Questions

Frequently asked questions

  • Does Smartlet work with all Rolex Submariner references?
    Yes. Current Submariner references use a 21 mm lug width and earlier ones 20 mm, both supported by Smartlet One. Check your exact reference in the Smartlet lug width finder.
  • Will the Apple Watch sensors work underneath the wrist?
    The sensors face the skin underneath the wrist, and the bracelet is sized by its links so the Apple Watch sits snug. For an ECG a doctor asked for, put the Apple Watch back on its own band.
  • Can I remove the Apple Watch and wear my Submariner alone?
    Yes. The Clasp accessory closes the bracelet in place of the Apple Watch, so the Submariner can be worn alone on the Smartlet. You can also put the original Oyster bracelet back at any time.
  • Does Smartlet damage or modify my mechanical watch?
    No. The watch adapters seat in your watch's lug holes in place of the spring bars. Nothing is modified on the case, lugs or dial, and the change is fully reversible: your mechanical watch can go back on its original strap at any time.
