As the popularity of the Apple Watch continues to grow, enthusiasts and everyday users alike are on the hunt for the perfect band to complement this iconic piece of technology. Among the luxury materials for watch bands, titanium stands out for its combination of elegance, strength, and light weight. Two brands, Infinity Loops and Nomad, have made their mark in this segment, but are they equal in quality and value? We delve into a six-month review by prominent Apple Watch YouTuber "TheAppleBias" to find out.
First Impressions: Style and Build
Right out of the box, both bands demand attention. The Infinity Loops Titanium Link Bracelet offers a sleek and modern design, matching the aesthetic of the Apple Watch seamlessly. The Nomad Titanium Band, on the other hand, takes a more rugged approach, looking slightly more industrial.
At three times the cost of the Infinity Loops band, one might expect the Nomad to have an advantage in build quality. However, upon closer inspection, TheAppleBias noted comparable build quality between the two, with both bands showcasing precision in their craftsmanship.
Comfort and Daily Wear
When it comes to wearability, titanium bands have the advantage of being both durable and lightweight. Over six months, TheAppleBias found both bands to be comfortable for extended use. Neither band showed significant signs of wear or damage, even with daily use.
The Infinity Loops band, given its price point, surprised with its resilience and wase of adjustment. The Nomad band, while also comfortable, has a slightly darker shade of titanium than the actual Apple Watch Ultra case
Adjustability and Fit
Adjustability is key. Both bands provide easy link removal for a customizable fit. TheAppleBias, however, found the Infinity Loops' adjustment process slightly more user-friendly with it's tool free adjustment method.
Value for Money
This is where the real difference lies. With the Nomad Titanium Band priced at three times the Infinity Loops Titanium Link Bracelet, does the cost justify the product? According to TheAppleBias, while the Nomad band is undeniably a premium product, the Infinity Loops band offers comparable quality and aesthetic at a fraction of the price, making it an undeniable contender in the value-for-money category.
Final Thoughts
After six months of testing, TheAppleBias concluded that while both bands are excellent choices for Apple Watch enthusiasts, the Infinity Loops Titanium Link Bracelet stands out as the clear winner in terms of value. While the Nomad band has its merits, the price difference is hard to justify when a brand like Infinity Loops offers a comparable, if not superior, product for less.
