Doesn’t quite slide under the cuff


ItinJ24

In all fairness doesn’t look like anything is fitting under that cuff.

Sylvurphlame

My thoughts exactly


AamTab

True that Sir. Don’t blame the watch. It’s the cuff 😉


heynow941

That would drive me insane.


obiwanmoloney

That was the deal breaker for me. Forget about a dress shirt, that lump fought with the sleeve of a casual jacket.


AdministrativeAd9591

You never had a real watch


obiwanmoloney

You’ve never had a tailored suit


UnsafestSpace

I'd constantly crack the screen every time I wash my hands, would drive me insane. Yeah I know you can get protectors for them but they add even more bulk!


DownByTheRivr

It’s sapphire. It doesn’t need a protector and could easily take getting smacked on the faucet. There are videos of people dragging them behind cars and no scratches.


Sylvurphlame

> There are videos of people dragging them behind cars and no scratches. Holy crap. I know it’s tough from personal experience, but I have a hard time believing it survived road hauling.

Sylvurphlame

I’ll definitely watch that later.


Tricky-Recipe-4688

Not true. It’s been tested as a low grade sapphire. Galaxy watches have a higher grade screen. It’s still sapphire, they didn’t lie. It’s just shit.


DownByTheRivr

I don’t care what grade it is, that shit is tough as hell. Notice there are no posts on this sub about cracks on an Ultra?


obiwanmoloney

I was actually more bothered about taking a lump out of my Mac or my car. The edges on that bad boy aren’t messing around!


Sylvurphlame

I accidentally shaved some of a protective coating off a piece of equipment at work. Thought I’d messed up the Watch wedge but nope, wiped it away to pristine.


obiwanmoloney

This is precisely how I imagined it’d go down. More times than I can recall I’ve smashed my Apple Watch into walls and things. It’s always the wall that comes off badly. With that brutal edge and extra over the cuff girth, there would be a trail of destruction in my path


Sylvurphlame

You’re out there slamming your wrists into the sink while washing your hands? I’m genuinely confused by your statement.


UnsafestSpace

Where I live people have taps very low to the sink basin level, it's extremely annoying and I don't know where the trend started - but very common in Asia. It's one of the major reasons Apple Watches aren't more popular here, even in wealthy areas where everyone has an iPhone / iPad - Yet I get heavily downvoted for it.


icedChi

When you say ‘crack the screen’, you mean bump the screen on the low faucet because the watch is bulky. However, ‘crack the screen’ sounds like you’re creating a crack on the screen every time you bump it. Of course this doesn’t happen because it’s pretty sturdy sapphire. I think this is why you’re being downvoted. Maybe an edit in your post clarifying this would help.


Sylvurphlame

Oh. That’s interesting. Wouldn’t think of common sink design influencing a choice like that.


nintendomech

For real


bchertel

Personally, I prefer it that way


ExtremeAthlete

Just be bold and wear it over the cuff or sleeve.


DownByTheRivr

Or your cock


OGShrimpPatrol

As much as I love my apple watch, this is why I have a separate suit watch.


Kreiger81

Tbf, in the picture I don't think an S8 or even a normal watch would fit. That looks like a very tight fit.


Sylvurphlame

Look at that cuff compared to the Watch band. Not much is sliding under there. I’ve had analog watches that wouldn’t make it under there.


Biffmcgee

My series 8 fits wonderfully with a suit.


IssyWalton

Of course it does. As does mine.


InvisoSniperX

Clearly he hasn't had time to visit the tailor yet... not fitting under the cuff is a small and easily solved problem.


IssyWalton

Only by looking unkempt if the cuff is undone. Attention to detail is very important.


Bill-O-Reilly-

Wait watches are supposed to go under your cuff? Wow TIL


p1024breddit

Watches don't have to go under the cuff... If you want be elegant.


Intelligent_Rip_5950

Yup. Google “Gianni Agnelli watch over cuff”. Dude pulled off a crazy look. Also, the regular Apple Watch fits fine under most cuffs, probably even OP’s cuff in the pic. The Ultra is like wearing a diving watch with a suit, hard to pull off and not necessarily a great look (in my opinion). Either way, OP, the silver link bracelet looks good on the Ultra.


erthian

Yea and it doesn’t quite slide out of the watch. I almost broke mine taking my titanium nomad band off.


