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.

Find the correct width for your watch

Note:The leather band may make a squeaking sound where it connects with the Galaxy Watch3due 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. Metal bands may cause interference with the Galaxy Watch4. You may experience dropped calls, GPS inaccuracy, and deviations in body composition measurements.

Determine the right band length for your wrist

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!

  1. Take a piece of rope or string and wrap it around your wrist.

  2. Use a pen or marker to mark the spot where the string meets.

  3. Take the string and lay it flat on a ruler or tape measure to find the size in millimeters.
