FKM is a high-performance fluoroelastomer used in demanding applications in the automotive and pharmaceutical industries. We chose FKM for its light weight and flexibility, allowing us to create an uncompromising modern design.
Unlike low-grade rubbers, FKM will not sustain damage from high temperatures, exposure to sunlight, or chemicals. FKM is also resistant to oils, allowing it to easily wipe clean after any adventure.
We carefully designed Rugged Strap's ribbed interior and micro-textured surface for all-day comfort. Contours on each end allow the strap to naturally curve around your wrist for a comfortable fit, and molded loops securely hold the end of the strap in place.
Each strap is fitted with our custom designed, metal injection molded (MIM) buckle and lugs. High tolerance fit and sharp details are created with this industry leading marine grade 316 stainless steel. Choose between either Silver or Black hardware to fit your Apple Watch.
I was looking to get replacement for my blue ocean band that I liked but found "not very comfortable" for daily wear. My quest got me to try both trail loop and alpine loop but I could not agree with clasping method on both plus the whole idea of needing a special washing care for those was not very appealing for me.
I just wanted a comfortable rubber band with classic strap. If it gets dirty, quick wash under a water in kitchen sink : done.
And this one delivered. Yes it's expensive but it's super comfortable and rubber used does not feels like higher quality variety (you really won't know it's there it's that soft and yet it does not leave you feeling like it will rip appart anytime soon - def not cheap rubber) and who are we kidding it looks awesome with black apple watch ultra 2.
Downsides? My wrist is 7 inch and you will note that I'm on 3rd hole. This means that smaller wrist will get into trouble here probably needing 1st hole with "overhang" at the end of the strap.
One more thing (but really minor) watch will disconnect from "2nd keeper" on occasion... not a big deal since band does have 2 of them...
All in all if you can afford it go for it. 0 regrets here. Since I got this one ocean band started collecting serious dust with 0 hope that it will ever go back to the wrist.
Easy 5 stars.

The feel of this band is excellent, has held up well in the four months I’ve owned it. I ordered the leather band as well and prior to the watch band purchase, I bought the leather case for my iPhone 16 pro max . All great products by nomad
