Common Concerns When Choosing an Apple Watch Band
When choosing a leather band for your Apple Watch,
many people have the following questions:
・I don't know the size of my Apple Watch.
・I'm unsure which bands are compatible.
・I don't want to buy the wrong one.
Actually, Apple Watch bands are very simple once you understand the sizing rules.
Apple Watch Sizes Are Divided into 2 Groups
Apple Watch models are divided into the following two groups:
Small Size Group
・38mm
・40mm
・41mm
Large Size Group
・42mm
・44mm
・45mm
・49mm (Ultra)
👉 Bands are generally interchangeable within the same group.
How to Check Your Apple Watch Size
Method ①: Check the Case Back
If you look at the back of your Apple Watch,
the size is engraved there.
e.g., "41mm", "45mm"
This is the most reliable and easiest method.
Method ②: Check from your iPhone
You can also check from the "Watch" app on your iPhone.
Steps
- Open the Watch app.
- "General" → "About"
- Check the case size.
Band Selection Rules (Important)
When choosing a band, you only need to remember the following compatibilities:
・38 / 40 / 41 → The same band can be used.
・42 / 44 / 45 / 49 → The same band can be used.
In other words,
if you know which group your size belongs to, you won't get confused.
