Maximise your Series 7 (45mm) experience
The larger 45mm case on the Series 7 offers a fantastic display experience, but it also requires a strap that balances the watch’s proportions securely on your wrist. We focus on durable and skin-friendly materials that keep your device securely in place all day long. Want to explore options for the whole family’s devices?

Materials and fit
A larger smartwatch requires optimal skin contact for heart rate and oxygen saturation to be recorded accurately.
- If you wear the watch at night to monitor your sleep, choose a soft and stretchy nylon strap. The flexible design minimises pressure points from the larger case and adapts as your wrist swells slightly overnight.
- If you have sensitive skin, we recommend a hypoallergenic silicone strap. It creates friction to keep the 45mm watch secure without irritating the skin during prolonged use.
Activity and lifestyle
Your choice of strap should be dictated by your daily schedule.
- If your routine includes intense training or outdoor running, a breathable sports strap in silicone or woven nylon provides excellent airflow and wicks away moisture in a flash.
- If you need a stylish transition between the office and evening activities, a classic metal link or a high-quality leather strap offers an instant upgrade, whilst the robust construction balances the watch’s size.
Frequently asked questions about straps for the Series 7 (45mm)
Do other sizes fit my 45mm Series 7?
Yes! The attachment mechanism for Apple’s larger cases is backwards and forwards compatible. This means that straps marked for 42mm, 44mm and 49mm fit perfectly into the slots on your 45mm Series 7.
How do I change the strap on my watch?
It’s simple and requires no tools. Press and hold the elongated release button on the back of your Series 7, just below the clasp. Slide your old strap sideways to remove it, then slide your new strap into place until you hear and feel a distinct click.
How do I keep my watch strap clean from sweat?
If you’re using a water-resistant silicone strap, simply rinse it with lukewarm water and wipe it dry with a lint-free cloth after your workout. For fabric and nylon straps, gentle hand washing is recommended. Always allow the material to air dry completely before putting your watch back on to avoid moisture trapped against your skin.
