Core Principles: Two Size Categories

Apple Watch strap compatibility can be simply divided into two series: " small size " and " large size ".

  • Small size universal series (38mm / 40mm / 41mm)

    • If you have an Apple Watch with a 38mm, 40mm, or 41mm case, all bands listed in those three sizes are compatible with each other. For example, a band designed for a 41mm Series 9 will fit perfectly on an older 38mm Series 3.

  • Large size universal series (42mm / 44mm / 45mm / 49mm)

    • Likewise, if you own a watch with a 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, or 49mm (Apple Watch Ultra) case, all bands listed in those sizes are also compatible. For example, an off-road band designed for an Apple Watch Ultra (49mm) will also work perfectly with a 44mm Apple Watch SE.

How do I determine my Apple Watch case size?

The quickest way to find out is to flip over to the back of your watch . Around the circle surrounding the heart rate sensor, you'll see engraved text that clearly indicates your case size, such as "41MM" or "45MM."

Apple Watch case sizes overview

Apple Watch offers a variety of case sizes. Here are the detailed sizes for the different series:

Before choosing the size of the Apple Watch strap, you must first select the correct face size. Each generation has large and small faces. If you choose the wrong size, the connector of the strap will be too long or too short when it is installed on the face. You can check the dial size from the back of the Apple Watch and choose the corresponding strap and protective case according to the size.
