Berlin | Carbon | Blue

The Bandwerk Berlin Carbon Blue is a quality watch band and compliments my Apple Ultra 2. It’s very comfortable.

To provide a less sporty alternative to the Ocean Band that came with my watch, I considered leather options that would handle the high humidity where I live. The writeup for the Berlin Carbon highlights that it has a special coating that deals well with moisture. I chose the blue band over the other colors due to blue working well with clothes I normally use either brown or black accessories with (belts and shoes). It is darker than the Blue Ocean Band.

Originally, I selected the standard buckle; however, researching the durability of strap bands showed that butterfly clasps reduce the wear on leather—less bending to get in the strap loops and abrasion from the buckle. While the band was in route, I contacted customer service and ordered the add-on clasp. Customer service was quick and informative when answering my emails. The butterfly clasp is pricey ($36 US); however, it matches the color and finish of the Ultra 2 case.

There are many vendors to choose from for after-market Apple watch bands. I am pleased I chose Bandwerk.

First impression (right out of the box), this is an extremely well made product. Great looking watch band by itself, but better looking on the Apple Watch Ultra 2. I’m so impressed with its look and feel. I’m also impressed by how easy it is to keep this band clean (clear water rise, soft cloth dry and your back in action. ) I would highly recommend this band to anyone looking for a good looking day-to-day band that tolerates more than occasional activity.

Very impressed with the quality and workmanship of the watchband. Immediately dressed up my Apple Watch Ultra 2

This is my second Band from Bandwerk because I got a new watch. My old band is still functional and beautiful. This new Berlin Carbon band is a work of art. Quick shipping and great service. Bandwerk is a terrific company and I will always buy my leather bands from them.

The Berlin Blue band is leather that has been waterproofed. This allows me to wear it anywhere. I chose the blue model because I didn't want the contrasting white thread on the other options. I think is a more formal look but remains versatile because of the hybrid materials used.
