Changing The Strap

[seb646]

Hello G Watch R Owners!

So, I was thinking of getting a new strap for my new LG G Watch R. I got bored of the leather strap quite quickly and its pretty small on my wrist. However, before I buy anything, I'd like to know how to change the strap. Please link any tools you think will be needed and also please make the steps as detailed as possible!

Here is the link to the strap I want to buy: goo.gl/cCHVDz

Thank you very much!

It uses standard watch band pins. I used a tiny flat blade screwdriver to change mine. You have to squeeze the leather quite a bit too get in there. I bent one of the pins getting it out so having extra ones would have been handy. Putting the new band in is easy. I bought a set of tools from Amazon for next time.

Some additional info. The G Watch R uses a 22 mm watch band, so make sure you get the right size. I also bought a tool for changing the band. Here is the link (as an example.....there are many choices, they all do the same thing): Amazon.com: Spring Bar Jeweler Tool: SWISS REIMAGINED: Watches

An extra set of pins is a good idea. The band I bought came with an extra set.

There is an article "How to change the strap on your Android Wear watch" by Jerry Hildenbrand on Jul 07 2014 that explain it very well.
