Which band to choose when wrist size is > 220 millimeters

My wrist size is a bit more then 220 millimeters.

I'd like to buy the Watch 2 with nylon band. Do you think it will fit?


Any hints which band will fit?

3rd party options?

Hi


The Woven Nylon band for the 42mm Apple Watch fits 145–215mm wrists.


When purchased as a separate accessory, the white or black Sport Band is available with an L/XL configuration, which fits 160–245mm wrists.


Link Bracelet Kits are also available with six additional stainless steel links, which can be used to extend Link Bracelets for wrists that exceed 205mm.

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.
