Gifts for someone with an Apple Watch Series 12 42 mm (Apple Watch Series 12 42mm case)
- Case size 42 mm
- Band fitting Apple 42 mm bands
- Charger Apple Watch magnetic fast charger
Apple lists the Series 12 in 42 mm and 46 mm, and bands are not shared between the two sizes. Apple publishes models A3582 and A3587 for the Series 12 without saying which size each covers, so the engraved millimetre figure is what settles it. Every Series 12 ships with one band and one magnetic fast charger cable, so a band or a charger is a second one.
