how to change apple watch bands?

Step 1: Check Your Watch Size

Look on the back of your Apple Watch – you’ll see the size (e.g. 41mm or 45mm).

Then make sure your band matches:
🔘 38mm / 40mm / 41mm bands work together
🔘 42mm / 44mm / 45mm / 49mm bands work together

❗ Mismatched sizes won’t slide in properly.

Step 2: Remove Your Old Band

Press and hold the band release button on the back of your watch.
Then gently slide the band out. No tools needed!

Step 3: Install Your New Band the Right Way

✅ Make sure the metal side of the connector faces the back of your Apple Watch.
🔁 The rubber/smooth side should face up – that’s the top.

👉 You don’t need to press any buttons.
Just slide the band in gently, following the track.

🔒 You’ll hear a soft "click" when it’s locked in securely.

That’s it – you're ready to go!
