mrsbecmiller - 12 days ago

Q: Can you provide measurements for the difference in band/wrist sizes for the S/M vs the M/L? Couldn’t find them in the specs.

ErBear - 13 days ago

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Apple Watch Series 12. If the Apple Watch Series 12 you're looking at includes Apple's standard Sport Band, the wrist-size ranges are typically: S/M band: fits wrists about 130 to 180 mm (5.1 to 7.1 in.) M/L band: fits wrists about 150 to 200 mm (5.9 to 7.9 in.) This means there's an overlap of roughly 150 to 180 mm, where either size may fit depending on whether you prefer a snugger or looser fit. For Series 12 case sizes, Apple's published wrist-fit ranges are approximately: 42 mm case: 130 to 200 mm wrists 46 mm case: 140 to 245 mm wrists The included band size (S/M vs. M/L) affects how much adjustment range you get within those limits. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.
