As a jeweler, I’m all too aware of the all-too-often when it is needed to make ANY ring larger or smaller to properly fit the owner.
There are people, men AND women for whom I have resized rings TWICE a year, acomadate finger changes during hot or cold seasons. This is not to even mention ring sizing needed due to either weight gain or loss.
Sizing is done by cutting open the base of the shank and either WELDING in the needed addition or another cut to remove the extra.
I’m also a WATCHMAKER, and the two APPLE watches that have been brought in (rejected) have shown me the gap that Apple smarties have in their knowledge of just what human beings constantly do to that watch on their wrists.
Does this Apple ring have provisions for re-sizing????
I bet NOT!!
I bet you did not read the article before responding (which a lot of silly people seem to do):
Apple mentions any number of different materials can be used to construct a viable chassis, from precious metals like gold or platinum to stretchable material like silicone.
In some cases the body is segmented to allow for correct sizing.
One embodiment allows for an electrically controlled actuator to automatically latch down on a user's finger, adjusting circumference based on data from embedded sensors.
I am curious why anyone would bring an Apple Watch to a watchmaker for repair . . . especially as they would generally be within the warranty period now. What could a watchmaker do for anyone on an Apple Watch that would not be better done by taking it to an Apple Store or returning it to Apple for warranty servicing? The straps are easily replaced by the owners. It is not designed for a jeweler to repair. Please, elucidate.
