Apple Watch Bands for Kids

I have an 8 year old with very very small wrists. I gave her my apple watch when I purchased the new ones. I had the 42mm Stainless steel watch.


Where can I get a watch band that will fit her? UGH! So frustrating.


We even tried putting a hole in the band but it just started to tear past the cut hole spacing.


Suggestions.

For the best performance and results, Apple advises that you should use only Apple branded or Apple authorised bands. 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.
