42mm band on 44?

If I were to buy a 42mm band for my 44mm Apple Watch, would it matter?

I understand they’re compatible, but is there an actual difference between the two (like fit or actual strap size)?

they are the same. just a new label

Except for the sport loops. They’re slightly different. The plastic connectors are slight bigger on the 44. They’re more rounded I guess you could say. This means that when using a 42 band on a 44 watch, the connector won’t quite go to the edge of the watch case. This is minor and the band itself conceals it for the most part.

What about using a newer 44mm on a 42mm watch - would that work?

It does. I used a 44mm band on my 42mm S3 for a bit and it was the same.