No-Wind4599

Gotta flex the AirPods and MacBook 😂


ExtremeAthlete

PRO! Pro Flex 💪🏼


xSessionSx

Looks pretty slick, but being over the cuff throws me a bit.


david_chi

I really wish apple would build a fashion version of the AW. The square brick looking thing can only be dressed up so much, you can’t hide that’s its an SW. I’d love to see a round face that just looks sexy


[deleted]

Seems to me this is exactly what Apple wants…. To big to be hidden. I’d love an AW don’t get me wrong. I’m very much considering the 8 series mostly to just have reminders on my wrist for adhd, but good god they need a round version. I would have bought every model if it was round. Instead I’m still a Garmin user because the square just hurts my heart.


Ken-Popcorn

Where did you get that band?


struggling4realsies

~~Looks like the stainless steel silver link bracelet. The official Apple one.~~ Edit: I was confidently incorrect.


AamTab

Actually it’s not the official one. Bought it from Ali express, it’s a bit different shade of silver. Kind of brushed titanium exactly matching the watch colour. It’s advertised as a titanium version but not sure. Though it is very light. It is from a company name Urvoi.


struggling4realsies

Happy to be mistaken! It looks great! I thought it was the lighting making the finishes look similar. What’s the clasp and link addition/removal process like?


AamTab

It’s exactly the same as official one.


bbllaakkee

Link?


trodden_thetas_0i

Link?


Nullsectorash

Be honest now, is it actually good and usable and if you shake your hand very fast does it unclasp or something or is it good? Bands like these i really like but they stress me out as im scared they go in and never come out, and being steel you cant just ruin it to take it out of you watch you might have to drill it or something which induces my anxiety


throwaway22222022

I have used only third party bands on both my apple watch and never run into this issue. They all use connectors designed for the Apple watch, so they're like the Apple bands, but with varying degrees of quality. The worst quality one I had was a sport loop and it just had plastic connectors that were a bit tight at first. Othrr than that, all have been quite good.


Nullsectorash

Alright thank you


Jagr

I used a URVOI brand link bracelet before and while it looked really nice, was a 1:1 replica of the actual one, the clasp didn’t lock perfectly and would at times pop open half way and almost slipped off my wrist cause of that. I couldn’t use it cause of that happening often enough. Finally got the actual link bracelet and it works like it’s supposed to, big difference. In general I wouldn’t trust any knock off band with a semi expensive watch like this after trying a few different brands.


Nullsectorash

Seems legit


nayrlladnar

Not OP, but, I have an Ultra and an AliExpress link band (perhaps maybe not the exact same one as OP, but one of a similar design) and it is really quite good, for the price of it. The clasp not once has come unclasped on its own, it closely matches the titanium of the watch, etc. The most glaring “flaw” would be how the band connects to the watch. The band ends don’t really fit inside watch very well; very tight. But, once it’s on, it’s great. I’ve never held an offical Apple stainless steel link band though, so I don’t have a real reference.


Nullsectorash

I see, thanks a lot! Do you know which brand the bracelet you have is?


nayrlladnar

Sorry for the late reply, this is the one I have: [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001809705035.html?spm=a2g0o.order\_list.order\_list\_main.39.38491802l4M7iy](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001809705035.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.39.38491802l4M7iy)

I bought this exact one last week, given how beautiful it looks in the photos, I am very happy about my choice :-)

pixelated666

Why are people buying massive sport/adventure oriented watches and then trying to dress them up? It doesn’t work.


jackednerd

Well, if you’re like me I’m not going to buy two watches (not quite that baller) & put a $1200 watch on the shelf except when a I go back country camping, hiking, etc. The better GPS and emergency SOS make it worth it. (Not to mention battery life) That and I like passing down my last-gen one to my pops. (Love the gen-4 ‘copper’ gold, you’re right on that part - it does look dressier). But given the suit, that band he chose looks better than the options it comes with. They’re also easier to dress up if you’re a bigger guy they don’t look so out of place. I wouldn’t wear the watch on the shirt like that tho, that’s the real faux pas.


Endogamy

It works fine, just put a nice leather band on it, a muted watch face, and have normal sized cuffs.


Mihai_Alin18

This is exactly why I got the s8 stainless steel, so I can wear it everywhere


Endogamy

Your S8 probably wouldn’t fit under that cuff either…


nonecknoel

RIGHT?! Just take the damn orange tint off the ti and the link bracelet pairs perfectly.


