Apple has introduced 2 new bands to their lineup of straps for the Apple Watch. The first one is simply called Link Bracelet Kit, containing 6 additional links to extend the Link Bracelet band to fit a 245mm wrist. Apple has stated that the Link Bracelet Kit comes with links just like a standard link band, so you won't require any special tools. This band will run you $49.

The second band is an additional L/XL Sport band size, also costing $49, which will also extend to 245mm wrists. Previously, the Sport band would only extend to just 210mm.
The Link Bracelet Kit only comes in Silver, not Space Gray. So for big-wrested fans of Space Gray, this will come as a disappointment. The L/XL Sport band only comes in White and Black, so for big-wrested color lovers, this could be a setback.

As 9to5Mac has stated, "Apple doesn’t appear to be offering the L/XL Sport band when first buying a Watch, meaning that you’ll either have to exchange the initial band you purchase or buy a L/XL after the fact for $49."
