Apple Watch Ultra 2 Titanium Milanese Loop // Up-Close Details!

[@iamrishio]

The fact that you put it on the Series 10 and Natural Titanium Ultra has caused me to subscribe.

[@DesFit]

Thanks!

[@issacabraham1505]

Agreed.. I was literally here just for that!!

[@MrSamPhoenix]

That series 10 Black Titanium Apple Watch is gorgeous!

[@vitaliykuzhym1056]

Finally, I got this absolutely satisfying review of titanium milanese loop from someone!

[@DesFit]

👍

[@jobicek]

Would have been even better with weight comparison against other options - fabric Ultra bands, silicone Nike, etc. To get some perspective. Apple unfortunately doesn't specify weights for their bands.

[@mikepfeifer1753]

Thanks for showing in the natural color ultra!

[@DesFit]

[@eco999]

Fantastic review! I think you are the first and only one who compared this Titanium Milanese loop on Ultra watch vs S10. I ordered APS10 Slate Titanium and was torn apart between this Titanium Milanese loop and Slate Link Bracelet to go with. I'm glad I ended up ordering the Link Bracelet, even though it delayed my Apple Watch order by like few weeks lol. This Titanium Milanese loop really looks best on both Ultra watches in my opinion. Looks like Apple knew what they are doing dedicating it to Ultra. EDIT: That Alpine loop on S10 with Topaz watch face is fire!!

[@jobicek]

I imagine it's dedicated to the Ultra because of the bulkier mechanical closure. It doesn't have the elegance of the original. One thing I didn't like about the original steel loop was that it was catching on magnets all the time when taking it on/ off/ charging. And not just the magnetic tab but also MagSafe. The loop was constantly curled up around the charging puck or back of the watch. Peeling it off got old pretty quickly.

[@Djjolly037]

This is easily the best band Apple has ever released. Better than the alpine loop and trail loop, better than the link bracelet. It takes all the greatest things about the original Milanese loop and retains them but fixes all of its issues. I just put my order in for one

[@3eyedfishy]

Good timing on this video. Thanks. I'm also a 185 mm wrist but more like 180 mm when I'm a bit fitter. I changed my order to a medium band after seeing that on you.

[@makistudio1592]

Perfect timing, thx for that. Cheers

[@DesFit]

[@The.JZA.]

You make a good point that the Garmin Titanium watch bands are WAY more expensive than the Titanium Milanese Band. Kind of puts it in perspective a bit. I have the Natural Titanium Milanese loop on order for my Series 1. I'm holding out for the Ultra 3.

[@grllaspeak]

The green sport band this year stole my ❤ with the satin black Ultra 2. Thanks again

[@DesFit]

Sure thing!

[@kq1534]

Oh this is really sick. I’m debating whether to get this for the S10 Titanium Edit: actually now looking at it, it does look quite a bit bulky so I’ll have to see this in store myself

[@thomasvanderlelij1897]

Great to see you also put that strap on the regular Apple Watch Series 10. It convinced me to order the Series 10 and the new Ultra Titanium Milanese Loop! 👍👍👍

[@Repelle]

Great video! I appreciate how you go into detail and give your thoughts and impressions rather than just reading manufacturer blurb. I agree that the trail loop is the best for comfort; I wouldn't say this is uncomfortable but you definitely know it's on your wrist.

[@DesFit]

Thanks so much and also appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the bands!

[@iron_recluse]

Got it on launch and I love it. It’s so light it feels like plastic. Strangely mine did not come with the cardboard and pull tab seen in this video 🤔

[@Nick90De]

Currently I’m wearing ultra 2 for a year now I’m going to get this ultra 2 black titanium in a week! Can’t wait for it!

[@paolo7555]

the grey titanium for me looks amazing, best colour actually.

[@PrestoMoto02]

The black ESR glass screen protector for the ultra takes most of the hits. I highly recommend

Thank you! been waiting on this, cancel order multiple times being unsure.

[@DesFit]

Hope the video helped make a decision!

[@IJones]

@@DesFit yes it sure did! thank you!

[@vinchanvinchan]

Thanks for the solid review! Have you noticed that is scratches your laptop when using it? Is it less comfortable than the Sports Loop when pressing against a laptop?

[@DesFit]

Probably will depend on the size of your laptop but the edge touches slightly against my 16" MBP. A sport loop will be more comfortable overall, just due to being soft and flexible.

[@Clonee17]

I got the ultra 2 black, first Apple Watch. It's more amazing in person

[@Juraiprince]

Great video! One thing to mention concerning the Milanese Loop is that if you really like it, it would save you $100 if ordering with the watch as opposed to on its own, which you will pay the $200. Just something to consider if you are on the fence either way.

[@MarcoMaticTV]

Try the old Black Braided Loop. Looks amazing!

