First, place the watch face down on a soft, scratch-free surface.
Then we look for two small oblong buttons on the back of the gadget (they are located at the top and bottom of the device).
Select one and click on it, while the holder itself will slide out of the clamps, move it to the side, take it out completely, then repeat this action for the second part of the bracelet.

If you need to apply force to detach, this means that the button is not fully pressed. In this case, do not jerk or apply force, as this may damage the holder. You just need to push the button harder and push it in until it stops. To do this, you can use something plastic or wood (not leaving scratches).

After the old bracelet has been removed, we insert another one from the side, it must be attached to the watch, moving the holder to the position in which a click will be heard. If the strap is made of plastic, then we set it so that the inscription on it is on the back of the watch.

Replacing the block bracelet

If you use a block bracelet, changing the Apple Watch strap is a little more difficult, since it needs to be disassembled and replaced, the change takes place in 4 steps:

First, close the clasp of the bracelet, moving its edges towards each other, until the clasp is fastened, a click must be heard.
We press and hold the button responsible for quick opening, it is located on the inside (next to the fastener).
Slowly and carefully separate the links to divide the strap into 2 parts.
Now we act in the same way as with a regular bracelet, press the button to the end (located on the back of the watch) and move the bracelet to the side, then repeat this for the second part.

It is important to follow these 4 steps, with the obligatory disassembly. If opened when assembled, the strap may skew and break. This principle must be taken into account not only when removing, but also when installing a bracelet made of metal links.

Removing the Milanese Mesh Bracelet

The Milanese mesh bracelet was redesigned in 2018. It can now be removed completely by pulling the magnetic clasp through the strap connector or eyelet. On earlier models of the Milanese mesh bracelet, you cannot pull the clasp through the eyelet.

Close the butterfly clasp

If it is open, close each side in turn until it clicks.

Hold down the quick release button

The quick release buttons are located on the inside of the bracelet. You only need to hold down one button.

Pull the links gently in different directions

While doing this, keep the quick release button pressed. Before removing the strap from your Apple Watch, you need to split it in two.

How to remove or install a block bracelet on Apple Watch

Certain difficulties may arise when replacing a block bracelet. It can be removed by pulling out both fasteners in parallel, but in this case, the bracelet breaks, which, in turn, can damage the fastener. For safe replacement of the block bracelet, it must first be disconnected into two parts using the buttons on the inside near the clasp.

Please note that detaching the strap does not require much physical strength, as does twisting. To avoid damaging either the clasp or the bracelet itself, do the following:

1 Close the butterfly clasp by closing the sides until you hear a click.

2 Before removing the bracelet, separate it in two. To do this, find the quick release button on the inside of the bracelet, press and hold it.

3 Gently pull the links apart while holding the quick release button.

4 Now, after disconnecting the strap, it is very easy to remove it, press and hold the strap release button on the Apple Watch itself, slide part of the bracelet to the side. Repeat for the second part of the bracelet.

How to remove or replace the Milanese mesh bracelet

Since 2018, the design of the classic Milanese mesh Apple Watch bracelet has changed. The strap can now be removed completely by pulling the magnetic buckle through the eyelets or the strap connector. On previous models, the clasp could not be pulled through this narrow hole.

Leather strap for Apple Watch

Realizing that I will always have time to buy a strap in the nearest store, I decided to continue experimenting and ordered a leather magnetic version, which is almost never found now. I used it for about a month and overall everything was fine. Complaints were only about a weak magnet. He himself did not unfasten, but sometimes he seemed too weak and wanted more.

This strap looks nice, but it also has its drawbacks.

The last experiment of that time was carried out with a metal bracelet. It was not a copy of the original, but it looked good. They gave it to me and I enjoyed using it for a couple of years, sometimes changing to the original silicone or some other third-party options. If I knew now where he is, I would continue to use it, as it is very well preserved. My bracelet was made by HOCO, but they are made without the brand. As far as I have seen from friends and acquaintances, they are also worn very well.

This was the end of my experiments until nylon bracelets with Velcro went on sale.

Nylon Apple Watch Band

As soon as the nylon strap was shown, I immediately got the idea of buying it. Moreover, it was included in the cheapest category of bands from Apple and you could buy it without worrying about not liking it. Analogues appeared on AliExpress almost immediately, but I didn't want to experiment. I assumed that they would quickly crumple from the Velcro and would not hold well.

The first complaint about the new type of straps, of which I tried a lot, was that they did not bend well and because of this, in the place where they passed around the watch mount, they stuck out very much. I tried to press them between two heavy objects, but it did not change anything. After a while, they crumpled themselves and looked much more elegant.

Soft and comfortable nylon strap.

The main advantage of such straps for me personally was that they were soft in the place where the hand rests on the table or on the surface of the laptop case. I really did not like the grinding of metal elements on the case during work, and almost always I took off my watch before starting a lot of typing. This even applied to silicone straps. The pin that fixes them, with my position of the watch on my hand, just hits the surface of the case.

What are Apple Watch straps?

The range of original Apple Watch straps consists of silicone, nylon, leather and steel models. Let's take a closer look at each type:

Silicone straps. The convenient pin-and-tuck closure and wide color palette make the Apple Watch's Sport Band Silicone Sport Bands very popular. Owners of the sport-version of watches can buy bracelets of both classic (black, white, gray) and unusual colors – “pink flamingo”, “yellow pollen”, “purple dust” and others.
Leather straps. For lovers of classics, a black Classic Buckle genuine leather strap with a regular buckle will suit. You can also choose models that are more interesting in design – Leather Loop with a magnetic buckle and lock or Leather Modern Buckle with a stylish two-piece magnetic fastener. Both options are available in four colors.
Steel straps. There are two models in this stainless steel series. The first – Link Bracelet, with a butterfly clasp, consists of blocks, thanks to which the length of the bracelet is regulated. Available in silver and space black. The second model is a Milanese Loop mesh bracelet with a magnetic clasp.
Nylon straps. These models are more suitable for Apple Watch Sport than Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition. Stylish color combinations make this strap popular among young people.

In addition to these four styles, there are two separate luxury bracelet lines, which are developed by Apple in conjunction with Nike and the French fashion house Hermes.

Nikе bracelets are made with special perforations for people who go in for sports. Thanks to these holes, the hand does not sweat during active workouts.
Hermes' Apple Watch straps are a premium line of luxury accessories that consists of three leather bracelets (Manchette, Double Tour, Simple Tour) with the brand's signature engraving.

In addition to Nike and Hermes products, you can also buy bracelets from other brands. If the strap is marked “Made for Apple Watch”, it means that the manufacturer has special Apple certifications and meets the company's requirements.

How to choose the right Apple Watch band?

When choosing a new Apple Watch watch strap, pay attention to the following details:

Housing. Apple Watch case models are available in two types – 38 and 42 mm, so you need to keep this in mind when choosing a strap.

On a note! Leather Loop bracelets are only suitable for 42mm watches, while Modern Buckle is for 38mm watches.
The size. Apple Watch standard straps are available in three sizes: S (135-150mm), M (145-165mm) and L (160-180mm). To find the right option, you need to measure the girth of the wrist and check the size chart.
Material. It all depends on personal preference. Choose what you like best – practical silicone, stylish leather, bright nylon or status steel bracelets.
