This is a list of some of the best Apple Watch Ultra 4 bands you can buy on Amazon, from official Apple bands to rubber, fabric and titanium options from other brands. Rubber sport bands suit workouts and water, lightweight fabric loops suit all-day wear, and titanium bracelets give the watch a dressier look.
If you already own a band for a 44mm, 45mm or 46mm Apple Watch, it fits the Apple Watch Ultra 4, but Apple says those sizes are only meant for casual everyday wear. Apple makes its 49mm Alpine Loop and Trail Loop for rugged activities like hiking and running, and every band below is sold for that same 49mm case.

Apple Sells Two Woven Loops for Apple Watch Ultra 4, One Sized and One Adjustable
Apple Watch Alpine Loop
The Apple Watch Alpine Loop is woven from two textile layers into one continuous piece with no stitching, and it closes with a corrosion-resistant titanium G-hook. It comes in three sizes. Small fits 130 to 160mm wrists, Medium fits 145 to 190mm and Large fits 165 to 210mm, so you pick a size rather than adjusting freely as you can with the Apple Watch Trail Loop below.
The Dark Olive Medium with a Black Titanium finish is $99 on Amazon right now, and Light Blue and Terra Cotta are sold with natural or black hardware. Apple says the band is carbon neutral, and it costs well above the Spigen Athlex Air, which closes with hook-and-loop instead of a hook.
Apple Watch Trail Loop
The Apple Watch Trail Loop is an ultrathin, lightweight nylon weave that stretches and adjusts to any point along the strap with a pull tab. It is the thinner of Apple’s two Ultra loops, and its edges now carry reflective yarn.
The S/M size fits 130 to 180mm wrists and the M/L size fits 145 to 220mm, a larger top size than any Alpine Loop. The Blue and Bright Blue S/M with natural titanium costs $99 on Amazon right now, and Dark Umber, Green and Neon, and Black and Charcoal are also sold. Both Apple loops also fit 44mm, 45mm and 46mm cases.
NOMAD Makes a Titanium Bracelet and Two Rubber Bands for Apple Watch Ultra 4
NOMAD Stratos Titanium Band
The NOMAD Stratos Titanium Band joins Grade 4 titanium links with FKM rubber between them, which no other metal band in this roundup does. It closes with an N52 magnetic clasp and weighs 52 grams.
The band fits wrists from 130 to 200mm and comes in Black, Ultra Orange, Volt and Forest Green with black or natural titanium hardware. The Ultra Orange with black hardware costs $199 on Amazon right now, well above the Spigen Modern Fit Titanium below. NOMAD says the design is water resistant, and the magnetic clasp can affect Compass readings.
NOMAD Rocky Point Sport Band
The NOMAD Rocky Point Sport Band is the more rugged of NOMAD’s two rubber bands, and it is made from FKM rubber with titanium hardware. The strap has ventilation grooves, and the loops that hold the extra band are built from two materials. NOMAD calls it completely waterproof, and it fits both 46mm and 49mm cases.
The Magma color with black hardware costs $62 on Amazon right now, and Forest, Dark Storm Gray and Atlantic Blue are also sold. The NOMAD Sport Band below is the slimmer option from the same brand and uses an aluminum pin.
NOMAD Sport Band
The NOMAD Sport Band is a slimmer FKM rubber band with a pin-and-tuck closure, the same style as Apple’s own Sport Band. An aluminum pin latches through the band, the tail tucks against your wrist, and NOMAD says the band is 100% waterproof. It fits every Apple Watch Ultra from the first to the fourth.
The Orange color costs $48 on Amazon right now, and Black, Lunar Gray, Ash Green and Stone are also sold. The NOMAD Sport Band sits below the NOMAD Rocky Point Sport Band on price. The band has full-length adjustment holes, so check the size against your wrist.
Spigen Adds a Titanium Bracelet and a Hook-and-Loop Fabric Band
Spigen Modern Fit Titanium
The Spigen Modern Fit Titanium is a titanium link bracelet that attaches with button connectors and closes with a metal clasp. It costs far less than the NOMAD Stratos Titanium Band above, and its links are plain metal with no rubber between them.
