My SO got one today. He's 5'9, 164, and he had to use the smaller band. Holy shit, people are so much fatter than I ever imagined.

I love some of the comments:
I too have called, chatted, emailed and went in person to an Apple store with your same question. Most of my friends have large wrists and it is hard to believe that someone did not think of this problem in advance. This is Apple after all. Many of the bands, like the milanese loop that I like, are simple to have made a little longer. There is no buckle or clip that would need to be moved or installed. The chat-line person told me there are no plans to customize the Watch. I don't want to customize it I would just like to be able to wear it as designed and not have to carry it in my pocket with my cellphone.
Birds of a feather!

Hope Apple sticks to its guns on this one. Eight-inch-plus hooves and the porkers can't see treating their bodies like landfills is the problem JFC.

Fuckers should be used to needing a belt extension

I have same issue, my wrist is 237mm (9-3/8") so I'd need at minimum 10" band.
Holy fuck. Popeye?

It's not an exercise tool to a lard-ass, it's a fashion statement. A ridiculous, sink-in-the-fat-of-your-wrist fashion statement. Something to brag to their other fatty friends about and REEward themselves with some starbeetus. "I walked over 100 steps today! Hooray for me and muh curves! I deserve a Starbucks! HAES!"

I see someone else is familiar with the phenomenon of FitBit virtue-signaling.

I'm glad I have a cell phone because the only way I can comfortably wear watches is much further up the arm than you're "supposed" to--the average watch head is wide enough to restrict wrist movement. Tell me more about how watches are designed for thin privilege.

These fucktards are the reason why bracelets keep getting bigger. I cannot buy a bracelet without it being way too big and falling of my hand. Even the adjustable ones on their smallest sizes are too damn big.
