Galaxy Watch bands

Three band connections

Samsung has changed the way bands attach twice. The Watch4, Watch5, Watch6 and Watch7, Classic and Pro models included, and the Watch FE all take a 20 mm band on quick-release spring bars. The Watch8 and Watch8 Classic brought a new connector that slides into the case, and the Watch9 kept it, so bands for those three swap with each other but not with anything older. The Watch Ultra and Ultra2 have a connector of their own. A band made for one connection won't go on another, so check which watch you have before you pick a band.

Find your fit

Your model is under Settings, then About watch, and the model number is printed on the back of the case. On each band's page, the Fit option names the watch and its case size, like Watch8/9 44 or Watch4 40. The case size matters even within one connection: the end pieces are shaped to sit flush against a 40 mm or a 44 mm case, so pick the one that matches yours. Each band also lists every watch it works with.

Silicone, steel or mesh

Magnetic silicone closes by laying one end over the other, with magnets inside the strap holding them together, so there are no holes and no buckle to catch on a sleeve. It's the band for the gym and the pool: rinse it, pat it dry and wear it again. Stainless steel links are the dressier choice and the heaviest, and you size them by taking out links. Milanese mesh is a fine woven steel loop with a magnetic clasp that slides to any point along it, so it fits any wrist without tools. If your watch takes a 20 mm quick-release band, every 20 mm band in watch bands fits it too.

Fitting a new band

On the Watch4 to Watch7 and the FE, slide the small lever on the spring bar toward the middle of the band, ease that end out of the case, and fit the new band the same way in reverse. On the Watch8, Watch9 and Ultra, press the band's release button and slide it out, then push the new band in until it clicks. Give each end a light tug before you head out. A link band may need links taken out first: our fit guide shows how to measure your wrist.