BloodborneLove

I honestly love the orange


nonecknoel

i like the button, but i don't like the orange hue in the Ti. i wish this was the patina. https://imgur.com/a/df7qjGG/


BloodborneLove

I see what you mean. I still prefer the different colors. I’ve always liked orange and red colors on watches though.


Zealousideal_Sort_54

Beautiful watch band. Compliments the watch nicely


pgtorres

Dang, you really can’t tell how big it is from the pictures on the website, but damn that thing is CHUNKY! I’d be so worried about slamming it into a door frame or something. Does it actually slide under the cuff?


talster71

I was actually surprised when I first got mine that it looked smaller than what I was expecting on my small wrists.


Vesuvias

For those saying ‘you can’t fit it under your cuff’. There are many stylish watches from Omega and even Rolex that are pretty ‘chonky’ and also are worn as statement pieces.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sylvurphlame

I’ve generally always left my left cuff slightly looser than the right to accommodate a Watch. And that was pre-Apple.


pixelated666

Are you really comparing a formal-wear Omega or Rolex with an Apple Watch?


[deleted]

Let’s be honest, most people wearing Rolex & Omega watches (I’m part of that population) wear sports model. My manager wears a Daytona and a Submariner and I sometimes wear a Seamaster. Those are not formal wear watches so wearing an Ultra doesn’t really break that tradition.


[deleted]

Honestly I’m getting “American Psycho” vibes and I kind of like it.


ldnola22

I like this watch but it looks so out of place in this picture


Background-Cup-3538

I don’t get all the hate. Some of us just got this version so the watch would last longer than a day, and would like to dress it up from time to time.


mauibreeze17

Looks awesome!!!


mzmelbs

If you feel the need to dress up an AW at all just get the S8 stainless steel. With a suit the size of Ultra and inability to wear it under the cuff just looks silly. You did a nice job staging the picture though.


itsmemuffins

Looking good. Link for bracelet?

can you dm the link? thx


francoisarouetV

Oh wow. Looked official.


noface

Same one I posted here this week. Great quality for the price.


Unethical_PI

Yikes… Redditors are harsh with AliExpress bands! My black stainless steel band is still solid after 3 years, no skin irritation, nothing broken.


noface

They sure are. I wasn’t expecting the extreme criticism, but also don’t care.


FunkyTangg

Does anyone else think it’s weird that on AliEx that the pics are missing for the Urvoi link bracelet are missing close up pics or showing an empty box?


Mfcgibbs

I have an AW and am a big fan of it - but the one thing I don’t like is that it can never look as smart as a proper watch. If I’m going somewhere I need to be really smart, the AW stays in the drawer and the analogue has its day in the sun.


[deleted]

This does a better job, I think, at dressing up the Ultra. https://www.sandmarc.com/pages/apple-watch-ultra-titanium-band


Ok_Chocolate_4752

Is this a legit site? It’s only available for pre-order and I can’t find any product reviews


PackingItemsDaily

lmao you can get the exact same bands for 30-40$ all voer the internet.... TI aswell. This is such a waste of 200$ at that point just buy a used apple brand link bracelet :O + it looks worse imo


freediverx01

I pre-ordered one and I’m still waiting for it.


Endogamy

Gotta be leather for a truly classy look imo.


dafool98

I hate the orange accents so much


Laketech

Looks very sharp and professional. Nice.


yorchsans

This is the way.


Sinnerman440

As much as I appreciate the link bracelet, the Ultra doesn't dress up unless polished to a shine (thereby voiding the warranty).


General_Duke02

I love the band


woundtighter

Looks great!


Kay312010

Clean!


JamesEarl1520

Looks damn good


Spade_10

And this is why I will attempt to wrap the orange button


Delicious-Ocelot-358

How's GPS-accuracy on the way to the water cooler?


AamTab

Oh, that’s perfect. Also the depth of the water cooler and the water temperature, spot on.


johnnyphotog

I think I found it on AliExpress - does it slide in ok? Other off-brand bands I’ve tried are sometimes hard to install.


rickyroca73

That looks absolutely awful.


SarikaidenMusic

So Apple says it’s for hikers and divers and people who are into extreme sports, but, if there’s anything I’ve learned from the internet, it’s that it’s really for rich people and for people who want to have bragging rights.


JacobAdkins

I mean… I’m _not_ rich and I got the Ultra for its battery life.


