Does Apple have Watch bands that fit large wrists?
Unless your wrist size falls below 8.6”, Apple doesn’t have many suitable options to fit larger wrists. Most of their bands max at 220mm (about 8.7”). Your best options would be the Sports Band XL or Sports Loop XL which fit wrists up to 245mm (about 9.6”). But it only comes in the Midnight color and is compatible with case sizes 42-49mm of Apple Watch Series 3 and later models.
The Apple Watch Ocean Band Extension is also another great option with three colors to choose from. The band offers the extra length you want and can fit wrists up to 250mm (about 9.8”). But it is designed specifically for the Apple Watch Ultra model and compatible with case sizes ranging from 44-49 mm.
But don’t worry! You still have plenty of options outside of Apple’s watch straps. Eve Bands, for example, offers you a variety of quality options. Our collection features unique bands designed using high-quality materials to fit a wide range of wrist sizes.
Whether you’re looking for something sporty, classy, or dressy, you’ll find something that fits your style and wrists. Check out our collection here.
Which Apple Watch is the best for my large wrists?
Finding the perfect Apple Watch for your large wrists isn’t just about comfort and functionality. It’s also about style. The right Apple Watch size improves the overall aesthetic of the watch, aside from improving the functions of its sensors. Here are the key considerations to help you decide:
Every wrist is unique so this is an important first step to finding your perfect fit. Measure your wrists from the comfort of your home, using the detailed hassle-free guide here.
Large wrists typically start from 8” and above and look better with larger watch faces. The recommended Apple Watch case size for you, in that case, is between 42-45mm for the Apple Watch Series 1-9 and SE, and 49mm for the Apple Watch Ultra 1 and 2.
A watch band is usually manufactured for a collective group of wrist sizes. Once you know your exact wrist size, find the range you fall under, which on average is between 8-12” for larger sizes. At Eve Bands, we offer a wrist size guide for each watch band to make your work easier when selecting the right band.
The watch band you choose must be compatible with your Apple Watch model and case size for it to fit. Luckily, all our Apple Watch Bands at Eve Bands are designed to be compatible with the Apple Watch Series 1-9, SE, and Ultra. We also cover case sizes between 38-49mm. So you can rest easy knowing you’ve picked the right band when buying from us.
Unless you’re going for a custom fit, you will not find a band that fits perfectly. It may end up being too big or too small. So, select a band that will be easy to adjust. In this case, long bands are the best options for you because they offer room for adjustments, especially if the watch band is too small.
The design and the material of the watch band also matter. A band with multiple holes, for example, makes it easy to adjust and find your right fit. Similarly, it would be easier to punch more holes into silicone or leather material than woven nylon.
Your Apple Watch is more than a fitness tracker; it’s an accessory. Go for a band that complements your wrist and your personality. Wider watch band widths, for example, are perfect for large wrists.
As for the design, select a versatile Apple Watch band design that matches your taste but fits multiple occasions and complements your wardrobe. Eve Band offers a vast collection of wide bands made from high-quality leather, titanium, stainless steel, nylon, and more.

How do I increase the size of my Apple Watch band?
Increasing the length of an Apple Watch band mostly depends on the design and material of the band. For example, it’s difficult to alter a solo loop design. But since it is made of elastic material, it can easily stretch to accommodate your large wrists. The only problem may be that it could be too snug and get irritable especially when you sweat.
On the other hand, leather or silicone bands with multiple holes can be easily adjusted if you wear the band on the last hole. Alternatively, if there is room on the strap, you could punch more holes to give you more room for adjustments. Just be sure to use the right tools and be careful not to damage your band.
But our favorite Apple Watch bands, when it comes to increasing size, are the metal link bands. The band design allows you to add more links to increase the size. At Eve Bands, we offer a free adjusting kit with our metal link band designs to make it easier to find your perfect fit.
