Hi


Apple advises that third-party bands:


  • May not fit properly;
  • May contain materials that cause skin sensitivities or other health concerns;

    Every material in Apple bands that touches the skin has been extensively evaluated in accordance with Apple's specifications.

  • May interfere with the Wrist Detection feature;
  • May damage Apple Watch:
    • Unauthorised third-party bands may have components that do not meet Apple's design specifications.
    • Such bands may, for example, become jammed in the watch (an example of this has been posted here previously), release too easily, fail to resist slide-out force, corrode easily or exhibit other issues.


For the best performance and results, use only Apple branded or Apple authorised bands.
