Apple Watch Band Size & Compatibility Guide – Find Your Perfect Fit

Your Apple Watch should feel great and look great. The trick is choosing a band that matches your case size and fits your wrist. Here’s the quick guide (with a simple chart) so you can buy with confidence.

1) Check your Apple Watch case size

Look on the back of your Apple Watch (or in the Watch app → General → About). You’ll see a number in millimeters: 38, 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, or 49 mm.

2) Match your case to our band sizes (simple chart)

Your Apple Watch case Select this band size on our site
38 / 40 / 41 mm 40/41/42 mm
42 / 44 / 45 / 49 mm (Ultra) 44/45/46/49 mm

Notes & edge cases

  • 42 mm (older models) uses the larger band family → select 44/45/46/49.

  • Ultra (49 mm): choose 44/45/46/49. Most 45 mm‑family bands fit Ultra just fine.
