Apple Watch Ultra Orange Alpine band showing wear already

I've had my Ultra for just over 14 days and have not done much "extraneous" activities but have noticed that depending on the angle or light reference the band appears to be dirty.

Pretty disappointed that such a pricey watch band (the band alone goes for over $100 regardless of size when you factor in taxes 49mm Orange Alpine Loop - Small - Apple) is not looking as good. I have seen tips on cleaning bands How to clean your Apple Watch - Apple Support and will have to try that at some point since I'm disappointed after just over 14 days.

Based on the photos you showed, the band is dirty, but by no means wearing badly. It's fabric. Fabric gets dirty. Wash the band in warm sudsy water, rinse it thoroughly and let it dry. If a fabric band is going to be hard for you to keep clean, buy another band which is a Fluoroelastomer, which won't show dirt.
