I’m looking for a good titanium link bracelet or similar for my Ultra 2. Any suggestions?

This band has the same color coating as the Ultra, but is Stainless Steel (not sure if you want an actual Titanium band or just a color-matched one); https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6LJSC89?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It matches my Ultra perfectly (from the Orange strip matching the action button to the actual band color). It's super durable as I’ve banged it against things when working and 0 issues with paint chipping, scratches, and others (still looks brand new after a few months of everyday use).

I bought a stainless steel copy of the Apple Bracelet Link. Purchased it on aliexpress and it looks just like the one that you might have seen from "Infinity Loops". Aliexpress was $26, Infinity Loops $95, Apple Bracelet Link $349.

Completely satisfied with it, the quality is really good and this is coming from a person that never buys 3rd party (or generic) brands. I'll only wear it a couple times a year whenever I wear a suit and couldn't justify spending $$$ on the Apple one.

Here's some pics. And the link to aliexpress for reference. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805744198396.html

Don’t like the pattern, sorry!


Out of stock for Italy, it seems.

In the end, picked up this one from Amazon.it, from TRUMiRR.

I picked up two different titanium bands for my Ultra (Kordiz & LDFAS-SSR). I really can't decide which one I want to keep. Here are the Pros and Cons.

Kordiz
Pros:
Finish matches the Ultra finish.
Like the design slightly better than the LDFAS.
Adjustment link pins are thicker than LDFAS and not spring loaded.
Cons:
Scratches easily (like most ti bands).
Clasp doesn't lay flat.

LDFAS SSR (Super Scratch Resistant)
Pros:
Does not scratch easily.
Clasp lays completely flat.
Cons:
Finish does not match the Ultra (looks more like stainless than ti).
Don't like the design as much as the Kordiz.
Adjustment link pins are thin and spring loaded.

I've worn both for a couple days and it the LDFAS SSR doesn't have any scratches whereas the Kordiz has the typical scratches at the bottom of the wrist area.
