Amazing original Apple Watch band! The quality is top-notch — soft, durable, and super comfortable to wear all day long. Fits perfectly, doesn’t slip, and feels great on the wrist. The color stays vibrant, and the clasp feels strong and secure. Been using it for a couple of weeks and it still looks brand new. Totally worth the price — makes my Apple Watch look and feel premium again!

I wasn't a fan of the original silicone bands, but when this one came out, I was sold immediately! It has street cred because it looks youthful, rugged, and flamboyant, and it’s clearly very durable. I've had mine since around January 2025, and its appearance is exactly the same as it was on day one, even after six months. So, to anyone considering it, just pay the premium $99; I guarantee you will thank me later!

Perfect fit for my Apple Watch Ultra gen 3. Very easy to adjust for a perfect fit. Feels very durable and is perfect if you live an active lifestyle that includes being in the water.

I got the 49mm Ocean Band after my friend got the new Ultra (specifically v3), which I believe is the intended model for the 49 size. After his rec + some internet scouring, I ended up pairing it with my Series 10 for an all-black approach.
Honestly, so much more secure than other bands I've tried, including some of the Nike Running ones. Would definitely opt to using this one, even for training purposes.

Bought to replace initial band that came with my ultra watch a couple years ago. Band is very expensive in typical Apple fashion for just being a piece of plastic but the quality is superb. Band lasts a pretty long time with heavy use and never really fades per se but will lose its finish over time. Isn’t too heavy and has a nice rigidity to it that the other Apple bands do not have. Band is very good for people that like to work out/ sports and be able to clean off quickly with soap and water.

Can’t go wrong with the Ocean Dive Bands when used on Apple Watch Ultra. They are the easiest to use, solid & secure feeling band from Apple. I lucked out and managed to grab every color Dive band before Apple stopped making/selling some of the V1 Apple Watch Ultra Ocean Dive bands.

Started with a loop material band & moved to this one. Soft & flexible, but sturdy. Looks great too. Got a great deal on an open box.

I have a ton of Apple Watch bands. This is my favorite. It’s super comfortable, and doesn’t slide around, which is my number one gripe with other bands. Looks good too.

Absolutely in love with this Ocean Band in black!
I bought it for my Apple Watch Ultra 2 and let me tell you—it’s a match made in heaven. The titanium finish is stunning and adds that luxurious feel to my watch, making it look even more powerful. It’s super comfortable and feels really premium on the wrist. The black color matches perfectly with my black watch, giving it an elegant and sporty vibe at the same time. I couldn’t be happier! If you’re thinking about getting this band, just do it—you won’t regret it!

This is my go to band. I like the way it feels on the wrist. I do wish it was a bit longer. I feel spending extra money for the longer band isn’t something I want to do.

Originally wanted my Ultra 2 with this color but my store was out of stock. Was considering a third party but Apple really has quality items, So went ahead and got this color and couldn't be happier. Great choice and matches Ultra 2 Orange Decal

The band is very flexible and durable. I work in a porcelain factory and have been wearing it daily for 2 months with no wear or damage. It can stretch and tighten too much. Have to be careful to keep it loose. It is comfortable as long as it’s loose. Overall it’s a nice watch band, higher price point than most though.

The Apple Watch Ocean Band is the Ultra's specialized, high-performance option, purpose-built for extreme water sports and rugged durability. While fantastic for its intended use, it has definite trade-offs for everyday wear.
