Choose the right Apple Watch size
In the Apple Store app (not the App Store), you can see the true size of the Apple Watch. Follow these steps to do that:
- Open the Apple Store app. It's already on your iPhone and has a blue bag icon.
- Look for the Apple Watch and choose your Apple Watch.
- Under the header 'case size', there's a block that says 'Need help choosing your size?'. Then select the i next to it.
- You'll now see a screen where you can choose between the different sizes.
- Hold your iPhone on your wrist to see how large the watch case looks on your wrist.
You can also measure your wrist with measuring tape. We'll tell you how to do this in this article.
Which size strap do you need?
When you buy a new Apple Watch SE or Apple Watch 9 or 10, you have to choose which strap size you want. At first, you received 2 sizes in the box. Now, it's only 1. You can choose from:
- Sports band size S/M: for a wrist circumference of 13 to 18cm.
- Sports band size M/L: for a wrist circumference of 15 to 20cm.
- Sport Loop: 1 size for a wrist circumference up to 22cm.
Apple Watch straps
Do you have an old Apple Watch strap lying around? There's a good chance it'll fit your new Apple Watch. You can see which straps fit on which sizes Apple Watch cases.
- Apple Watch 38/40/41/42mm
- Apple Watch 42/44/45mm
- Apple Watch 44/45/46/49mm
It's possible that the colors of the straps aren't the same as the watch case colors or the newer Apple Watch models.
