To find out whether you need the S/M or the M/L size, it's best to measure your own wrist. There are several ways to do this. It is important to measure for the lump that sits on your wrist. To measure your wrist, you will need a string or cord and a ruler or tape measure. It can also be done with just a tape measure, this is explained in Method 2.


To find out what wrist size you have:

1. Grab a piece of string or cord
2. Wrap the string around your wrist
3. Make sure it fits snugly around your wrist
4. Hold the string where the end meets
5. Then lay the string or cord along a ruler
6. See how long the string is
7. This is your wrist size!

 Method 2: Measure Apple Watch size

1. Take a tape measure
2. Put the tape measure around your wrist
3. See where the end of the tape measure meets
4. This is your wrist size!

A better fit makes for better measurements

The best results with features like wrist sensing, the Taptic Engine and the electrical and optical heart rate sensors are obtained when the back of the Apple Watch makes contact with the skin. If you wear the Apple Watch properly fitted (not too tight, not too loose and with enough slack so your skin can breathe), the Watch will sit comfortably on your wrist and allow the sensors to do their job.

You may want to tighten your Apple Watch band during workouts. Then loosen it again when you're done. Also, the sensors only work when you wear the Apple Watch on top of your wrist. If the Apple Watch does not stay in place properly or if the sensors do not measure your heart rate, tighten the strap slightly. The Apple Watch should be snug but comfortable.

Fake or real band?

  1. Original packaging > Is the original packaging included?
  2. Price > A band cheaper than €20 is not realistic, as Apple often maintains its value.
  3. Size print > On the inside, the size is indicated on both sides, e.g. S or e.g. 40mm.
  4. Imprint 'Assembled in China' > Apple's connector says 'Assembled in China'.
  5. Imprint on the side of the connector pin > There is a very small imprint of a code on the side of the connector pin.  
  6. Other materials and colours > Look carefully at the material of the straps that it is not plastic. See the Bandbreite app to make sure the colour is actually released by Apple. 
  7. Neater finish > Look closely at the finish of the edges. Apple always provides a nice finish.
  8. Inform yourself > The more you know about the original straps, the sooner you can fish out the fake versions.