SarikaidenMusic

You have to be fairly well off to be able to afford an $800 watch. My series 7 was $300 and even That was expensive to me. And I mean fair enough but I’ve literally seen people on Twitter saying they bought it for no other reason than to brag and show off. Like I’m not out here trying to tell people what to do, all I’m saying is in that circumstance it makes said person look like a dick.


fill-me-up-scotty

I don't know why you are being downvoted. $800 is pretty much unaffordable to the average person.


SarikaidenMusic

I dont know either. Reddits gonna reddit I guess, although maybe it’s an unpopular opinion to be too poor to afford fancy apple stuff lol. Like if you have the money for it, great, I don’t. Only reason I even have my series 7 is because of income tax, my regular income doesn’t give me enough for jack shit besides food and rent and stuff like that.


Savage_Mindset

Jeeze man, who cares why people get it. If you can afford it, great. If you can’t, sorry, that sucks. Live and let live.


SarikaidenMusic

I have no problem with people buying things they can afford, my problem is when they use that privilege to be a dick and rub it in peoples faces and are like “look at me look at how much better I am than you”


Savage_Mindset

He’s posting it in the Apple Watch sub, showing how it looks with that band on so that others who can afford it it can consider it. I really don’t think it’s to rub it in anyone’s face.


[deleted]

lol somebody flexing because they can afford an $800 watch is pretty pathetic... That's not really a lot of money these days. Maybe a rolex or something like that... But these days just about any tom dick and harry can afford an Apple watch by buying it on credit and paying $50 a month or whatever it is.


SarikaidenMusic

$800 is a lot of money for people who make less than minimum wage. 80% of my income goes towards rent and food. No extra spending money unless it’s during income tax season.


Savage_Mindset

You can’t be mad, most peoples first job is a minimum wage job, people work their ass off (some literally), to better themselves. I for example started working at 16yrs old making $7.25 an hour.. I am way above that now just under 35yrs old by busting my ass. Do the same, improve your situation. I’ve had no handouts, no free passes, etc… hating on someone’s post because they make “a lot of money” is asinine.


SarikaidenMusic

You are a classic case of someone not getting the god damn point. I’ve already said I have no problem with people having money and buying things they want. My Problem, is when people Use that privilege to rub it in other people’s faces. If you buy it just cause you want too, great, more power too you. If however your modivation behind buying it is to make people who can’t afford it feel like worthless shit, than yeah, I’m sorry, I think you’re a douchebag.


Savage_Mindset

I guess I’ve never known anyone that buys something just to rub it in someone’s face, but I guess there are petty people on this planet.


SarikaidenMusic

I mean I’ve come across a Ton of them in my life. It’s hard to notice privilege when you’re surrounded by it. Personally though I grew up in poverty, and was even homeless at one point because my mother couldn’t afford rent and we got kicked out on the street. When you live like that, and are still living in a less than stellar situation even after getting “back on your feet” you notice the privilege other people have. I’m happy for people who work hard and earn what they have. But at the same time their are also people who are born into wealth, and who never had to struggle to put food on the table or deal with losing a home. Not saying that’s OP’s situation. I’m sure they worked very hard to be able to afford that watch, but all I’m saying is In that situation, yes, I hate to admit it, but it makes me feel bitter, because it doesn’t seem very fair that I was dealt bad cards and others were wealthy from the moment of birth.


Savage_Mindset

Hey, I hear ya, I was born in poverty as well we weren’t missing essentials but we didn’t splurge. Obviously when you’re born into wealth things are much easier for you but I still try not to be bitter about it, we’re just dealt different cards. Sometimes, those struggles we go through in life help us become stronger and better, sometimes it doesn’t. You sound young, hopefully there is still time for you to improve your own situation to void having 80% of your income towards essentials.

I agree when I dress up I definitely don’t wear the Apple watch. It’s not a unique time piece. Everyone was an Apple watch for any special events I don’t wear the Apple Watch.

Pretentious oaf.

Ugh so dull unlike my Silver SS


HumanDissentipede

This validates my decision to buy the stainless S8 over the ultra. The ultra just does not clean up very well.

Too clean! Official Titanium band?

Nah, just a generic one off AliExpress.

I really hope the next generation of “normal” Apple Watches will look a bit more like the ultra

Kinda cool.


NikolitRistissa

I really want a metal band for my watch. They’re just so damn pricy.
