Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Neutral colors like black, navy, and gray are classic and versatile. For a rugged edge, opt for olive, khaki, or camo. Choose colors that match your wardrobe and reflect your personal style.
Check the case size on the back of your Apple Watch (e.g., 41mm, 45mm). Then select a band that matches the case width—typically 20mm for 38–41mm and 22mm for 42–49mm.
Most men prefer 44mm or 45mm Apple Watch cases for a balanced look on the wrist. Consider wrist size and your personal comfort—larger cases provide more screen space, while smaller ones offer subtle styling.
