Q: is the classic buckle suited for apple watch sport edition

I want to shop another buckle instead of the sport band which makes my watch drop and crack.

Is the classic buckle able to apply to the sport edition?

Besides, is there any good choice for the watch protector?

Apple Watch Sport 42mm, iOS 9.1, null

    Hi Fred

     

    Yes - any 42mm Apple Watch band will fit your watch.

     

    Non-Sport bands have different sizes / lengths, so check your wrist circumference and refer to the Apple Watch Sizing Guide (which compares all Apple bands) before buying separate bands:

    The Apple Watch Sport also has an anodized aluminum case, whereas non-Sport bands have different metals in their adapters and/or links (this does not affect their compatibility, just their appearance).

    You may find it helpful to read reviews on popular online shopping sites before deciding on a protector.

     

    Be aware that some screen protectors cover only the flat part of the display, whereas some thin film-type protectors cover the full screen of Apple Watch (ie including around the edges).

     

    Commonly reported problems with snap-on type protectors include that they may, for example: fall off relatively easily, reduce touch sensitivity, scratch quite easily, trap moisture and/or trap small items of debris (which can then cause scratches on the watch case and/or display).
