How to Select the Band Size for Your Apple Watch

Now that you know how to swap out the band on your Apple Watch, how do you figure out which band size fits your device best? Here is a condensed version of our response to this query:

You must first ascertain the dimensions of your Apple Watch. You may always turn the watch over and read the language around the sensors if you're still not sure. As shown in our Watch Ultra, you can find the size of your Apple Watch band here.

After you've determined the size of your Apple Watch, use this method to find out which band size fits your wearable. These are your options:

• Buy a 41mm band if you own a 38mm, 40mm, or 41mm Apple Watch 8, 7, SE, or whatever version.
• Buy a 45mm band if you own a 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, or 49mm Apple Watch Ultra, 8, or lower variant.

Although the firm recommends saving your 45mm Apple Watch Ultra bands for informal, daily use, you may still purchase them. A 49mm strap is what you should acquire if you want to use the Watch Ultra for the activities and sports it was designed for.

Your wrist size determines the size of the Apple Watch; if your wrist is average in size, choose a 41mm model; if it is huge, choose a larger one.

Just turn your Apple Watch over and look at the rear engraving to find out its size.

The Apple Watch's rear side, or top center, houses all of the sensors, including the Band Release button. To take off or swap out the band on your Apple Watch, just push and hold the band release button.

Take off the band from your iWatch and use a microfiber cloth free of lint to clean it. After the strap has dried, replace it on your watch.

Although not waterproof, Apple Watches are water-resistant. This implies that you may wear your Apple Watch while working out, cleaning your hands, and in mild rain. You may wear your Apple Watch Ultra while swimming, water skiing, diving down to 130 feet, and taking showers. Speaking of the Apple Watch bands, the Milanese, Link, Classic, Leather Loop, and Modern bracelet bands aren't water-resistant.
