does previous generations 44 MM band fit the AW series 7 45mm watch ?

[MyPhone99]

I have lot of bands for my AW 44m series 3 , planning to upgrade to AW7 45mm so please confirm if i can re-use those old bands with AW S7 45mm

 

[schlupps]

Yes. 44mm Bands will fit the 45mm S7

 

[chanerz]

Yes

 

[MyPhone99]

How about the 42 MM bands of series 1? will they fit the 45mm AW 7 ?

 

[Cotypubby]

Yes. 42/44/45 are compatible and 38/40/41 are compatible.

Normal bands will fit the same.

My braided seems a bit looser. Solo loops might be similar.

Guess the AW is going to be a master piece, they don't have any plan to change its design.

That might be down to your specific S7 rather than the band. I have several bands that are tight on one watch and slightly looser on one of the others.

Well, I went from 44mm watch to 45mm watch. The 45mm is slightly bigger, right?

So that would make bands looser.

Not really. The connection point remains the same.

I have a S5 Ceramic (which is actually larger than the other S5/6 cases and the same dimensions as the slightly larger S7) and two S6’s. Some bands are tight on the S5 and lose on one of the S6’s but not the other. One of my Nike bands on the pin side practically wobbles back and forth but only on one S6.

Interesting. I knew the different materials had different weights, but figured they had standard dimensions.

Either way, I have my S7 and S6 next to each other, and where the bands connect is clearly farther apart on the S7 making the same size band looser.

Yeah the ceramic is a little thicker than the rest.

What part of further apart on the S7? Do you have a photo side-by-side with the S6, it would be interesting to see. The assumption is it’s where the little buttons/pins lock in place that causes any looseness.

Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't saying that the slot the bands fit in is loose. I think that's been relatively standard for all watches. I mean when looking at the watch from the side, the space between the left & right slot is longer on the S7 than the S6 because the watch is bigger. 1-2mm? It's not much, but something like the braided or solo loop that isn't adjustable will now be that much "longer" on your wrist.

Aaaaaaaaah!! Yes now I see what you mean. And you’re right 100%, it’s the same with Ceramic. Bands have slightly looser fit. We’re on the same page now 😁👌
