Apple made a very smart play right from the early days of puttingApple Watchesout into the world - it designed its own bands and a totally new way to swap them in and out.
It’s pretty easy to slide new bands into place, but if you’ve never changed your Apple Watch band before, you might wonder how to actually get a band off your watch. Here’s a quick guide to getting it done.
How to remove Apple Watch bands
Removing Apple Watch bands is thankfully the exact same process across the entire range of Apple Watch models, regardless of which one you’re wearing.
Just follow the steps below to get your band removed:
Once you’ve removed the existing band, you’re able to replace it with whatever you prefer, by simply sliding the new option into place (there’s no need to hold the release button for this part).
Sometimes (especially if you haven’t removed your band in a long time) you might find the band is very resistant to being removed, in which case you should just be patient and firm, and ensure that you’re pressing the band release button all the way down. It can be slightly fiddly since it’s a small button, but it’s still easier than most watch band removal processes we can think of!
If you’re trying to follow the steps above, but can’t quite figure out what the band release button looks like, meanwhile, check out the image below which should help.
