Apple Watch band too small

I asked the Apple chat people if the Tim Cook Genius Division was working on a solution that will allow those of us that don't fit Apple's idea of who should buy and wear their Apple Watch, a way to wear the watch rather than put it in our pocket with our iPhone. They told me that there are no plans at this time to customize the Watch. I explained that I don't want to customize it I would just like to be able to wear it as it is marketed, on my wrist. They told me that in essence that would be customizing it. I am hoping that someone will realize that it would be very easy to make a Milanese Loop band longer or any of the bands for that matter. Why frustrate their public and lose sales. It doesn't make sense. I guess we can duct tape them on our wrist until young enthusiastic entrepreneurs start marketing bands that fit us. Now that will be customizing.

I visited the Apple Store today for my 15 minute try-on session. Was very disappointed that every single band that I tried on did not fit. I could not get my hand through the Milanese loop, the Black Leather band was too small by two holes and the Black magnetic link band actually fit but as soon as I started to bend my wrist, the band got looser and looser and then would just open and fall off. Under normal all-day wear, I would surely loose the watch with this band because it does not loop around enough for my wrist.
What a shame that they are not making bands for people with larger wrists bones, fat wrists, skinny wrists, whatever! They should accommodate all size people even if they only have those specialized sizes in very limited quantities. If I have to wait 2-3 months for it, so be it! at least I can still get one.

Apple Watch Band too small. Will there be a XL size?

As I looked through the options for the Apple Watch I was really pumped to get one. This was until I saw Apples band size chart. Immediately I realized that the band sizes would never fit my wrist. It is frustrating to think that Apple has alienated a whole group of customers because they decided not to make a XL Apple Watch Band. I guess my question to Apple is will there be a XL Apple Watch Band?
Its frustrating to think that I may not be able to pre order my device because of small bands.

I have read several comments like this - even mentioned it when I went to the Apple Store for my try-on. (BTW my wrist problem was that mine is around 170mm, which is at one end of the Leather Loop and the other end of the other size - glad I did not pre-order the larger band like I planned.) Anyway, the two people I spoke to said that (1) yes they have heard many comments/complaints about no larger sizes and (2) they have not heard of any plans by Apple at this point in manufacturing larger bands. However, they did say that there will be bands coming out by third party manufacturers and then (and I) would be very surprised if no one made an effort to fill this market if Apple does not decide to.

Apple watch bands

I see the different Apple watch bands can be purchased seperatly. Can these bands be used with the sport watch or can only the sport bands be used with the sport watch? Also, will the watches be available at other retail stores like the phones? Thanks!

The sport watch comes with 2 different sized bands. So we know that they are replaceable. The dimensions look the same between the two, the regular watch being heavier with the stainless steel. Just wondering if the standard bands will fit the sport watch. I really don't want to buy the more expensive watch to get the band I want.

Apple Watch band is too short for me

I've checked out size of band for Apple Watch and all of these model are too short for me. Even Classic Buckle that is the longest type of band in all family is still not fit. My wrist size is 230mm. Feel so sad...... Hope Apple will made longer band size in the next gen.

Let me try this again. (This is for a stainless 38).
I saw the specs on the band. I tried to use a tape measure to determine if it would fit, and I should have had help as that is hard to do alone. But is seemed alright, and I ordered the watch.
I am a watch junkie. I have never had a problem like this. You come to expect a certain "standard" when you buy a watch, and ALL of my watches have a longer
strap, and I guess (Shame on me) I assumed so would the Apple Watch.
The band fits, so to speak, but the part that is left after you pass it though the buckle, is not long enough, and the band keeper-loop thingey does not have enough band to keep it in place. Therefore you are constantly having to slide the loop back over it to keep it in place.
I could send it back, but you might imagine how I feel about that. I made sure I got mine on the 24th because I stayed up and ordered it right after midnight on the 10th. I really wanted the watch.

Yosemite Apple Mail prints too small

After Yosemite upgrade the body of text in Apple Mail messages prints extremely small. 2 Printers tested - HP Laserjet 5100tn and a Konica Minolta 5500 with a Fiery controller. Printing to a PDF file first is OK.
This only seems to occur when I print messages that I've sent or when I print a message where someone has replied to a message that I sent previously. Only the body of the messages that I sent prints too small. The From, Subject, Date, To, My signature, and anything from messages that have been sent to me from someone else are all OK. In messages that were replies to me from messages that I sent to others, everything is OK except the body of the message that I originally sent to that individual.

