This watch band is substantial and has great proportions (26mm width) that match the size of the Watch Ultra. Like most metal bands, it dresses up the watch for more formal occasions although the width could be a bit much for smaller folks or those with very thin wrists. The matte titanium color/finish as well as the fitment of the end links is perfect and looks like something you would get straight from Apple. I'm a stickler for this and was really impressed with how good they fit/match as I've tried several other bracelets where they are cut strangely, fit loose, have a different finish than the rest of the band (sometimes brushed, sometime chrome on the edge), and other issues. I was a bit surprised that the side and center plates are 1 piece instead of what I normally encounter with this style of band which is 2. Nonetheless, there is enough articulation/play in the band to lay and fit comfortably around the contours of the wrist. I would just want potential customers to aware that the band does not taper and because of the width, it strikes me as more masculine (and a little less dressy). The only other caveat is that it does not come with a 1/2 link and since there is no adjustment in the latch, it could be possible to find yourself in between sizes. However, I do find that because of the width it slides less than a narrower band so even if a bit oversized it seems to stay in place well. The only other unknown is the quality of the DLC finish. I have several other titanium watches and they tend to show rubs/scratches pretty easily so if this has a good DLC finish, it should be much more wear resistant. Initial impressions have me feeling optimistic but I've only had it a short time so that will be the final determinant. If the finish really is as scratch resistant as DLC is known for then the value it offers for the price will be great. You may feel like you are getting a deal with a 30 or 40 dollar Ti band but if it's scratched up and looks like trash after a week or 2 then that's no deal. Overall, although more expensive than some of the competition, I would say it offers great value if the finish holds up. Thumbs up all around and I only wish they shipped with a 1/2 link to ensure fit for everyone.
