What’s wrong with the regular, not-so-attractive Apple Watch band that comes with the device? It’s not just you. Besides offering many useful features, Apple Watch also allows users to customize their bands. This guide is for you if you have purchased or plan to purchase an upgraded strap. Here’s how to remove and change your Apple Watch strap.
How to Remove Apple Watch Band
In spite of what it may seem like, changing your Apple Watch band is actually quite easy. We’ll begin by removing the iWatch band:
- The Apple Watch should be placed upside down on a clean flat surface after being taken off your wrist. To remove the Apple Watch band, press and hold the “Band Release” button with your finger.
- By sliding the band left or right while holding the button, the Apple Watch band can be removed from the slot.
- Remove the Apple Watch strap on the other side using the same procedure.
How to Install Apple Watch Band
Now that you have successfully removed the strap from your Apple Watch, it is time to learn how to add a new Apple Watch strap to your watch. Below, we have detailed how to change the Apple Watch strap:
- Again, place the Apple Watch on a clean flat surface.
- Align the new band with the Apple Watch’s band slot (slightly at an angle). Here, remember that the side of the strap that contains text (band size and wrist size) should be toward the sensors.
- Once the band has been updated, slide it into the slot until a click is heard. The other side should be performed in the same manner.
That’s all there is to it. Here’s how to replace an Apple Watch band. Check out our other Apple Watch guides, such as how to use Google Maps. You will learn more about what you can do with your Apple Watch by reading this.
How to Choose the Apple Watch Band Size
So now that you know how to change your Apple Watch strap, how do you determine what size band to use? Here is a simplified answer to this question:
The first thing you need to know is the size of your Apple Watch. The text around the sensors can be viewed at any time if you are unsure. Here you can find the size of your Apple Watch band, as shown in our Watch Ultra.
Using this guide, you can determine what size band is compatible with your Apple Watch once you know its size. You have the following options:
- If you own a 38mm, 40mm, or 41mm Apple Watch 8, 7, SE, or any other version, you should buy a 41mm band.
- If you own a 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, or 49mm Apple Watch Ultra, 8, or lower variant, purchase a 45mm band.
Although you can buy 45mm straps for your new Apple Watch Ultra, the company recommends you only use them for everyday, casual wear. Wearing the Watch Ultra for its intended purpose, such as sports activities and stuff, will require a 49mm strap.
Benefits of customising the watch band
Occasionally, things get better with age, but sometimes they just get old fast. Despite the versatility of watches, over time, you will feel the desire to change your watch and have something new on your wrist. As a serial watch buyer, you shell out a lot of money on something new that catches your eye, wear it a handful of times, and then throw it in the back of a drawer after growing tired of it.
- The first and biggest advantage of changing your watch strap is that it’s easier on your pockets.
- Your Style Gives You More Flexibility. You can create a whole new look and style by making the change.
Now that you know how to change a watch strap, the question is why should you bother. When you want to spice things up, you can change your watch strap instead of going for a new watch.
