HELP!!!! Galaxy Gear Watch Band To Small

[radar001a]

Sorry wrong device

This is what I did, after not really liking the added plastic thickness using the other suggested fix:

I went to ebay, did a search for "Men 22 mm Metal Watch Straps Bracelet Stainless Steel Band Deployment Clasp," and ordered up one of these (in bronze) for my watch

Less than $16 US delivered to my home. This was my end result. Needless to say, I love it!

To start off I love the watch...

but it does not fit my wrist it is very tight cutting off my circulation. I am not the biggest guy in the world so i think many others will have this same problem. i have talked to Samsung about this issue and they said that they had many complaints about this but that they will not make a product to increase the band size like a band extender. Samsung said it is up to the cellphone provider to make these accessories. Best buy will not take the watch back because it is fully functional and they blame it on Samsung for not providing a band size in there specs. So now i am stuck with a watch that i cant wear and cant return I hope a 3rd party comes out with a extender soon.

Any suggestions???

You can buy a bigger band here. Just take out the parentheses and brackets

I took the suggestions here and made a little modification that fits me best. I bought the Gear 2 on Xmas Eve and just got it yesterday. I would rather have the big face instead of the new one.

I used the snap of a snap back hat as described in earlier post. I made it where I got one male snap to fit in the existing band and then used black heat shrink tubing to keep it all together. Worked out for me in my delima until I get my new band.

Samsung no longer supports the gear 2 and NEO so they have stopped selling the large bands as well. I will have to do a little more digging to find the large bands on the net.

Picture #2 - I tried it a few different ways and I like this way the best. It fits perfect for me now. For $179 brand new off Ebay I'm pleased.

Trying to add a photo of my invention.
You can flip the rounded end to be the outside end of the band I guess...so it's a different look..just reverse where you put the "hole"

You guys must have issues with all watches. The GG follows industry standards for sizing. Compared to a Seiko, Citizen, Invicta, Raymond Weil and Tag Hauer I own, it's max size is identical to all others.

I beg to differ...I have a citizen watch already and the band fits perfectly....Gear 2 classic band is worn on the last hole...need a longer watch band!

What they were trying to say is you can get aftermarket bands. You can probably find one that can get extra links added to it. The biggest band I found at a mall kiosk was Dakota Brand and it should work for most of you. My wrists are stupid large. Handcuffs have to be forcefully pushed over my wrists which I found out when they tried to cuff me for security officer training. Having an asian made watch come in with small bands is a **** poor excuse to return it and not get bigger bands. The watch works great.
