If you’d like to see the Apple Watch in a cool new way, we have something to show you.
Apple created the below Apple Watch assembly drawing as part of its Made for Apple Watch program, which supports designers who are interested in creating third-party bands for the new wearable. It includes guidelines, notes and measurements of every part of the Watch, but mostly it’s just beautiful to behold.

Apple has a few hard rules for would-be strap crafters, including “Do not contact the watch cover glass” and “Do not apply force on the digital crown.”
It makes sense, really; you want to make sure your fancy new strap doesn’t, you know, break the hundreds of dollars of high technology you’re hoping to attach it to.
But even if you’re not looking to get your band together, this schematic remains a testament to Apple’s obsession with, and success at, creating elegant designs.
