New NOMAD straps for the Apple Watch Ultra

We tested the new Rocky Point Band straps from Nomad, with a sporty design ideal for the Apple Watch Ultra and Made from premium materials, including titanium for closing the strap.

As with cases, there is a lot of life beyond Apple when we look for accessories for its products. And Nomad is one of those brands that always stands out because its products have Fantastic designs combined with top quality materials and very premium finishes, even when it comes to sport bands. The new Rocky Point are a perfect example of this, with five colours available (black, green, blue, black and a limited edition orange), and with the metal elements available in natural titanium and black titanium, just like the Apple Watch Ultra. It is not common to find bands with titanium in their metal elements, but Nomad wants to make a difference here. In addition to the Apple Watch Ultra, it also works with the regular models (44/45/49mm)

Nomad Straps

The strap itself is made of FKM, a fluorinated synthetic rubber that thanks to its manufacturing process has High resistance to temperatures, water and chemicals, so the durability of the strap is guaranteed. These are stiffer straps than Apple's, but this does not mean any reduction in comfort. Nomad has opted for a more conventional clasp, with the excess strap on the outside of the wrist, contrary to Apple's designs where the excess strap is inserted inside. A strap of this material and thickness would not be comfortable with Apple's design. In addition, the clasp is large, which perfectly matches a watch of the design and size of the Apple Watch Ultra. The titanium metal loop added to the clasp gives it an even sportier look, and includes a discreet Nomad logo.

Quality is evident in the details, and these straps do not lack detail. On the inside of the strap we find a striped pattern that means that if we wet the strap, the water can dry more quickly, as well as sweat, thus avoiding possible skin irritations due to humidity. Another important detail is the adjustment of the strap with the Apple Watch Ultra, which is as smooth as with the original straps. Inserting the strap into the slots of the Apple Watch does not require any force, and once in place it can only be removed by pressing the corresponding button on the Apple Watch, so there is no risk of it coming loose with movements, which would result in the Apple Watch falling and almost certainly breaking. We can rest easy.
