Along with the Apple Watch Ultra and second-generation Apple Watch SE, the Apple Watch Series 8 is also offered. Fortunately, all of the straps are still compatible with all Apple Watch versions even though Apple has discontinued all previous Apple Watch models. Choosing the best Apple Watch for you is more difficult than it appears because there are three ranges, GPS and GPS and Cellular models, several sizes, all the interchangeable straps, additional Hermes models, and Nike straps. To identify the best model for you and your budget. Here we describe what models are available, and what the differences between them all are.
Apple Watch Ultra
The Apple Watch Ultra only comes in the 49mm size and has a titanium case. It includes an additional programmable button on the left edge and is more sturdy and tough than the other Apple Watch models. There are three strap options for the Watch Ultra, each of which comes in three colors. And is made for a different extreme sport.
The Watch Ultra is intended for people who enjoy extreme sports and is only available in a natural Titanium color with accents of International Orange. Although you may purchase a second strap for the Apple Watch Ultra because it is also compatible with standard 45mm bands.
Apple Watch Hermès
A specialty line of Apple Watch called the Apple Watch Hermès was developed in association with the Hermès fashion house in Paris. The partnership was initially visible on the original 2015 Apple Watch, however, it is currently only available on the Series 8 versions. The Apple Watch Hermès models have a unique Hermès watch face, French-made leather straps created by the company’s artisans, and the Hermès logo on the strap and the underside of the watch body.
Although not all models are offered in both 41mm and 45mm sizes, they all come complete with GPS and cellular connectivity. There are models made of Space Black Stainless Steel and Silver Stainless Steel, as well as several strap choices such as the Gourmette Double Tour, Jumping Single Tour Strap, and standard Single Tour Strap. The Apple Watch Hermès is much more expensive than other Series 8 models, with extreme price tags.
Solo Loop
For additional comfort, the Solo Loop is made of liquid silicone rubber that is stretchy. There is only a seamless loop; there are no buckles or clasps. There are 6 colors and size possibilities for the Solo Loop in both 41mm and 45mm.
You must measure your wrist to achieve the ideal fit because it comes in 12 sizes. The color combinations are Sunglow, Succulent, Chalk Pink, Storm Blue, Midnight, and Chalk.
Alpine Loop
The Alpine Loop is constructed from two textile layers that are seamlessly interwoven to form one item. The top loops are strengthened by yarns, and a corrosion-resistant titanium G-hook fits into the loops for a tight fit. It has three colors and is composed of polyester.

Ocean Loop
The Ocean Band may expand even when used over a wetsuit because it is made of elastomer and has a tubular design. During fast-paced water activities, the buckle’s titanium structure resists corrosion, and an adjustable loop keeps the band in place.
To fit over a thick wetsuit, a band extender is offered for sale separately. Despite being made for the Watch Ultra, it is compatible with the 44mm and 45mm cases as well. Colors of the Ocean Band: Yellow, White, and Midnight
