Connect, replace & adjust the Galaxy Watch3's band length

Last Update date : Aug 04. 2022

Putting on the Galaxy Watch3

Open the buckle and place your Galaxy Watch3 around your wrist. Fit the band to your wrist, insert the pin into an adjustment hole, and then secure the buckle to close it. If the band is too tight on your wrist, use the hole one further out.

For the metal band, add or remove the metal band links to adjust its length to fit the band to your wrist before wearing and securing the buckle to close it.

 

Please note:
• Do not bend the band excessively. Doing so may damage the Galaxy Watch

• When you wear the Galaxy Watch3 for a long time or do a high-intensity exercise while wearing it, skin irritation may occur due to friction and pressure. If you wearing your Galaxy Watch3 for a long time, remove the Galaxy Watch3 from your wrist and do not wear your Galaxy Watch3 for several hours.

• Skin irritation may occur due to an allergy, environment factors, other factors, or when your skin is exposed to soap or sweat for long periods. In this case, stop using your Galaxy Watch3 and wait 2 or 3 days for the symptoms to ease. If the symptoms persist or worsen, immediately call your doctor.

• Make sure your skin is dry before wearing your Galaxy Watch3. If you wear a wet Galaxy Watch3 for a long time, your skin may be affected.

• If you use your Galaxy Watch3 in the water, remove foreign materials from your skin and Galaxy Watch3 and dry them thoroughly to prevent the skin irritation.

• Do not use any accessories except the Galaxy Watch3 in the water.
