Geektastic:

 

I collected mine today as well.

 

It really is something. A lot of the YT reviews I have seen have shown it on people with wrists that must be like twigs in comparison to mine, because it looks just fine when I am wearing it and the reviewers often looked like they had dinner plates strapped to their wrists!

 

 

Do you mind if I ask what your wrist measurement is? Mine is 160mm and to be honest it feels like I couldn't go much bigger than my existing 44mm series 6, but I'd be interested in your thoughts as someone who's actually worn an Ultra.

The circumference of my wrist is 21cm.

 

I also have (but probably won't keep) a Series 6 44.

 

The Ultra is bigger (especially in the thickness direction) and somewhat less svelte because it has more angular edges and corners. However, due to the Ti body it is still pretty light.

 

Mine has the Ocean band on it which I am ambivalent about - it would be no use for diving as it simply isn't long enough to wear over a wetsuit of any thickness for me. I only have three unused holes on the buckle as it is.

 

IMO the Ultra cries out for a Titanium bracelet with proper wetsuit extensions like a Rolex Oyster.
