【Horned Japanese Female College Student: Pleasure Share House】

Whether you're cleaning your Apple Watch band or Horned Japanese Female College Student: Pleasure Share Houseupgrading to a new one, removing the band from the watch is a simple process that should only take a few seconds.

Regardless of the series of Apple Watch you have, the process for removing the band is the same. Note, according to Apple, that "bands for 38mm and 40mm cases are compatible with each other, and bands for 42mm and 44mm cases are compatible with each other." The sizes for your Apple Watch case and bands can be found on the back of your bands, but be warned: The text is really small.

Step 3: Slide the band out in either direction

While you are holding the lock button down, slide the band in either direction. It should slide pretty easily, but occasionally the band does not release immediately. If this happens, Apple suggests pressing down on the lock button again and ensure that you're holding it down firmly.

Step 4: Replace your band by sliding the band back through the channel

Once the band is released, you can now clean it or replace it with another band. The text on the band — which denotes the size of the case on the top band and the size of the band on the bottom band — should face toward you as you slide it back into the watch. You should hear a click and feel the band lock into place.

Pro tip: Whenever I remove my band from my Apple Watch, I like to clean my watch with a little bit of rubbing alcohol or mild soap and a cotton swab.
