For Apple Watch Series 4 and 5, Apple increased the size of the display of both the larger and smaller watch sizes from 42mm and 38mm, respectively, to 44mm and 40mm. Additionally, for Apple Watch Series 7 and beyond, Apple increased the size of the display of both the larger and smaller watch sizes from 44mm and 40mm, respectively, to 45mm and 41mm. For Apple Watch Series 10, Apple increased the size display of both the larger and smaller watch sizes from 45mm and 41mm, respectively, to 46mm and 42mm. Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2 both have 49mm displays.
Although the overall display of the newer Apple Watches is larger, the area where the band attaches to the watch remains the same as the previous series for consistency in band compatibility. The sizes on our website now show '46mm/49mm' (which fit a 49mm, 46mm, 45mm, 44mm, or 42mm Apple Watch) and '41mm/42mm' (which fit a 42mm, 41mm, 40mm, or 38mm Apple Watch).

Installation Tips
Attempting to install your Nomad band on Apple Watch Ultra? Be sure to press down on the center lug latch as you slowly slide the band into the watch channel. Check out this installation video.
Following these steps will ensure Ultra's sharp edges don't damage your band's lug latches. Note, even if the lug latch is slightly scratched from your first installation attempt, it should still lock securely into your Apple Watch.

More questions? Check out these FAQs.
- Is Traditional Band waterproof? Traditional Band is made of Horween leather and should not be exposed to any form of moisture. Moisture will cause bubbling and other damage.
- Will Traditional Band scratch? Our leather is naturally and minimally treated and will therefore easily scuff and mark within the first weeks days of use. With time, scuffs and marks will buff out into a rich and lustrous patina. If you’re after an authentic leather patina that evolves with time, this is absolutely the band for you.
