Q: Apple Watch Band too small. Will there be a XL size?

As I looked through the options for the Apple Watch I was really pumped to get one. This was until I saw Apples band size chart. Immediately I realized that the band sizes would never fit my wrist. It is frustrating to think that Apple has alienated a whole group of customers because they decided not to make a XL Apple Watch Band. I guess my question to Apple is will there be a XL Apple Watch Band?

 

Its frustrating to think that I may not be able to pre order my device because of small bands.

    The M/L and L/XL size Sport Band is currently available as an accessory, not as an optional configuration when buying Apple Watch.

     

    If you would prefer this to be offered, you can suggest it to Apple here:

    That's exactly my point. Most of us would pay the price. We just want to be able to wear it the way it was designed to be worn. On the wrist (3X or 3sm).

    Did you try one, or is all this based on a guess?

    I have tried all the bands on at launch time - they are too small.  I tried again yesterday in Sheffield when I saw the XL was available in the sport band.  Apple have just replied I can buy it as a £39 accessory.  You have to laugh at the audacity.  I own two iMac's, 2 MBP's, a Macbook, two iPads and two iPhones and have been an Apple user for ten years - its nonsense to promote Apple as Green and suggest we buy a watch that doesn't fit and then pay £39 for an extra strap plus £128 for a formal strap if you want this also.  This is a first generation short life product. 

     

    I can see we are not alone here - does Apple care - great products but arrogant.

    Jonathan - I assume you work for Apple? 

     

    Do you seriously think this is what a buyer of a premium product needs to do?

    That's the problem with assumptions

     

    They are usually wrong.

    You are correct of course.  My apologies. 

     

    Frustrated by Apple people telling me everything but how I can buy a Watch and strap that fits.  It seems like a basic question.  An Apple employee told me it was common sense to her but still not possible in the Apple world. 

     

    I will continue my watchless existence.........

    Clearly I am out of luck. Operational profitability, one size fits all.  I am 6'7" and I will no longer support companies that will not cater to my needs. I don't mind paying more for larger sizes like my current watch. 20 years ago I spent the few extra bucks to get the 4x mens band (10 1/4") thank you Eddie Bauer. I am putting Apple on my Operational profitability list below Walmart, Carhartt,  Harley (Made in China or India) Davidson. It is amazing how hard it has become to find products made for Americans made in the USA. There a few Companies around the Seattle area that haven’t sold out to Operational profitability (Made in China) and produce true to size products.
