Before laying it out on the chopping block, we'll try something non-destructive: removing the band.

If you're looking forward to swapping out bands, there's not much to it, physically. However, Apple would prefer that you only use bands from the same collection. No Link Bracelets on your Watch Sport, please.

The Sport Band is all plastic—or, more accurately, elastomer—with no metal watch band pins.

Assembled in China!
