Thanks to their innovative design, swapping Apple Watch bands is super easy and only takes a few seconds.

If you're looking to upgrade your Apple Watch with a more comfortable band, ZOX Apple Watch Bands are the world's comfiest watch bands. 

Before you change your Watch Band, it's important to have a new band ready to connect to your Apple Watch. If you're looking for a comfortable Apple Watch Band, at ZOX we have tons of beautiful designs to choose from, all made with our trademarked elastic. You can shop our stretchy Apple Watch Bands here.

Swapping out your Apple Watch band can refresh the look of your watch in no time. To ensure a smooth and hassle-free change, consider these helpful hints:

  1. Start with a Clean Slate: Before you switch bands, give your Apple Watch a gentle wipe down. This prevents any dirt or small particles from getting inside the watch during the swap.

  2. Check Band Compatibility: Apple Watches come in different sizes, so it's crucial to pick a band that fits your model perfectly. For Series 1-3, the bands come in 38mm and 42mm sizes, while Series 4 and newer models use 40mm and 44mm bands.

  3. Removing the Old Band: If the current band is stubborn and won't slide out easily, double-check that you're pressing the release button firmly enough. A bit more pressure might do the trick.

  4. Handle with Care: When attaching your new band, do so with a gentle touch. Forcing the band into place could harm the delicate mechanisms of your Apple Watch.

By keeping these simple tips in mind, you can enjoy a variety of bands on your Apple Watch, keeping it fresh and in line with your personal style.

How To Remove Apple Watch Band

The first step to changing your band is removing your current band. 

When you turn your watch with the face down, you'll see two mall and long buttons. Push these buttons down and then slide your current Apple Watch Band Out.

How Change an Apple Watch Band

 Thanks to Apple's design consistency, they've never changed their connectors. All Series of Apple Watches have come in one of two sizes based on the size of your model.  These instructions work for the following Apple Watch Models:

  • Apple Watch Ultra
  • Apple Watch Series 9
  • Apple Watch Series 8
  • Apple Watch Series 7
  • Apple Watch Series 6
  • Apple Watch SE
  • Apple Watch Series 5
  • Apple Watch Series 4
  • Apple Watch Series 3
  • Apple Watch Series 2

Once you've remove your original Apple Watch Band, you'll be able to slide the connectors of your new watch band in. Just make sure they're facing the proper direction.

While ZOX Watch Bands have designs on the inside as well as the outside, they are not reversible. If you do not connect your Apple Watch Band in the right direction, the connectors will not lock into place and your watch will likely fall off. If it falls off, it is likely break or get lost, which is one thing we definitely don't want to have happening!

I find things that I like about each band type/style, but nothing has ‘clicked’ with me as the best band.
