Apple Watch - here's how you can use any strap

Apple Watch was thought by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), to be used only with its accessories, i.e. bracelets, belts and buckles specially designed for pins inserted in the magnetic fastening mechanism in the case. Despite this limitation, there is still the possibility of attaching any kind of strap to the Apple Watch, and in the video clip above you have explained the procedure by which you can do this quite quickly.

Everything is based on the purchase Apple Watch with a leather strap, and that's because in the case of this accessory, Apple uses a special fastening system for the casing of its smart watch. In the clip you will see this fastening system which is based on the attachment of the leather strap to a metal bar attached to the piece of metal that is inserted into the case.

This small metal bar is mounted on the fastening system with two pentalobular screws that you have to undo using a pentalobular screwdriver, after detachment any kind of third belt can be mounted. Whether we're talking about a leather strap or any other material, this method allows us to buy a strap from almost anywhere to use with the Apple Watch.

Considering that the clamping mechanism of Apple Watch it is quite wide, it is not absolutely necessary to buy a strap that has the width of the one offered by the Apple company, so you can use a strap from another watch. As you probably already imagine, Apple does not recommend this procedure and has no reason to do it, but despite this, you can follow it whenever you want, without any problem.

A lot of people didn't know exactly how to attach a strap to the Apple Watch, and that gave birth to a variety of systems for attaching different straps or buckles to the Apple Watch, but they are no longer necessary now. However, considering the way everything is thought by Apple, unfortunately it is unlikely that you can connect a metal bracelet to the Apple Watch.
