Secure fit and durable materials for the larger model
When wearing a watch with a 46mm screen, it’s especially important that the fastening mechanism is reliable. Our straps are designed with high-quality connectors that slide perfectly into the watch’s grooves and lock into place with a distinct click. You can trust that your watch is securely fastened, no matter how active your lifestyle is.
Create balance on your wrist
The larger 46mm model requires a strap that provides the right proportions. A slightly wider strap, whether in tightly woven nylon or polished metal, helps distribute the watch’s weight evenly across your wrist. This not only significantly increases comfort but also ensures that the sensors on the back of the watch maintain constant skin contact for accurate measurements of heart rate and oxygen levels.
Tailor the watch to your needs
- For intense workouts: If you use your Series 11 for running or swimming and want to maximise the sensors’ accuracy, then a flexible silicone strap with a textured interior is the best choice. It wicks away sweat and keeps the watch securely fastened to your wrist.
- For professional meetings: If you want your smartwatch to exude a traditional watchmaker’s feel in the office, we recommend our robust stainless steel links or sophisticated leather options.
- For round-the-clock comfort and sleep: If you wear your 46mm watch at night for sleep tracking, our seamless and elastic textile straps are ideal. They mould gently to your wrist without the buckle pressing against your skin.
Easy replacement and maintenance
By ordering a few different straps online, you can easily transform your watch from a fitness tool into a stylish accessory in seconds. Don’t forget to complement your purchase with a full-coverage screen protector to shield the large display from the rigours of everyday life. To maximise the lifespan of your straps, we recommend rinsing silicone and fabric materials with lukewarm water after a workout, whilst metal and leather details are best wiped clean with a soft microfibre cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my old straps fit the Apple Watch Series 11 46mm?
Yes. The 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 uses the same attachment mechanism as Apple’s previous ‘large’ watch models. This means you can reuse straps originally purchased for the 44mm, 45mm, 49mm (Ultra) and older generations of the 42mm (Series 1–3).
Which material is best for the larger 46mm case?
If you have slender wrists but still prefer the large 46mm screen, we recommend flexible fabric straps with Velcro-style fastenings. These allow for millimetre-precise adjustment, preventing the slightly wider watch from sliding around on your wrist.
How do I change the watch strap safely?
Turn the watch so that the back is facing upwards. Press and hold the small release button right next to the strap attachment. Slide the current strap to the side to remove it, then slide the new strap into the slot until it clicks into place.
Are all watch straps water-resistant and suitable for swimming?
No, it depends on the material. If you plan to swim with your Series 11, you should use straps made from silicone, fluoroelastomer or selected quick-drying nylon fabrics. Metal and leather straps should be kept away from water to avoid discolouration and wear.
Are the metal links heavy to wear on a daily basis?
Our metal straps are designed to provide a luxurious weight without becoming uncomfortable. They create a good counterbalance to the large 46mm case, which many find very well-balanced and comfortable during the working day. All link straps can be easily adjusted in length using the tool provided.
