizing made it simple and fast to try two different sizes in order to get the best one.
@@jonRboy Do you find it a tight fit on the Ultra? Almost put me off using it. That was until I remembered the trick I use on stiff house keys. I rub the end of a pencil over the contact areas as the graphite works great as a lubricant. Still a little tight but slid in much easier. The Space Black looks great but I'm keeping alook out for a mint 2nd hand plain steel one. Although not a perfect match, I feel it suits the titanium better. Just wish Apple would make a Ti one, very unlikely though.
It actually cheapens the watch. I have the same band that I used for a previous version of the Apple Watch in shinny stainless steel. Looked good but fit either loose or too snug. With the ultra, which is thicker in appearance, it makes it look like a cheap Seiko watch. Return it and get a very good copy of this band on Amazon.
@@Warenotice I think it completely changes the look of the Ultra and turns it into a very serviceable iWatch rather than the Marketing Department ‘extreme’ hype.
Yep the cheap Amazon ones are actually getting crazy good. So good to the point I’m only buying solo loops from apple (for the perfect fit). People who’s never bought one will keep mocking them.
Something that ‘looks’ the same today isn’t likely going to look the same in one year. Stainless steel bands are expensive. I was surprised to see $40 and under bands claiming to be SS. It will be interesting to hear the long-term experience after wearing one all the time in the water and daily wear. My only other experience was a $500+ SS band for my Rolex Submariner. Certainly name might increase price a bit, but quality was there and I wore my watch 24hrs a day for over 40 years and only rarely removed it. A $40 ‘SS’ knock-off won’t provide anything like that service.

OMG you are SO RIGHT!
It is 46 mm ? It is work also with the new ultra 2 ?
Yes and yes! 44, 46, and 49 bands should all be compatible with the Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2.
This strap can perfectly fit on ultra?
It’s amazing. For the Apple Watch ultra which size of the bracelet I should buy? 42?
the biggest you can find
What size the the watch band?
I got the ultra too and I like this look
I tried buying but they don’t have a 49mm option. Only 38mm and 42mm
Had the stainless steel band since the apple watch 3 series, other than some minor scratches it still stands the test of time. Totally worth it.
I can’t get mine on

Great video. Btw how is the band to wear in warm weather?
I wish they made the same band in actual titanium. The color difference is a put off for me
This strap is from apple?
I want Apple to make the link bracelet in Titanium with the same finish as the ultra. Works for the other Apple titanium as well.
Apple Watch Ultra + Silver Link Bracelet looks amazing!
Agreed! They should come out with a Link Bracelet in titanium too!
I'm really thinking about getting this one for my AWU. Now after a while, do you think it's worth the money?
Get the Nomad titanium Apple Watch band v2. It's a much better upgrade than the link bracelet.
I have used the Link Bracelet since my first stainless steel Apple watch (series 2). After I upgraded to the stainless steel series 4, I purchased another Link Bracelet due to numerous scratches in the band. I have since discovered that a green Scotch Bright pad will remove the scratches. I recently purchased the Ultra and have paired the Link Bracelet with it. I agree with your assessment; they complement one another. BTW, I removed three links too.
I looked at this band but it does not show it's compatible with the 49mm Apple Ultra. Am I missing something?
seems like apple does not advertise it to be compatible with the 49mm but it is.
A little fact I used to think you had to remove link on each side to make it even but the way it closes it doesn’t matter it looks even all around
What is your wrist measure?
Thanks for the video, this was useful as I was thinking about the same comb. One comment on the video - it would be helpful if you did more slow panning shots so we could see the different angles of the watch on your wrist.

Thanks for the feedback!
I’m late but I love this set up I’m rocking with my ultra 2
i am thinking getting the hermes deployment band. the metal looks sick too. nice
Congrats on the new band! I’d want that one too but it sure is expensive!
I think you need to ad one more link to it but nice video. Beautiful band.
Just got the link and rocking the same setup great review

Of course! Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙏
It’s a cool gadget I have a g shock square and I love it and when I do any exercise that I want to track Garmin 735xt
Looks perfect. I have it since the the first s0 Apple watch and still feels like new.
Jesus, lay off the Redbull. Couldn’t even get a good look at the bracelet/watch combo because you can’t stay still for 3 seconds.

I really wanna try it-! Thanks for video.
Of course! It feels great you definitely should!
Definitely cool! It suits you Shane perfectly. You deserve it, the best combinaison purchase
I have the same metal link bracelet. It doesnt match the Ultra color wise. Much better alternatives on the market for less.
Great video. You’ve sold me on the ultra. I already have the link band. It is an awesome band. I’ve had it for a few years and it still looks great. Thanks for making the video.
coulda got it for 30 bucks on amazon
Love the band looks great!! Just don’t like the 350$ price tag lol
There’s off brands on Amazon for 20$

Nomad titanium band is cheaper and suits the Ultra better. It also has a sturdy magnetic open close mechanism. Just love it.
They fit as tight as the Apple ones
The Ultra is the perfect adventure tool.
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
The Nomad version is better and it has a DLC coating.

What polishing kit do you recommend?
Beautiful !
Press your shirt TH-cam suit boy!
Haha fair! They can get wrinkled for sure 🤣
Doesn’t look anything like a Rolex. It does look similar to a Porsche Design Ocean 2000.
Easier to install and remove the strap from the watch by undoing one of the links.
That’s a great idea! I’ve found it also helps to open the butterfly clasp!

You’re hilarious bro 😂
Haha thanks so much!
Nomads Titanium Band is way cheaper then apples stainless band
It's 50 bucks cheaper but ships in 5 months from Nomad.
I really want to avoid the mismatch. I will wait for a titanium band like that from Apple. If they ever decide to make one.

You can use a nice shirt though
Yeah, doesn’t the Apple Watch Ultra look fancy with nice clothes and a nice band?
@@Warenotice I think it completely changes the look of the Ultra and turns it into a very serviceable iWatch rather than the Marketing Department ‘extreme’ hype.
Nomad is nicer imo
Thanks for sharing your opinion!
Shane PLEASE buy me an Apple Watch Ultra for Christmas. Buy me the steel band too, I know you must be so rich!
Awesome production value.
I really appreciate you saying that!
Super duper!
Thank you very much!
Nice
I agree! Thanks for watching!
I really like the look but nothing justifies spending 350,- on a watch band for me personally.
video quality only stops at 360, are you kidding me ???
Don’t worry, this video was filmed in 4K! TH-cam is just still processing the higher resolution versions-check back soon and they should be available!
Iwatch ultra kill iwatch series 8 ,7 ,se……….
That band isn’t worth $350 at all you can get similar band for 40$ etc 🤦♂️

@@Anonymous-vh9tc exactly and not only the cheap ones good ones also but apple will sell the same one marked up 350% just cuz it’s apple.

@@Ragnar0321 the cheap amazon ones have literally nothing in common with the Apple one except that its a watch band. Complete rubbish
Way too overpriced for what it is.
