How is your number one strap holding up. I see they are on sale and was going to purchase one and saw a review of someone who had bought a green one and it had fallen apart after 4 months.
@@ShivsStudio I have removed some links yes, problem is if I add just one link it will be a bit too loose if I remove one I won’t be able to close it it’s just a tiny bit tight but it’s liveable
Absolutely agree, only "design" downside I see is combination of majority bands with 22-24mm width look funny thin with Ultra or 44-46 with some protection case. I am personaly using Spigen Rugged armor with UAG Active watch strap with proper 30mm width.
I agree, although I think there are a lot of people that bought the Ultra just for its size rather than its rugged capabilities, so I don't think they'd mind going for a more sleek watch strap.
very delightful presentation, well done! I have my eyes on the link band, might get it. I also love that Apple made this jet black with its polished finish!
Spigen do Solid low-cost bands, too bad they do not use Black links/color on most of the solid ones and just titanium that looks crap on a black watch. :)
@ if I’m not mistaken spigen look alike bands you can order from Amazon for same price but x3 x4 of quantity. Just saying. Maybe I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to simple bands
I think it's important to balance quality and budget. While there are definitely watch straps available at lower prices than the ones I featured, I wanted to showcase 5 that are worth investing in for their quality, design, and durability.
@@ShivsStudio I have an original Link bracelet, so I would not take the replica. If then one of the two nylon bands. But unfortunately they have silver connectors. I only have a black Ultra 2.
05:50. "Made in Italy so you know it's going to be high quality"
06:29. Zooming in on the strap "Made in China"
🤣
The material 'Yatay' is made in Italy - that doesn't stop the rest of its parts being manufactured and assembled in China.
are there links to get to get any of these in the US
After using the Apple loop band, I won't go back. Love that it has no buckles and is extremely comfortable. Washable too.
Did you get it with your watch or did you purchase it separately?
@@ShivsStudio I bought the watch with the silicone band but hated it. Went back to the Apple Store and bought the loop.
I have the black unity braided solo loop. I wear it with my satin black ultra. super comfortable
The Newways band looks nice in black but I've been looking for the gold color. Their gold color looks terrible, like it's yellow.
Yeah most options on Amazon are yellow gold whereas Apple’s link bracelet has a slightly more bronze tint.
Does the colour of the NewWays stainlees steel match to the apple watch titanium slate??
It doesn't, the NewWays bracelet is black whereas slate is more of a dark grey.
New ways has a titanium option that matches Apple Watch perfectly… my Apple Watch Ultra 2 came in today.
@@mustbeice I believe Titanium is a lighter shade compared to Titanium slate.
no test on casetify ?
Casetify is unfortunately not a budget option.

Good so far, although I've only had it for two months.
I have The newways metal strap and it doesn’t exactly fit me, and there is nothing in between but I really like it
Have you removed the links to adjust it to size?
@@ShivsStudio I have removed some links yes, problem is if I add just one link it will be a bit too loose if I remove one I won’t be able to close it it’s just a tiny bit tight but it’s liveable
@@jakubkazak3539 I feel ya bro 😢
Amazing review
Thanks!
I can’t find anything similar to the sport and, any recommendations since the suggestion you gave is only available in the UK?
Where are you based?
US
What mm watch size are you wearing? Thanks, great video.
Thank you, it's the 45mm Series 8.
is it possible to shorten a cheap milanese watch band? they're all so long
Are you looking at one in particular?
@@ShivsStudio The latest Milanese titanium one with the side latches.
@@Youdude3 the official Apple option can be adjusted, but I don't know about cheaper alternatives.

Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful. The link band is a great choice!

I found a black metal Spigen band: amzn.to/3BJ9smO
i use the stainless steel silver strap from amazon,.....
Which one?
@@ShivsStudio dado brand
besides NewWays - those aren't budget at all.
They are just different price point but from good brands as well.
I'm not sure what you mean - NewWays is the second most expensive strap on that list.

Very useful information. I can’t justify paying the inflated prices Apple wants for their bands.
Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful.
Saw them all and they suck. Good buy. Also the rubber on the Apple Watch bands wear down slower and don’t get all shiny like some of the cheap ones
What don't you like about them?
Apple Bands are so expensive because it's high-end quality.
I don't think any of the bands I've reviewed could be considered poor quality and actually offer great value for money.
@@ShivsStudio That's a matter of opinion. ✌🏻😉
@@DerSchweiz3r absolutely! If you had to pick though, which of the five would you buy?
@@ShivsStudio I have an original Link bracelet, so I would not take the replica. If then one of the two nylon bands. But unfortunately they have silver connectors. I only have a black Ultra 2.
The Black Ultra 2 is a great choice. Review on that coming soon too!
very bad video doesn't focus on series 10 jet black
This video is on watch straps, not the Apple Watch itself.
