Apple Now Selling 'Made for Apple Watch' Lugs for Third-Party BandsApple has begun selling
official Apple Watch lugs through authorized distributor Avnet that may only be used in third-party bands that adhere to the company's
Band Design Guidelines for Apple Watch. Apple-designed stainless steel lugs are each marked with "Made for Apple Watch" laser etching to verify their authenticity.
The stainless steel lugs are available in 38mm and 42mm sizes and are compatible with all Apple Watch, Apple Watch Sport and Apple Watch Edition models. However, at the time of publication, Space Gray, Space Black, Yellow Gold and Rose Gold lugs are not listed for sale.