[@Das_Germaican]

I’m waiting for the ultra 2 to be delivered. Perhaps it was a bad financial decision on my part to trade in my natural ultra 2. The black looks sleek.

[@ladyb2944]

Thanks! I have been of the fence because I getting the natural titanium S10. Been wearing the ultra 1 since release and a bit heavy for me. Going to place my order

[@shamp00-nl]

I love the look of the titanium black band with the natural titanium ultra 2 😍

[@williamsloggy5144]

A buckle is needed since Titanium is non magnetic but it adds some thickness. I prefer the slimmer magnetic band for a dressier look on the series 10 but the buckle is stronger and works better for the ultra and sports or scuba.

[@kknn]

Could u please show us more about the black band + Natural Titanium Watch

[@saray3434]

Perfect timing thank you!!

[@DesFit]

Sure thing!

[@skytripa]

I really like the milanese bands just not the price. Ended up getting an off brand for $10 been great.

[@PeaceBeginsOnYourPlate]

Great video! Do you think this band would scratch the laptop or create scuff marks on the clasp of the band if it is rubbing against the laptop as you're working?

[@votdfak]

I definitely need to wear it and move it up because of my hand and wrist tattoo.

[@Dom-wr2fq]

great video! can you tell me please, witch exactly color do you have on the watchface from black ultra 2? thx!!!

[@user-et8jj4ox2m]

Can you do a run test with it. How does it feel compared to other bands.

[@Xeniosfitness]

How is the breathability?

[@chonsalchichon99]

It looks great ! , I would change the silver for the new black, however, it appears to get easily scratch, and those you can notice in this satin look, sadly.

[@paulsavala]

I’d be interested to hear how this actually feels on the wrist during workouts. It seems like it could be the best of both worlds were looks nice, but also is light and breathes well. Interested to hear though if that’s actually the case.

[@ianmcglinchey3250]

I take it then that this titanium band will be ok for series 10 jet black aluminium. I’m hoping so as it will look really cool and I cycle and go gym so looking for a good strong strap. Enjoy your vids by the way.

[@raymonddsouza8948]

Just be careful when putting the strap on and off every day as the titanium will scratch the glass and aluminium watch if allowed to bang against them 👍🏾

[@MikeGonzalez777]

Hey @DesFit are you still going with other sports watches for running versus the AWU2?

[@shinmyat1738]

would u rather chose Black Milanse on natural titanium or other wise ?

[@paulharris6299]

Still no Suunto Race S review? Launched in June and now updated with ZoneSense it looks like a very attractive buy.

[@mattstephenson4345]

Buyer’s remorse for me on the Milanese Loop on Ultra 2, at least for golf. After a couple rounds of golf, having it be either too tight (avoid having watch flop around) or too loose, I purchased the trail (Velcro) style. I kept the Milanese Loop for a more dressy option.

[@GabrielZecheru]

For daily use with sleep tracking and without changing the bands, would you recommend this band or the trail loop for comfort and durability? Thanks!

[@DesFit]

Trail loop for comfort, long-term durability I'd have to imagine goes to titanium ;) Although my original trail loop from the original Ultra is still going strong.

[@guillermomartin8248]

one of the reasons I hated my Milanese loop on my series 4 was that it didn't have a buckle and would gradually slip off, not ideal at all for working out. Does this one move around more on the Ultra while exercising? Considering getting the Milanese Ultra 2 Black as a one all be all.

[@raymonddsouza8948]

Does not move at all, it’s designed to not budge once fastened

[@Tigersfan081982]

Tempted to get the Milanese loop. But need help in sizing it. Wonder if the Apple Store will measure me. Crazy it’s on a 8-10 week back order

Apple employee told me if you get the wrong size, you can just swap it out free of cost. Of course, that depends on an apple store being near you, but I'm sure the online store could do the same for you.

[@andrewmerriman2963]

Classy watch. I have nothing against Apple at all. I own a M1 MacBook Air and love it. As far as today's smart watches go I am a big Garmin fan -- in particular the Venu 3. I consider it one of the best tech and health investments I've ever made. ... Love their battery life too.

[@gregparks1785]

Great review! I checked this band out in the Apple Store and liked it, but the earliest I might receive is mid-November. Blah

[@gjr1974]

Is there any confirmation from Apple that the finish on the band is in fact DLC coated? I haven't been able to find anything concerning that in Apple's descriptions online. I have Spyderco knives with DLC finish and they hold up very well, and I've also had black non-DLC metal bands which show wear pretty quickly.

[@AngeloFalloni]

You think 190mm athletic wrist would be good for a large size?

[@carolearrowsmith2461]

Omg gorgeous🐞

[@bmurgic]

Does it still catch your arm hair on daily use like the Milanese loops for the regular Apple Watch’s?

[@TechnoZen36]

nope

[@STN4790]

It does or at least for me. It’s not as bad as the steel Milanese loop though.

