Apple Watch Sizes Explained. What Size is your Apple Watch?
How to know your Apple Watch model and size?
Your Apple Watch's series and size are printed on the back of the watch.
Apple Watch Band Sizes Are Based on Case Size — Not on the Series
Apple organizes bands by cage size — e.g.: 38mm, 40mm, 41mm, 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, 49mm
What is the difference between the sizes? (38-41 mm and 42-49 mm)
It refers to the size of the Apple Watch's casing or face. Apple Watch models come in different sizes, typically indicated by the diameter of the Apple Watch's casing. The most common sizes are 38 mm, 40 mm, 42 mm, 44 mm, 45 mm, and 49 mm although some older models might have slightly different sizes.
The difference between the sizes (38-41 mm and 42-49 mm) corresponds to the compatible sizes of the Apple Watch cases. For instance:
Size 38-41 mm — small
This size range typically refers to Apple Watch models with a smaller casing. These watches are suitable for people with smaller wrists or those who prefer a more compact design.
Size 42-49 mm — large
This size range likely corresponds to Apple Watch models with a larger casing. These watches provide a bigger screen and are often preferred by individuals with larger wrists or those who prefer a larger display.
