Until now, PITAKA’s Apple Watch bands used carbon fiber as the standard, but this one uses ChromaCarbon, which is a combination of aramid fiber and carbon fiber.
In addition, this model is one model of the art series “Weaving + (weaving plus) series” that PITAKA has been selling since 2023, and has a design that incorporates art into everyday life.
Available in 2 colors.
There are two types: “Mosaic” color inspired by Antoni Gaudi’s famous building “Casa Batllo” and “Stairs” color inspired by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill’s “La Muralla Roja (Red Wall)”.
Compatible Apple Watch case sizes range from 38mm to 49mm, and can be attached to all current Apple Watch models (Series 8, SE, Ultra).
In addition to the official website, it is also on sale at Amazon and Rakuten official shops.

As a high-end Apple Watch band, it comes in a large box for an Apple Watch band.
When you hold the mosaic color in your hand, it looks like this.
The package is stylish too.
When you open the mosaic color package, you will find a band like this.
The square object on the right is…?
It was a Rubik’s Cube!
The pattern is printed with the same atmosphere as the band, so it looks like it would be nice to display it together in the Apple Watch charging area.
Another “Stairs” color band and Rubik’s Cube look like this.
This is a calm coloring that makes you feel a Japanese atmosphere.
Check the material and appearance of the band!
I took the band out of the box.
The “Mosaic” color has a brightness that makes you feel the sea, and it seems to be perfect for summer.
This band uses aramid fiber on the surface and carbon fiber on the inside, making it extremely light but extremely durable.
Carbon fiber is a high-strength carbon fiber material used in the aerospace field.
It is characterized by being light and having high toughness.
Aramid fibers, on the other hand, are also used in body armor, supercars, airplanes, spaceships, and F2 cars.
The material is lightweight, ultra-thin, and resistant to scratches and fading.
The weight was 33g.
It seems to be about half the weight compared to the band made of stainless steel.
There are nylon fiber bands for Apple Watch bands that are made of light materials, but this band is light and has an outstanding sense of quality.
It goes well with slightly formal attire.
The size of this product can be adjusted by attaching and detaching the frame. Spare frames are also available.
Attachment and detachment of the top can be easily done with the attached pin.
When it arrived, it was quite long for me, so I removed 5 or 6 frames in total and it was perfect.
A simple instruction manual is attached to the package, so anyone should be able to do it without any problems.
I actually attached it to Apple Watch
When attached to Apple Watch, it looks like this.
It certainly has an artistic atmosphere and is cool!
By the way, the Apple Watch was the Apple Watch Ultra (49mm) on the right and the Series 5 44mm model on the left, so I could wear both sizes without discomfort.
Mosaic colors may go well with lighter cases such as silver, and Stairs colors may go well with cases such as black and gold.
I actually put it on my arm!
First of all, I tried wearing the color of the mosaic.
It’s a refreshing color, and it looks like it’s going to be a fashionable atmosphere even if you match it with a t-shirt!
In addition, the movement of the connection part of each frame of the band is very smooth.
You can attach Apple Watch with a light feeling of wearing without tightening your arm.
Here are the colors of the stairs.
It has a calm atmosphere, and it is an atmosphere that seems to match well with suits.
It’s also nice to have the small letters “PITAKA” on the back.
By the way, the band is attached with a magnetic adsorption type, and when you turn it around your arm, it clicks and sticks easily.
As for the feeling of size, if you put one or two fingers in the band when you put it on, it will be less constricting and comfortable to wear.
When paired with the Apple Watch Ultra, the case has a solid weight and is easy to move, so it seems that you can get a more stable fit by reducing one frame compared to other cases.
The strongest band for everyday use!
As an impression after using it for a while, I felt that the feeling of wearing is very light and comfortable, which is a big attraction!
Even with a fashionable band, you will gradually stop wearing things that make you feel uncomfortable (heavy or sticky), but PITAKA’s band doesn’t have that.
It looks fashionable and is comfortable to wear, so it’s the strongest band for everyday use!
If you are looking for a fashionable band for everyday use, you should definitely try it as one of the candidates.
It should be a partner of Apple Watch that can be used for a long time!
