I got my Series 8 on the 16th, and I think it's not a bad update from my Series 5.

However, the Series 5 came with both sized bands, but when I had to choose one or the other when I ordered my Series 8, I unfortunately chose wrong.

I ordered the M/L sized band, but I found out the S/M is the one I need.

Do you think Apple would exchange just the band for size without me exchanging the whole watch? I just got the basic 45mm Midnight color with the matching sport band. If I have to, I'll just buy the smaller band, but I was hoping Apple might just let me exchange the band without exchanging all of it. Has any had experience with anything similar?

Since it's Sunday, I will give Apple a call tomorrow, but figured I'd ask here to see if anyone might have an idea.

EDIT: Hmm...I haven't tried, but I have the 44mm Series 5, so you think the band would fit the 45mm Series 8? Reason I ask is because the aftermarket bands on bestbuy's website says they fit multiple sizes.

Yes. They will.
