Apple unveiled three new smartwatches at its Far Out event yesterday - the new Watch SE, Watch Series 8, and Watch Ultra. Alongside these, Apple also announced new straps for the Ultra model - Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Ocean Band.
With a case size of 49mm, the Apple Watch
Ultra is the biggest smartwatch yet from the Cupertino-based tech giant. But
that doesn't mean the three bands mentioned above can't be used with some older
Apple Watches since Apple says they are also compatible with Apple Watches of
44mm and 45mm case sizes. Since there's no mention of smaller case sizes, it's
safe to assume the 49mm bands for the Watch Ultra aren't compatible with them.
That said, if you have a 45mm band meant
for the non-Ultra model, you can use it with the Apple Watch Ultra since Apple
says the 45mm straps work with 42mm, 44mm, and 49mm cases.
The Apple Watch Ultra and its straps are already available for purchase through Apple's website.
