Rugged Band - 46mm/49mm | Black Hardware | Black

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.

bery good

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
