Paying $10 for this strap, and extracting their adapters would work as well, if you have the tool on hand to separate them from the strap.
However, be aware that if you own an Ultra, the contours of its case differ slightly, enough so that many of the adapters sold as fitting "42/44/49mm" might not be a perfect match in terms of shape, never mind color, which has been a struggle from the very first Apple Watch.
The beauty shots of this strap on BB's site illustrate the kind of sloppy fit that's unfortunately not an uncommon trait with such adapters, or those that come bundled even on some expensive straps.
But because they're cheap, and most people don't notice, and wouldn't pay more for a truly well made adapter, the cheap ones basically own the market and are the only kind available.
Some AW accessory makers have commissioned their own adapters for their straps, but those can have issues as well, aesthetically, if not fit wise, like the comically large and ill-proportioned ones Nomad makes for use on their straps.
