Sport Band for Classic Watch

[Vihzel]

I exercise everyday and plan to wear the watch while I exercise to help add to my daily step count and calorie burned count. However, it's not a good idea to exercise while wearing a leather band since the sweat can really take a toll on the leather. I am interested in getting the Classic version of Gear S2 as I really like how the platinum model looks, but I was wondering if there are any good choices when it comes to sport bands.

Any 20mm watch band will work. Just make sure your new band includes pins. If they don't, you can buy them from Amazon. You can't use the pins from the strap on the stock S2 watch band as it's sewn into the band itself.

Tons of 20mm watch bands on Amazon

Are there any that would be recommended that have the sewn-in pins like the leather band? It would be very annoying to have to change out the bands with a special tool every day. I had the Apple Watch before moving to Android and it was so simple to move from the leather band to sport and back.

You could go with something that has quick release pins (I have these for my Pebble Time). Makes life much easier.

Something like this: Amazon.com: Rerii 20mm Width Silicone Band Strap with Quick-Release Pins for Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 Classic,Moto 360 2 42mm Man and Other Watch with 20mm Band (Black - Silicone): Cell Phones & Accessories

Great find - I like those bands and the quick release pins are even better!

There are a ton, just do some searching. Can probably find them even cheaper.

Happy hunting!

Clockwork Synergy has a host of silicone bands that have quick release pins. Also, I bought this band along with some quick release pins, and was able to use a leather punch (put a toothpick inside the strap) to create a slot that allowed me to use the quick release.
