I just received my bracelet key. Anyone else think it’s too small? I adjusted it to the largest setting and it is still too tight. By no means do I have a large wrist.

It's safe to punch a hole through the band. It doesn't get a lot bigger, but enough. I positioned the hole so the end of the band still snugs under the loop. They really need to make one an inch longer. (that's what she said.)

No, my manly wrists fit just fine with three extra holes to get fatter.

It’s been a common complaint since they started shipping earlier this month, but mine fits just fine with a couple of holes to spare.

I would just make a new hole at a size that fits if I were you.

This isn't the best design out there. Most Apple Watches come with a similar pin-poking outward approach like this. When I first got my Apple Watch, it wasn't uncommon for the pin to slip out and the band to come loose.

i was the same - I wore it without taking it off for 2 weeks and it stretched apparently. I can use second- sometimes third - hole now. I showered, golfed, went swimming, etc with it. Not sure it is designed to stretch but mine did.

personally the band is pointless with my phone key. the only real use for me so far is on the rare occasion I look the phone in car, I have to stop and lock the vehicle with the band and unlock with it. Have yet to leave phone at home or not have phone on me otherwise.

besides, in AZ I typically have wanted to pre cool the truck before I get in (parked at country club)

I got mine yesterday and it just fits. My idea, though, is to cut the sensor out where the Rivian branding is and attach it directly to my watch band. In that way I would not need to wear an additional band and I would not need to carry the fob.

I wonder if there's more than one size of band.
The one I received with the R1T is 10 inches.