The band fits wrists from 140 to 240mm and is made for 49mm Apple Watch Ultra cases, as well as 42mm to 46mm models. The Natural Titanium finish costs $51.99 on Amazon right now, and the Black Titanium finish is also sold.
Spigen Athlex Air
The Spigen Athlex Air is the budget fabric band here, a woven nylon strap with a one-pull hook-and-loop fastener that adjusts to any point, like the Apple Watch Trail Loop. Spigen markets it for runs, cycling sessions and gym training.
The Active Black Gray color costs $24.99 on Amazon right now, and Active Black, Active Navy Blue and Active Green are also sold. Spigen makes it for cases from 42mm to 49mm, and it fits wrists from 155 to 245mm, which covers larger wrists than either Apple loop.
ESR Closes Its Rubber Band With a Fold-Over Clasp
ESR Equinox Band
The ESR Equinox Band is the rubber band here that closes with a one-click fold-over deployment clasp, where the NOMAD Sport Band uses a pin-and-tuck closure. The clasp keeps your fit after the first sizing. ESR makes the strap from HNBR rubber with textured grooves, and the buckle is 316L stainless steel.
The Navy Blue color costs $31.99 on Amazon right now, and Blue-Black, Deep Burgundy and Starlight are also sold. ESR makes it for 49mm Apple Watch Ultra cases and for 44mm to 46mm Apple Watch models, and its price sits below both NOMAD rubber bands.
Closure Style and Material Decide Which Apple Watch Ultra 4 Band to Buy
If you want a band you can adjust to any point, the Apple Watch Trail Loop and Spigen Athlex Air do it with a pull tab and a hook-and-loop strap, while the Apple Watch Alpine Loop locks into a fixed size. You can compare more Spigen bands for the Apple Watch Ultra 4 in our Spigen Apple Watch Ultra 4 bands roundup.
If you want rubber for workouts, you can choose from the NOMAD Rocky Point Sport Band, NOMAD Sport Band and ESR Equinox Band. If you want metal, the NOMAD Stratos Titanium Band and Spigen Modern Fit Titanium are your two choices.
Apple added Dark Umber to the Apple Watch Trail Loop and Dark Olive to the Apple Watch Alpine Loop this year. You can see every new shade in our Apple Watch Ultra 4 band colors post.
My Pick Is the Apple Watch Trail Loop, With the Spigen Athlex Air for Less
I would start with the Apple Watch Trail Loop, because its pull tab lets you adjust the fit to any point along the strap. If you want the same adjustability for less, the Spigen Athlex Air does it with a hook-and-loop strap.
Questions About Apple Watch Ultra 4 Bands
Can I use my old Apple Watch bands on the Apple Watch Ultra 4?
Bands for 44mm, 45mm and 46mm cases fit the Apple Watch Ultra 4, but Apple says those sizes should only be worn for casual, everyday use. Bands for 42mm and smaller cases do not fit, including the ones made for the 42mm Apple Watch Series 12. If you also own an Apple Watch Series 12, you can find 12 bands for it in our Apple Watch Series 12 bands roundup.
What wrist sizes do the Apple Watch Alpine Loop and Trail Loop fit?
The Alpine Loop comes in Small for 130 to 160mm wrists, Medium for 145 to 190mm and Large for 165 to 210mm. The Trail Loop comes in S/M for 130 to 180mm and M/L for 145 to 220mm.
Do magnetic bands affect the Apple Watch Compass?
Apple has flagged that magnetic Apple Watch bands can throw off Compass readings, and the NOMAD Stratos Titanium Band closes with an N52 magnetic clasp. Taking the band off or stepping away from other magnetic objects gives an accurate reading.
Do these bands fit the 49mm Apple Watch Ultra 4?
All eight bands are made for the 49mm Apple Watch Ultra case, and you should still check the size selector on each Amazon page before you buy. The Apple Watch Alpine Loop and Apple Watch Trail Loop also fit 44mm, 45mm and 46mm cases, and the NOMAD Rocky Point Sport Band fits both 46mm and 49mm cases.
