1. **Turn off Apple Watch** (optional but recommended).
2. **Place Apple Watch on a clean, soft surface** to avoid scratches.
3. **Turn Apple Watch over** so that the back with the sensors is facing up.
4. **Press and hold one of the two small buttons** located directly above and below the band on the back of the watch.
5. **Slide the bracelet to the side** while holding down the button. The bracelet should slide out easily to the side.
6. **Repeat the process for the other end of the bracelet.**
When choosing a new bracelet, pay attention to the following points:
- **Apple Watch Size:** The Apple Watch SE comes in two case sizes, 40mm and 44mm (1st generation) or 41mm and 45mm (2nd generation). Make sure the new strap fits your case size.
- **Compatibility:** Check whether the bracelet is specifically suitable for the Apple Watch. Many third-party manufacturers offer compatible wristbands, but it is important that they have the correct fit and locking mechanism.
"With these tips, you will surely find an Apple Watch SE band that matches your watch well."
