Apple Watch Ultra Titanium Milanese Loop - why you might want to go for a larger size.

Normally I just follow Apple’s sizing before picking a watch band, but this time I was able to try out the larger size, and I liked it better. My wrists are 160mm, and I chose the large size band which is supposed to be for wrists measuring 180-210mm. In theory the medium band is ideal with a range of 155-185mm, but I’ll tell you why I went with large.

The larger size gives you a more classic look similar to the classic buckle because the clasp swings further into your view. You also get a double-layered mesh on about 80% of the band instead of 50% of the band, making the feel more substantial and symmetrical.

Medium vs Large Titanium Milanese - loop side down

You can see the clasp peaking out on the large band since it’s pushed back. Gives it a more “Ultra” look. (My wrist size - 160mm).

The large band really does look like the classic buckle and much beefier than the asymmetric medium size.

The clasp is almost hidden from view in the large configuration, making your wrist more comfortable when typing.

If you prefer the loop on top, aka, the “Elvis look,” the large band once again looks beefier with the clasp visible on the bottom.

The clasp positioning doesn’t change a whole lot on the underside.

The best way to find out what size to get is to go in-store and try it out for yourself. They usually have medium and large bands on display, but if you are deciding between small and medium, ask to try on a small and they will get one for you. If no one is there to help you or you found the size you like, confirm the size by looking inside the band connector.