[@RicardoChial]

I know this question isn’t related to the video, but do you think the Apple Watch Series 10 has the same capabilities as the Ultra 2? Is the Series 10 just a cheaper version of the Ultra 2?

[@iron_recluse]

Judging by your profile photo… if you cycle a lot just get the Ultra 2. I cycle and the Series models get drained quickly from just smaller 1 hour workouts. If you plan to use cellular than forget it- the Series watch won’t even make it to the evening.

[@Waqas_Mirza_in_Uk]

[@cultofcedar]

Damn never really looked a the ultra up close but I’m 175 so this boys lookin a lil thicc. Glad I got it with the Milanese since only one could get the employee discount. The baby cobra buckle was a pleasant surprise, never seen one so tiny. Real cobra buckle cost $75 extra on my Mission Workshop Mars backpack so good deal lmao.

[@b1g_cookie978]

Anyone know how the Milanese loop does with long arm hair? Does it pull or have sharp edges on the band?

[@iron_recluse]

I have very long arm hair and it does not pinch or pull thankfully. It did snag on one particular blanket I own tho

[@devALLjapan]

I get pretty sweaty at my work and have felt a couple pinches. Not sure if that’s the sweat or my arm hairs being pulled or a little combo of both 😅

I had to return this band and watch within 5 days. I found the band, even with careful use, badly scratched the back of the watch. Have you had any problem like this yet?

[@pacoag99]

[@DesFit]

Yup! I’ll have a follow up in a few weeks for all the things in regards to durability

[@pacoag99]

@@DesFit thanks!

[@christophergardiner7372]

The black ultra looks so good but seeing how my regular ultra 2 has faired I’d stay away. If you are using it as intended with outdoor activities it’s bound to get dinged up pretty well, and how well the coating color will stay on is definitely questionable. Mine has a few decent dings in the titanium, which aren’t that noticeable due to the natural color. The sapphire glass screen though is amazing in these.

Does it catch any long sleeve clothing you are wearing? I had a 3rd party stainless steel one from before and it would constantly get my jumper and actually damaged my jumper!

[@DesFit]

I don't think it should. There's a slight possibility with the release mechanisms on the buckle but the rest of the loop is pretty smooth.

[@Desilv]

[@peepoo9992]

A thought that just occurred to me... If the stainless steel Milanese loop had been released later than the titanium Milanese loop, I think people would have been impressed by the improved convenience and fit. you all know, it doesn't take several steps to adjust(because it's magnetic!)

[@VoltX_1]

Defeats purpose. Nobody is going swimming or mtn climbing with a $800 watch secured by a magnetic band.

[@peepoo9992]

I forgot that point. i agree that security matters most to some people

[@fdfurlan]

I loved how light is the bracelet, but the loop on the top is something that ruin the symmetry of the entire set. Very comfortable, but aesthetically is not the perfect for small wrists.

[@soleo87]

Hi, have you noticed any marks or micro-scratches so far on the 10 titanium? Sorry for the slightly off-topic question, but I can't find an answer anywhere, and I have two watches on order - the Ultra 2 and the 10 Titanium Natural - and I need to cancel one of them. I prefer the 10 Titanium, but I'm worried about micro-scratches forming quickly on the shiny surface. In none of the KZbin videos does anyone mention anything about the scratch resistance of the 10 Titanium.

The watches just came out and even though I've been using them for a few weeks now, I can't speak yet to the durability as they still all look fine.

[@philipweiner1248]

can you tell me how its actually for sports? cause i have a series 7 titanium with a milanese band and i find the metal do have to less tension to my skin so the watch moves arround. maybe the new ultra melanaise band fixes that? also i am a person who constantly switches between holes in the band to loosen and tighten, when my arm gets a bit thicker and thinner during the day or sport.. not shure if the mechanism is fast enough to change.. what do you think?

[@bigmig4574]

I have it and have used several times exercising ands light and comfortable. The quick clasp to adjust is pretty easy to do as I change my fit regularly as well. I find it a little fiddly taking on and off wrist with clasp and hard a very hard time when changing strap as the fit is very tight.

[@savagedriver1967]

All of these bands have the same weakness... they are too thick under the wrist.. So when you set your hand on a table.. they rub... ultimately causing damage on your tabletop/laptop.

@@czaynej1051 Agreed. The series 10 premium is now titanium, yet they’re still using the old stainless mesh bracelet. I have that bracelet for the series 8 stainless. It looks amazing, but the old magnetic clasp doesn’t stay in place. You have to constantly reposition it. Can’t even sleep with it on. The watch will be loose or come off if I do sleep with it. It should be in titanium with the new clasp the Ultra has. Apple needs to understand the Ultra watch is a niche market. Most do not need - or want - an ultra watch. It’s gigantic.
