    The Scrunchie Apple Watch band for the 38mm/40mm Apple Watch will best fit a wrist size between 155mm to 200mm.

    The Scrunchie Apple watch band for the 42mm/44mm Apple Watch will best fit a wrist size between 170mm to 210mm.

    Just in case you want that approximately in inches:

    The 38mm/40mm band fits wrist 6.5"-8.5" inches
    The 42mm/44mm band will fits 7"- 9" inches

    Both watch band sizes use standard Watch Connectors If you have a 38mm/40mm watch but need the longer band, you can buy a 42mm/44mm watch band and a 38mm/40mm adapter (and then switch the adapters yourself).

    HOW TO MEASURE YOUR WRIST SIZE

    Measure your wrist by using a cloth tape measure. Alternatively, wrap a string around your wrist and mark where the string meets itself. Then lay it flat next to a ruler and measure the end to your mark.

    IS THE BAND A LITTLE TIGHT?

    Due to the elastic lining, the band might feel a little tight when you first receive it. It should stretch to fit more comfortably over 1-3 days.

    HOW TO CLEAN YOUR APPLE WATCH SCRUNCHIE BAND

    All watch bands will get dirty over time. Dust, food, sweat, lotions and more can affect the look of your watch band. How often a band needs to be cleaned will depend on your situation, but we recommend cleaning as necessary but at least once every 2 weeks.

    For this watch band:

    • Wipe the fabric portions of the bands clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. You can use water (and soap suitable for fabrics) as needed.
    • Let the band air dry thoroughly. Do not try to accelerate the drying process with a hair dryer (or other means), as excessive heat may damage inner elastic.
    • If the band requires deeper cleaning, throw them all in the sink with warm water and a few drops of shampoo. Gently rub each accessory and then dry them on a towel.

    

    HOW TO CLEAN YOUR BRAIDED LOOP APPLE WATCH BANDS

    Braided Loop bands are composed of polyester yarn and this textured  makes it easy for dirt etc to get into the band.

    However unlike other nylon bands, this  material in particular is water-resistant. So its perfectly fine to soak then in water with any risk of damaging the band.

    We would recommend using a soft toothbrush and give then a gentle scrub. Then is is best to let them air-dry
