Q: Hi I have a new Apple Watch - sport band. Is it possible to purchase bands separately that can be used with the watch?
Hi I received a new Apple Watch as a gift at Christmas - sport band, white, 42 mm. 7000 series. Since this is my first Apple Watch, I am wondering if I should check out all options at the store before opening the box. Is it possible to purchase bands separately that can be used with the watch? Thanks, in advance, for any advice, guidance, wisdom you can offer.
Apple Watch, iOS 9.2

Hi Kate
Yes - any 42mm Apple Watch band will fit your Apple Watch.
Non-Sport bands have different lengths, so check your wrist circumference and refer to the Apple Watch Sizing Guide (which compares all Apple bands) before buying separate bands:

Trying them on at an Apple Retail Store is also a great option.
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 compatibility, only appearance).
