How to pick the right size band for your Apple Watch

What actually affects the comfort more, of course, is the material and tightness of the band.

Apple offers a full guide with specifics of each of its own band type (Modern Buckle, Sport, Milanese Loop, Classic Buckle and Link Bracelet); When you buy one of these you’ll have to pick a size. Some Apple Watch Sport bands come with both a S/M and M/L strap to choose from.

How to measure your wrist for an apple watch?

Time needed: 2 minutes.

  1. Use of Measuring tape or paperStart with a flexible measuring tape or strip of paper.
  2. Wrap the tape or the strip of paper around your armWrap it where your watch band would usually sit. The ideal position is just below the wrist bone. (towards your elbow)
  3. Only for when you’re using paperWhen using a strip of paper, take a pen and mark the point where the end meets itself.
  4. Unwrap the paper and lay it flat next to a ruler,when using a measuring tape it will tell you the dimension rightaway
  5. Note your Wrist dimension Chose your size in the Size charts of your favourite Watch

A wrist of 14-16cm, is very thin, 16-17cm is a slender wrist, 17cm-18cm is a medium wrist and above 18cm is a thick wrist
