Will your bands fit my Apple Watch?Updated 7 hours ago

Yes. Every band we sell fits every Apple Watch ever made, including the new Series 12 and Ultra 4. Apple did not change case sizes or the band connector this year, so nothing about fit changed.

You just need to pick the right size family. Which one you need depends on your watch's case size, not its series number.

Choose 38/40/41/42 if your watch is:

  • Series 12 - 42mm (new)
  • Series 10 or 11 - 42mm
  • Series 7, 8 or 9 - 41mm
  • Series 4, 5 or 6 - 40mm
  • SE, SE 2 or SE 3 - 40mm
  • Series 1, 2 or 3 - 38mm

Choose 42/44/45/46/49 if your watch is:

  • Ultra 4 - 49mm (new)
  • Series 12 - 46mm (new)
  • Ultra 1, 2 or 3 - 49mm
  • Series 10 or 11 - 46mm
  • Series 7, 8 or 9 - 45mm
  • Series 4, 5 or 6 - 44mm
  • SE, SE 2 or SE 3 - 44mm
  • Series 1, 2 or 3 - 42mm

If your watch says 42mm, read this first

There are two completely different 42mm Apple Watches, and they take different bands. This is the mix-up we see most often.

  • A 42mm Series 10, 11 or 12 takes the 38/40/41/42 band.
  • A 42mm Series 1, 2 or 3 takes the 42/44/45/46/49 band.

Same number on the box, different band. So if you are upgrading from an old 42mm Series 3 to a new 42mm Series 12, your old bands will not fit.

Not sure what size your watch is?

It is printed on the back of your watch. You can also check on your iPhone: open the Watch app, then My Watch, General, About.

Then pick your length

Our silicone and nylon bands come in two lengths. This part is about your wrist, not your watch.

  • S/M fits wrists 5.1" to 7.1"
  • M/L fits wrists 6.3" to 8.3"

In between? Either works. Pick S/M for a snug fit, M/L for a little more room. Steel, link and Milanese bands are one size with adjustable links, so you only need to match the size family.

Our full size guide has a model picker and a wrist-measuring walkthrough if you want to double-check.

Still not sure? Exchanges are free. Email us at [email protected] and we will tell you exactly which size you need.
