Apple has this week launched a new Apple Watch accessory that has been designed to accommodate owners with larger wrists.
The Apple Watch strap accessory L/XL Sports Band and Link Bracelet Kit adds an extra 40 mm to the 42 mm metal bands providing six links to add on. This new addition is particularly beneficial for those who have found the standard sizes to be insufficient for their wrist size, ensuring a more comfortable and secure fit.
Enhanced Comfort and Customization
The extra Apple Watch link kits are now available from the Apple Store priced at $49 for the metal straps. Large plastic straps are also available, expanding the range to include: S/M and M/L 140–210mm, and M/L and L/XL 160–245mm. This expanded range ensures that users can find a strap that fits their wrist perfectly, enhancing both comfort and usability. Apple explains more:
Crafted from the same stainless steel alloy as the case and the Link Bracelet, these links extend the 42mm stainless steel Link Bracelet by an additional 40mm. And thanks to a simple release button, you can add and remove them without any special tools.
This ease of customization means that users can adjust their watch bands at home without needing to visit a store or use specialized tools. The simple release button mechanism is designed to be user-friendly, allowing for quick adjustments on the go.
Style and Functionality
The new bands are not just about size; they also offer a stylish and functional upgrade to the Apple Watch. The stainless steel alloy used in the links matches the high-quality finish of the Apple Watch case, ensuring a seamless and elegant look. This attention to detail is typical of Apple’s design philosophy, which prioritizes both aesthetics and functionality.
Moreover, the availability of large plastic straps provides an alternative for those who prefer a lighter, more flexible material. These straps are ideal for sports and other physical activities, where comfort and durability are paramount. The plastic straps are designed to withstand sweat and moisture, making them perfect for active users.