I have had this issue as well and have not really been able to resolve it. Yosemite Mail app doesn't seem to have the option that previous OS did where you could choose "Scale Message to Fit," "Rewrap Message to Fit," etc.
Am I missing something here or did they disable this option? I know I can change font or increase font size in preferences, but I don't really need to increase font size for display, only for printing, which seems to be very tiny no matter what I try to do.

Can you use any Apple watch band on any Apple watch as long as the face size in the same?

I was told you can only use the Sport bands on the Sport watches but that the Apple Watch and Apple Edition can take any band, is there any truth in this?

If you go to the Watch site (on the menu bar above) and look at the different models you see that some models use a more integrated method of band attachment. Others use a bar for attachement that allows more flexibility in band use.

Apple Watch Bands, information and pre-orders

Will it be possible to get the silver aluminum apple watch with a black sport band? And what time in which time zone will the Apple Watch pre-orders open? And how much storage will the apple watch have?

We have no more information than you do on the Watch. We are users just like you, so only have the same public info that is available to everyone at this point.
Sorry,

Apple watch band option

I want a space gray apple watch (not the sport) with the black sport band. is there a way to pick the color of you watch with the band you want?

Not yet. They aren't out and Apple hasn't started taking orders. Then you will find out. We don't know.

Apple Watch bands interchangeable

Sorry...I saw a note to put Apple Watch questions in the iPhone board, so I am.
I'm planning on buying the Apple Watch Sport. Are all the bands interchangeable or just the Watch Sport bands? I'm looking to get one of the leather bands but prefer space gray over stainless steel.

Apple start page too small

When I open safari to get on the internet suddenly my apple start up page that safari first opens is only a square size on the scree instead if the usual full widescreen display. Hitting the green +open button in upper left corner doesn't open it up. Every internet page is displayed this way. How do I fill up the whole screen?

Hi Chris,
Mary is right. Once you drag the bottom right corner to the size you want and leave it there, the next time you open Safari, that is the size it will be.
You can put this in your Safari menu bar if you like too...
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
Then just go into your menu edit area and name what you like.
Good Luck
Adam

Mail Preview default font too small

Recently upgraded to Maverick and the preview font size for Apple Mail is too small. Can change this for individual mail using apple-+, however this doesn't set the default. Is there a preference to change the font or terminal command?

You can change fonts and font sizes in Mail by going to Mail Preferences > Viewing and checking the box, 'Use classic layout' at the top of the pane, then going to Preferences > Fonts & Colors to change your fonts and/or font sizes.
You cannot change the message list font if you do not use the 'classic layout.'

I don't have a question so much as a comment for APPLE. I am a new iPhone 5s user and it has many things I like but It is too small and I can only talk on the phone and use the internet if i am in a position to use a wifi connection and that is not good

I am a new iPhone 5s user. I like many of the features it offers. I don't like that I cannot talk and use the internet (if I am away from WI-FI) and this phone is too small. I am actually thinking of returning it and going back to an Android. After all the hassle it took to get all my stuff working on this phone , it may be worth the switch. This phone needs to be able to multitask freely in this day and age. Also Safari is not the best search engine but I could work with it if I could talk and use it at the same time. I use my phone for business and this is a feature that is needed in my line of work.

I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
Best of luck.

What is the difference between the sports edition apple watch and the normal edition, is it the bands different or do the they have different apps. Also could you take the bands off and put new ones on(change the bands)?

Apple Mail Too Small to Read

I read all my mail through the preview window and each message has a different font size, most too small for me to read. The preference font size doesn't seem to work (Isn't that only for outgoing mail anyway?)
Is there anyway to make all the fonts i read the same size without enlarging the text on each message?

Try this from the very helpful Left Lane blog - it worked for me! http://www.leftlanedesigns.com/blog/fonts-too-small-in-apple-mail/

How can I buy apple watch for the space black stainless steel case and the black sport band for one order?

How can I buy apple watch for the space black stainless steel case and the black sport band for one order?

Unfortunately no. I asked the same question when I went to the local Apple Store for my "try on" and as of now you would have to order the watch with the metal link band and the black sports band separately.
