In this paper it was shown that for any positive \(d\in \mathbb{N}\) a spherical convex body in \(S^d\) is of constant diameter \(\tau\) if and only if it has constant width \(\tau\) for some \(0<\tau<\pi\). This is an extension of the result of \textit{M. Lassak} [Aequationes Math. 94, No. 2, 393--400 (2020; Zbl 1436.52010)], where he proved that this statement holds for every smooth spherical convex body in \(S^d\) of diameter \(0<\tau<\pi/2\), and for every spherical convex body in \(S^2\). The authors applied their result for Wulff shapes. Namely, they showed that a Wulff shape \(\mathcal{W}_{\gamma}\) for a continuous function \(\gamma\colon S^n\to \mathbb{R}_{+}\) is self-dual if and only if its spherical Wulff shape is of constant diameter \(\pi/2\).
