Which Band to Select?

Selecting the right size for your Apple Watch band is simple — here’s how:

1️⃣ Check Your Apple Watch Case Size

  • Look at the back of your Apple Watch or the original packaging.

  • You’ll see the case size in millimeters: 38, 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46, or 49 mm.

2️⃣ Match the Band Size

  • For 38mm, 40mm, 41mm, or 42mm cases → choose the 40/41/42mm band size.

  • For 44mm, 45mm, 46mm, or 49mm cases → choose the 44/45/46/49mm band size.

Important:
If your Apple Watch is from 2015–2018 and says “42mm,” choose the 44/45/46/49mm band size.
If it’s a recent model marked “42mm” (e.g., 2024), choose the 40/41/42mm band size.
