Apple Won't Allow Swapping of Bands at Apple Watch 'Try-On' Appointments

The Apple Watch (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/) will be available for in store previews and Try-On appointments starting on April 10th. The Apple Watch comes in a variety of sizes, colors, and band-types which can make the decision of how to pick a band and Apple Watch combination (http://www.macrumors.com/how-to/apple-watch-band-sizing/) complicated.

 Apple has a number of recommended combinations highlighted on their online store (http://store.apple.com/us/watch), but also sells bands separately (http://store.apple.com/us/watch/bands), allowing customers to potentially mix and match between the various Apple Watches and bands. Some combinations could yield a mix of materials that readers feared (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1854629) may not look natural together, such as an aluminum Apple Watch Sport and a stainless steel accented band. The stainless steel Apple Watch is the most cosmetically versatile but carries a $200 premium over the aluminum Apple Watch Sport.
 
 Apple, however, will not allow customers to try arbitrary mix and match options during their Apple Watch Try-On appointments (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/03/09/apple-watch-reservations-platinum-model/), presumably in the interest of time and simplicity. According to retail training materials MacRumors received, Apple specifically states that they "will not size links or swap bands" at the Try-on table or Try-on cases. Try-on appointments for non-Edition Apple Watches (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/03/25/gold-apple-watch-30-minute-appointments/) are meant to last only 5-15 minutes. Apple will have 18 specific Apple Watch combinations on display at their Try-On tables and 10 specific combinations at their Try-On cases.
 
 Apple Watch pre-sales and try-on appointments start on April 10th, and the official launch of the Apple Watch is April 24th.
