How to change the apple watch band without touching the screen

Is there an easy way to change the watch band without touching the screen? I keep touching the screen where I unintentionally touch the screen and enter numbers which triggers the wrong password... I tried pushing the button with the screen facing up which is difficult to do.


Any ideas?

Hi Teru63,


In your situation, it may be easiest to just turn the Apple Watch off before attempting to change bands. Restart Apple Watch - Apple Support


"Restart Apple Watch

  • Turn off your Apple Watch: Press and hold the side button until the sliders appear, tap the Power Button, then drag the Power Off slider to the right.
  • Turn on your Apple Watch: Hold down the side button until the Apple logo appears."


Cheers.
