Episode Notes

There’s just something incredibly captivating about titanium watches. Very few things command the attention and awe like the metallic sheen and style of the most high-end products, but sometimes, style comes with a price - a very hefty one at that.

Here’s food for thought, though: if you’re the proud owner of an Apple Watch Ultra, you can just buy a titanium watch band to achieve that sleek look without spending thousands on a brand-name watch. Not sure what to look for? Experts in the industry have broken it down for you so you can buy with confidence.

There’s a lot of hype surrounding titanium, and for good reason. Titanium is an industrial metal known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. The metal is popular in the watch band industry because it is significantly less dense than alloys such as stainless steel, making it more lightweight and comfortable to wear.

Additionally, because it possesses a natural oxide layer that remains inert even in contact with the human body, titanium is a hypoallergenic option for people who have adverse reactions to nickel and steel products.

Most watch bands are manufactured from commercially pure titanium, with the most common forms in the industry being Grade 2 and Grade 4 titanium. The latter is typically considered the strongest form of pure titanium and can be found in most high-end watches.

Like everything else, though, extra durability comes with extra costs. Naturally, that means Grade 4 titanium watch bands are way more expensive than their Grade 2 counterparts. Depending on your budget, the durability may not be worth it for the price tag, especially when Grade 2 watch bands do the job just fine.

So, let’s take a look at those next. Grade 2 titanium watch bands, which are available on RobustGoods’ online store, offer a similar level of strength and durability while being more affordable. Designed for everyday use, these straps typically weigh less than 70 grams on an average wrist.

And don’t worry. While they may not be as strong as Grade 4 watch bands, most will still be coated with diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating to protect them from daily wear.

You don’t have to worry about sizing, either. Most watch bands are designed to fit wrists up to 9 inches in circumference, and many available on the market will come with an adjustment tool that can be used to shorten the strap to the desired length.

If you want a versatile option, look for titanium watch bands that are compatible with all Apple Watches, including the Apple Watch Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 with 49-mm cases, the Series 1-10 watches, and the SE. Do note that despite this compatibility, a lot of titanium watch bands will be best for the Ultra series, as they are designed to match the casing.

There’s no need to trade style for functionality when you could have both with a Grade 2 titanium Apple Watch band. Now that you know what your options are, you’ll have an idea of what to look for when you’re adding to your wardrobe.
