This is a tutorial on how to remove or replace the watch band on the Samsung Galaxy Gear S2. The Gear S2 Classic comes with a leather watchband. This watchband is quite nice. In fact it is one of the nicest bands on any smartwatch available today. Samsung has done an excellent job of making an outstanding smartwatch with a great watchband. However, some people have smaller wrists than others. Because of this, one watchband size will not fit all wrists. Fortunately the watchband can easily be removed, and a smaller watchband added. In this tutorial we will show you how to do this without damaging your watch or watch band.

1. 1
   Here we have the Samsung Galaxy smartwatch. You will see in the picture below how the bands are connected. You should also see that we currently have the size 20 Large watch band attached.

   Your watch band should be very secure before placing it back on your wrist. Examine it for any spaces or openings indicating that it might not have clearly snapped back into place. If you do not, you may find that your smartwatch falls off, which could end up breaking it. You may put the watch back on and begin wearing it as normal.

• Note that while this tutorial makes it appear quite easy to remove the watch bands, it is actually rather difficult to push the little metal tabs and remove the watchband. In fact if you are using just your fingernails you may end up damaging the nails.
• You can use any watchband from any company that fits your Galaxy Gear Classic and suits your style.
• If you have a small wrist, it might be a good idea to have the salesperson go ahead and change the watch bands for you while you are in the store. That way you can get them to help you if you have issues with it.
• If you have very large wrists, the standard large band will probably not fit you. You will want to purchase a separate band for the watch.
