Will the Apple 46mm Burgundy Plaid Sport Loop work with the Apple Watch Series 9 (45mm)?
Yes. Both use Apple Watch band, large group (44/45/46/49mm).
Both records are reviewed against the manufacturers' sources; sources last checked 2026-10-14. Informational only: confirm with the manufacturer before buying.
Why
- ✓ Both use Apple Watch band, large group (44/45/46/49mm).
Good to know
- GOTCHA: the Series 10 and later 42mm case is NOT in this group; it takes small-group bands.
- Apple: bands for 46mm cases fit 44/45/46mm; 49mm (Ultra) bands fit 44/45/46mm, and 44/45/46mm bands fit 49mm.
- Apple: Solo Loop / Braided Solo Loop wearers may need a smaller size on Apple Watch Ultra because of its larger case.
