The Apple Watch Ultra is the iPhone maker's rugged edition of its popular smartwatch. While this durable wearable offers a wide variety of band types and colors, it only features a single chassis finish. So customizing its exterior look pretty much revolves around the strap's color and material. Below you will find the official Apple Watch Ultra band styles offered by Apple.

The Apple Watch Ultra comes in only one casing material and color

Titanium is the only casing option available for the Apple Watch Ultra — unlike the Apple Series 8, which offers aluminum and stainless steel casings. Titanium is more durable and rugged than aluminum and stainless steel, so there being no other casing options makes sense. You also don't get any other styling or color on this casing. The casing that Apple sells has orange highlights on the digital crown and the side button, and that's the only choice you get — you can't opt for any other highlight either.

Official band styles and band colors for the Apple Watch Ultra

Apple has introduced three brand-new bands — Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Ocean Band — for the Apple Watch Ultra. Each band is designed for different outdoor activities and adventures. Note that you can buy the bands separately as well.

Trail Loop

The Trail Loop band is designed specifically for endurance athletes and runners. Made with a soft, double-layer nylon weave, it's the thinnest Apple Watch band to date. It has a convenient pull tab that lets you make quick and easy adjustments for optimal fit. The Trail Loop band is available in three colorways: Blue/Gray, Yellow/Beige, and Black/Gray.

Ocean Band

Designed for high-speed water sports and recreational diving, the Ocean Band features a flexible fluoroelastomer with a tubular geometry that stretches to provide a perfect fit. The titanium buckle and spring-loaded loop keep the strap securely in place during extreme water sports. Additionally, the watch band has an optional tail that allows it to be worn over a wetsuit.

The Apple Watch Ultra is hands down the best Apple Watch money can buy. It's good to see Apple giving multiple band options for its latest rugged smartwatch. Though, it is important to note that bands designed for the Apple Watch Series and SE models will not fit the Apple Watch Ultra due to the size difference. Looking to buy the cheaper Apple Watch?
