How to know what size band the Apple Watch needs?

The process of replacing an Apple Watch band is quite easy. Following that, determining what band size is most appropriate for your watch can be simplified as well. To know the size of your watch, look at the text around the sensors on its back.

To know which band size is compatible with your device, here are the detailed options:

• Watch 8, 7, SE, or any other version in either 38 mm, 40 mm, or 41 mm: Purchase a band in the 41 mm size.

• Watch Ultra, 8, or a lower variant that measures either 42 mm, 44 mm, 45 mm, or 49 mm: Purchase a 45 mm band.

For sports and high-octane activities, Apple advises getting a 49 mm strap for your watch. However, if you're using it casually on a daily basis, you will find 45 mm straps more useful.
