Approach S62 wrist band size and extra links available?

Hi, I'm looking at getting myself an Approach S62 but as I have big wrists I'd like to know the size of the wrist band that comes included with the watch.

Can someone tell me what the maximum size (circumference) is that's supported with the included strap?
Also, with the availability of additional straps such as the titanium QuickFit 22 Watch Band (Carbon grey DLC), can you get additional links? And what's the maximum length of those straps?

Thank you very much :-)

    You would not be able to extend the Titanium band but I have not had any customer yet, report it was not big enough. Most end up removing between 3 to 6 links for it to fit properly when taking it to a professional jeweler to resize the band.

    As for the default Approach S62 band, I measured mine and it came to 9.5" inches. To be safe, since you likely do not want to wear it on the last band hole position, you should be fine if when you measure your wrist circumference it is under 9".

    I called our local Garmin Support and they told me the metal/titanium bands are 235mm long.

    After that I ordered the titanium DLC coated band (SKU 010-12863-09) and it turns out the be 195mm long. That is quite the bummer as now I'll need to go back to Garmin Support and ask them for an extra link. It's just a tad too short for me now Disappointed

    I also asked a jeweller that had the Marq watch, very nice but didn't have the functionality that the Approach S62 has. Either way, the same watch bands and he told me that he can only order complete watch bands and not segments.

    For the price level of these watch bands (USD 300 / EUR 300) I would have, at the very least, expected better specifications listed on the Garmin website.

    I did notice just now that going to the US website, it states for the S62 "Fits wrists with a circumference of 125-208 mm" but the EU website does not have that specification listed...

    I hope Garmin Support (Netherlands) can help me out as I very much like the S62 watch and quality of both the watch and titanium watch band.

    Summary so far:

    - Garmin QuickFit 22 Silicone wrist band "Fits wrists with a circumference of 125-208 mm" according the the US website.
    - Garmin QuickFit 22 Titanium wrist band is 195mm long. Measured by me and verified with jeweller. Applies to all steel and titanium wrist bands.
