Based on information from this link, you should not return the watch band. I’ve copied the pertinent part below.


Before you ship your Apple Watch


  1. Update your Apple Watch to the latest version of watch OS.
  2. Remove your Apple Watch from your Apple ID device list.
  3. Unpair and erase your Apple Watch. When you unpair, your iPhone will create a backup of your Apple Watch.
  4. Remove the band from your Apple Watch. If it is included in the box, it will be recycled and cannot be returned to you.
