Is there any way of wearing the watch other than round the wrist?

Hi

Apple Watch is designed to be worn on the top of your wrist and Apple does not offer any other products than wrist bands for wearing it.

If you would like to submit a feature request to Apple for other wear options to be supported, then you can do so here:

(You are not talking to Apple here - this is a user-based technical support community).

Whilst you may find alternative products available to buy elsewhere than from Apple, keep in mind that using them would be at your own risk.

Apple recommends using only Apple-branded or Apple authorised bands with Apple Watch and advises that third-party products:

• 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.
• 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 functionality such as the Wrist Detection feature.

In the context of potentially using Apple Watch within healthcare facilities, also keep in mind Apple's Important safety information, including in respect of radio frequency interference and medical device interference:
