How to change the band on your Samsung smart watch
If you're bored of wearing the same band day after day, we have good news. Samsung watch bands are easily replaceable. All you need to do is make sure the new band is the correct width for your watch model. Once you have one that matches your style, you can swap them out in just a few quick steps to further customize your look.
Note: When purchasing a Galaxy watch you can select from a variety of styles and colors of watches and bands that best suits you.
Find the correct width for your watch
Official Samsung watch bands are offered in two sizes. Size S/M fits 130mm - 190mm wrists. Size M/L fits 145mm - 205mm wrists. To find the right size for you, you'll need to measure your wrist. If you don't have a cloth or paper tape measure, just use a string!
- Take a piece of rope or string and wrap it around your wrist.
- Use a pen or marker to mark the spot where the string meets.
- Take the string and lay it flat on a ruler or tape measure to find the size in millimeters.
Note: The leather band may make a squeaking sound where it connects with the Galaxy Watch3 due to characteristics of the material. This is normal and you can address this issue by applying leather care products to the band at the connection point.
Change your watch band
Once you know the correct size of your watch, you can change the band by following a few quick steps.
One-Click watch bands

Other Samsung watch bands
To remove the existing band, slide the band’s spring bar inward and pull the strap away from the watch. Then, simply insert one end of the new band’s spring bar into the lug on one side of the watch. Slide the other spring bar inward, and release it once the strap is in place. Repeat these steps to replace the watch's other band.
