Apple introduces Apple Watch Link Bracelet Kit to fit larger wrists
However, Apple compensated this fact with the introduction of a few interchangeable Watch bands.
Furthermore, Apple has also stocked standalone Modern Buckle bands for 38mm stainless steel Apple Watches.
Apple today introduced a new Link Bracelet Kit, which is equipped with six additional stainless steel links to make the 42mm Link Bracelet able to fit wrists that exceed 205mm.
Let’s jump down to the details. To compare, the S/M band fits wrists 140-185mm and the M/L band fits wrists 160-210mm. Previously, the Sport band only extended to 210mm.
Apple touts that the Link Bracelet Kit incorporates the same kind of connections as the standard band. As we all know that the Link Bracelet is crafted from the stainless steel alloy, these links can be added or removed according to a user’s wrist size via a simple release button located on the inner side of the link itself.
Apple’s got two new accessories for the Apple Watch, and they’re both designed to help folks with bigger wrists wear the iOS smartwatch.
Apple won’t ship its timepiece with the new L/XL band, which means you will have to swap the original band that comes with your watch, or shell out the cash to buy the new size. The Link Bracelet Kit is also priced at $49. It additionally also fits up to 245mm wrists. The $249 option has been listed as a band available for purchasing on its own since the Watch launched earlier this year, but until today it has been unavailable. Which band do you guys like the most?
Personally, I would prefer a Milanese Loop for the Apple Watch.
