You can get four different bands for under ten bucks (total). If you’ve got more style sense than real sense, you can pick up the $849 Hermes Fauve Barénia Gourmette Double Tour leather band directly from Apple. No matter what band (or bands) you buy, it’s easy to change on an Apple Watch. Doing so generally involves a few simple steps: Let’s get started.
Changing the Apple Watch band
The first step is flipping over the watch and finding the little buttons that are next to the bands. There are two of these buttons, one near each edge, on the bottom of the Apple Watch. It can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, but press that little button in. As you do, start to slide the old band out of the channel that holds it to the watch. If you look really closely inside that sleeve, you can see how there’s a mechanical linkage between the button on the outside and a little pressure plate inside the channel. Most bands have small pressure zones that correspond with that area. Here’s the sports band I will be putting on my Apple Watch. Also: Best sports watch: Garmin, Coros, Polar, and more Just slide it into the channel until it locks. Don’t forget to put on both bands. And there you go.
