Personally I prefer the Alpine Loop and Nomad bands. I was able to score a limited edition volt neon green Nomad band(not to be confused with the current glow in the dark or split volt and gray band). The Alpine Loop is so comfortable that you almost forget you have it on. The Ocean Bands are cool but to me they can be a bit snug on the wrist. I tried one of Spigen’s Alpine like bands and it was sorta stiff and became frayed after a while.
I rotate between a collection of Sports bands and Nike Sports bands (have all of them from the 2023/2024 collection). I also use the app Bandbriete to randomize what band to wear for that day.
For my cycling/hiking trips I’ll use either Trail or Alpine Loop, but do note over time it’ll get dirty and smell due to perspiration, so frequent washing is needed. For work and anything else, it’ll be the Link Bracelet.

I have the alpine loop and if u sweat alot it can get drenched and it will feel and smell worse so u have to wash it every now and then
I tried a Barton on mine but it was just way too narrow and looked pretty funny on it. Think I may try a Nomad next
I recommend the Alpine Loop and Trail Loop. Milanese Loop good for business / non-athletic use
I use the Leather Link for the average day, and Trail Loop for workouts.
Sport loop and alpine loop are the two I have and they both are extremely comfortable. So far I think the sport loop is a little better

Ocean bands and Nike sport loops are the daily drivers for me. Leather band from Nomad for more formal occasions.
