NOMAD Apple Watch Sport Band Rocky Point Apple Watch Band with Titanium Hardware

I've been wanting this Nomad Rocky Point Band for my Apple Watch Ultra when I saw it released. It's got a super cool, rugged vibe to it and that unique color! Wow! It's sort of a slightly orangeish yellow (definitely much more yellow than anything). It's a super unique color and design, which I absolutely love.The price is probably $20 more than it should be, but the build quality is outstanding, the titanium bits first rate, and the comfort just perfect. The holes are spaced slightly too far apart, in my estimation (much wider than the Apple Watch Ocean Band), so that this might not fit everyone, but by good fortune it fit me absolutely perfectly.Finally, I agree with others that the magnets on the end are too large or misaligned making the band somewhat difficult to attach to the watch. I was able to attach it carefully but for sure it is not the easy, carefree process and quality of an Apple official OEM band to take the band on and off.With that in mind, if you can stomach the price, this is a definite recommend from me, for a high quality band that's not made by Apple.

This is a great band for the SPORT’s look. (I have the original band, a very dressy Titanium band and now this Sports band)This band looks expensive, it’s classy, well made, the metals match and best of all, it’s very comfortable.I’m older and have arthritis, so I love the wide “toung” they have to secure the band… the little pencil thin units are hard for us old folks to fasten.Did l hear you say it’s hard to mount on the watch? Well, I guess it can be… but when you know a few tricks… it slides in easily.Refer to the picture… the center “notch” in the 2 sides of the band are spring loaded and there’s one on both the top and the bottom of each side.Those spring loaded areas are evidently heavy duty, but once you depress them and get them started into the watch… they go on through fairly easily.Oh yes… did I mention I had arthritis? I used a pair of needle nose pliers to aid in depressing those springs.So, if you like the look of this band… well that’s up to you.

I bought two of these for my Apple Watch Ultra 2. Both broke. The first I could not slide into the watch and after about 30 minutes of struggling the spring popped out and returned it. Then I ordered another thinking it was an isolated defect and I managed to get it on after only about five minutes. Once it was on, it’s a nice band. A bit overpriced but still very nice. After about a week I removed it to wear a titanium band for the night. When I tried to reinstall the nomad it wouldn’t slide back on and once again the spring failed. I was able to return it and emailed nomad but they didn’t even bother to respond to two emails. I’d stay clear of this band. I ended up getting the robust titanium fkm and couldn’t be happier. Much better quality and similar style

The quality of this band is far superior to previous bands I’ve bought on here. It’s durable and comfortable, and it looks great too! It’s definitely a little pricey, but honestly it’s worth it. I work in manufacturing and needed something that could withstand what I do on the daily. I will say if you have big wrists this may not be the band for you. My wrists aren’t that big and there’s not much room left, but it fits me perfectly. (See photos) so far I’ve purchased the blue one and the storm gray. I did give it one less star because the connectivity to the watch is a little loose, but it seems locked in and I haven’t had any issues with it. Also, I wish they had more color options. Over all, I’m super happy with this purchase.

I have purchased Nomad products before and always find them good quality if not a little pricey. As for those reviewers that had issue with the way the band connects to the watch. . . there are instructions right in the box showing that by slightly depressing the center button on the band as you slide it one, it slides on perfectly with very little pressure. I believe this may provide a stronger attachment between the watch and band. So don't be put off by those reviews. This is another great Nomad band.

The media could not be loaded. For such an expensive band, I expect the fitment to be like OEM or better, but it does not secure very well and is extremely loose. The band itself is made well, but the most important part where it secures is extremely floppy see picture.

Love the band but I do get a funny rash from it sometimes. I just take it off and put lotion on and it goes away. But it is comfortable and looks great.

I ordered the blue with black titanium. Love the color and the look. I own several bands from different brand. I don’t like to do bad reviews. I’m a nomad fan of their products but sad to report that their watch band division needs to step up and improve their manufacturing process. I ordered this band three times, shame on me but really wanted this color. The first one didn’t not fit from either band ends and was afraid to brake my watch, the raised pads were too high. The second one only fit from one band end and the other side had the same raised pad issue. The third one finally fit with help by pressing the pads down while inserting into the watch grooves. Unfortunately this band doesn’t look very secure to the watch itself and on each end you can shake it and see how loose it is. This visible without the additional movement. To me the should have done more work on the watch connectors, provided added stability and improved fitment. For over $75 I expect a much better product.
