Titanium Milanese Loop for Apple Watch Ultra #
🎁 Received! 📅 2024 🎂 Birthday
The Leather Link band in Dark Cherry and California Poppy colors was the most convenient and elegant Apple Watch band until it was discontinued by the woke hatred towards leather.
The original stainless steel Milanese Loop band is durable, sleek, and attractive. Alas, the lone magnet seems to be not strong enough and slides off on my wrist.
The mesh of this new Titanium Milanese Loop looks and feels even better. It has a secure buckle and matches perfectly with my Ultra.
