The Monowear Silver Ceramic Apple Watch Strap: Unexpected Femininity

This Monowear band has a deployment clasp, which makes the band look like it is a long continuous series of links, without spoiling the band’s lines with an ugly clasp. The clasp is curved to follow the inside of your wrist, so the band is ultimately very comfortable when worn.

I received a band for the 42mm Apple Watch. As it comes out of the box, the stainless and ceramic band is quite long, which means that once the 42mm Apple Watch is installed it will fit a wrist of up to 7.5″ or 8″. My wrist is a little smaller than 6″, so it was obvious right away that I would need to do a bit of surgery — on the band, not my wrist! 😉

Sure, I could have taken the band with my watch attached to any jeweler for adjustment, but with a single high-tech tool found in just about everyone’s desk drawer (a small paperclip), I was able to remove two links on each side to get a perfect fit. The good news is that ALL of the links are removable, so even if you have the most petite wrist you can still get a perfect, custom fit.

And as you can see here, the Monowear Silver Ceramic watch strap now fits perfectly, and it looks amazing.
