Re: Apple Watch 10 strap sizes question?

[Chris Chaffin]

If you have a piece of string or even a shoe lace, you could use it to measure around your wrist, as long as you have a measuring tape to measure its length afterwards.  For sighted assistance, do not forget that you could call a volunteer with Be My eyes. I have use Be My Eyes for that before.  One time I needed to measure something, so after measuring it with a tape measure, I used a volunteer to tell me the measurement on the tape measure. As far as learning what the sizes 1 to 12 stand for, I would call Apple accessibility and tell them what your doing and you just need to know what those numbers stand for as far as sizes.  Hope this helps.

Unfortunately sighted help is not something I have readily available to me at the moment.  As you may remember I live with my elderly mother debilitated by two strokes.  I have therefore had to become domesticated rather quickly and with a combination of triumph and error. From what I can see Apple describes its new strap with sizes one to twelve but with no guidelines what these sizes mean.  I’m not even sure whether one is the smallest and twelve the largest or the other way round. Fortunately I read that  41 mm and 45 mm bands: These older bands will fit the new 42 mm and 46 mm cases.  So my old band should fit.

Then, if you measure in inches, you will need to convert to centimeters.  25.4 centimeters per inch. Apple used to have a pdf you could download  and print out, then wrap it around your wrist to get the measurement. And, I gather the bands match the size of the watch so you need to know what size the watch is, of course. I understand the series 10 have a new connection system so old bands won't work.

Unfortunately neither option is open to me.  Normally Apple are quite clear about this sort of thing but not in this case.

You would, however, need sighted help since there are a few requirements: First, you have to print the page at 100% scaling and there is a way to check after the page printed if the size is correct. There is a box on the page and if you put a credit card in that box and it's an exact fit, then it's printed correctly. Second, you have to cut out the tool or template and then wrap it arund your wrist and there will be an arrow pointing at a line which indicates your exact size. Of course if you have an Apple Store nearby you could simply go there as I am sure they have something similar to determine your strap size. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Malcolm Parfitt Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2024 9:42 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: watchosblindusersgr...@groups.io Subject: Apple Watch 10 strap sizes question? Hello, Looking at the Apple Store App and the section for ordering the new Apple Watch 10 I see that some straps are listed with sizes one to twelve.  I can see no reference as to what these sizes actually mean.  So is one to twelve smallest to largest for instance?
