Well. They came up with three new styles, which is cool. But, is it just me, or is every new batch of bands less interesting than the previous batch? It seems there are fewer colors available every time and the desirable new colors are mostly just a shade off from the previously available colors. Or the new colors are not desirable at all. Is nobody at Apple enthusiastic about designing watch bands?

I don't like the look of the leather link in any color. But now it appears golden brown has gone away and the umber is... blah. Why can't they go back to the leather loop. I missed out on getting that one. Bummer.

Remember the wide variety of styles and colors for bands that were available for the very first Apple Watch?

According to Apple, only Ultra bands will fit the Ultra watches.
No, Apple says: "45mm bands work with 42mm, 44mm and 49mm cases."
The Ultra watch is the 49mm case.
