I need the XL band 195-245mm - do not see an XL band option for the new Ultra watch?

I need the XL band 195-245mm - do not see an option for the new Ultra watch. Is this available at all? I assume the normal sport band will not fit the Ultra, that appears to be "the only" band that is available in XL... why?


Would think with a rugged sports watch you would consider larger wrist sizes?

I am so disappointed with Apple right now on this Ocean band. My wrist is about 190mm so the default ocean band BARELY fits. I have to use the last 1 or 2 notches and for a $100 band, having to buy an "extension" for another $50 is absolutely absurd!


Even with that, it's too **** long. We REALLY need an ocean band in it's current size AND an option for the band in L/XL that just adds 20-30mm to the notched side of the band.


$150 for this band, to throw half of it away just isn't right APPLE!


I'm impatiently waiting for a knock-off Ocean Band that is sized for 220mm like the other bands. Sad a knock-off has to fix this issue.

Hi CityGuy7,


With Ocean Band 49mm, or extra length, an extension band is sold separately, enabling you to wear the Ocean Band even over your thickest wetsuit.


The Trail Loop is sold in M/L for 145–220mm wrists.


The Alpine Loop is sold in L for 165–210mm wrists.

Thanks.
