20mm Quick Release
The original Samsung Galaxy Watch (42mm) uses a standard 20mm quick-release band, opening up one of the widest strap selections in the store. This collection gathers everything confirmed to fit: the best-selling Silicone Samsung Galaxy Watch Band, the breathable Sport Loop, the Italian Calf Leather 3 Pin Clasp band, and dressier picks in the Classic Stainless Steel, Milanese Loop and crystal-set Rhinestone band, plus protection and accessories. Everything ships fast from Australian stock with a 12-month local warranty and a satisfaction guarantee.
Which Bands Fit the Galaxy Watch (42mm)?
The original 42mm Galaxy Watch takes a 20mm quick-release band. Bands swap in seconds with no tools, and anything bought for it also fits other 20mm Samsung models, including the Galaxy Watch Active series and the Galaxy Watch4 through Watch7. The full 20mm Quick Release collection is compatible too, and the Samsung Band Compatibility Guide covers every model if you want to double-check.
If you own the larger 46mm version of the original Galaxy Watch instead, that takes a 22mm band; see the Galaxy Watch (46mm) collection for that size.
Band Styles for the Galaxy Watch (42mm)
Silicone
The Silicone Samsung Galaxy Watch Band is the store's most-reviewed band, with almost 400 reviews behind it: sweat and water resistant, comfortable around the clock and available in ten colours. The Silicone Active Band offers a slimmer, buckle-free take with one of the highest review scores in the range.
Sport Loop
The Sport Loop is a soft, breathable woven loop with hook-and-loop fastening, endlessly adjustable and the lightest feel in the range, in black, seashell, pink sand and rainbow.
Leather
The Italian Calf Leather 3 Pin Clasp band dresses the original Galaxy Watch up for the office in black, white, brown or red, with a secure 3-pin clasp.
Stainless Steel and Milanese
The Classic Stainless Steel band is a solid link bracelet in silver, black, gold or rose gold, and pairs naturally with the original Galaxy Watch's traditional round-case styling. The Milanese Loop is a magnetic mesh in silver, black and rose gold that adjusts steplessly for a precise fit.
Rhinestone
The Rhinestone band adds crystal-set sparkle in black, gold, rose gold and vintage gold, turning the original Galaxy Watch into a genuine jewellery piece for special occasions.
Protection and Accessories
The Tempered Glass Protector guards the display against scratches, and replacement Quick Release Spring Bars can revive a band with a lost or worn pin. The Nurse Pin Fob converts the watch into a pin-on fob for healthcare and other bare-wrist workplaces.
Which Band Should You Choose?
- Gym, running and everyday wear: the Silicone or Silicone Active band, sweatproof, secure and easy to clean.
- All-day breathable comfort: the Sport Loop's soft woven construction is the lightest feel in the range.
- Office and smart-casual: the Italian Calf Leather band matches the watch's classic looks; keep it away from sweat and water.
- Dress occasions: the Classic Stainless Steel, Milanese Loop or Rhinestone band give the most premium finish, with the Milanese adjusting steplessly for a perfect fit.
- On shift in healthcare: the Nurse Pin Fob keeps the watch on your uniform where wristwear isn't allowed.
Caring for Your Band
- Silicone and Sport Loop: wash with mild soap and water, air dry fully before refitting, and avoid harsh alcohol-based cleaners.
- Leather: keep dry, wipe promptly after any moisture contact, and condition occasionally; avoid wearing it during exercise.
- Stainless steel, Milanese and rhinestone: a soft damp cloth keeps the finish sharp, with a soft brush and soapy water for the mesh weave when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size band does the Galaxy Watch (42mm) use?
The 42mm case uses a 20mm band with standard quick-release pins. Select the 20mm size variant when ordering any band from this collection.
Is this the same as the 46mm Galaxy Watch?
No. The original Galaxy Watch was sold in two case sizes. The 42mm case takes a 20mm band, covered in this collection, while the 46mm case takes a 22mm band, covered in the Galaxy Watch (46mm) collection.
Will these bands fit newer Samsung watches?
Yes, on any Samsung model with 20mm lugs, including the Galaxy Watch Active and Active 2, and the Galaxy Watch4 through Watch7.
How do I change the band on my Galaxy Watch?
Slide the small quick-release lever on the underside of the band inward and lift the band away from the case. Fit the new band by seating one end of the pin, pulling the lever, and clicking it into the opposite lug hole. No tools required; the band-changing guide shows each step.
Which band is best for swimming?
Silicone, in either variant. It handles pool and ocean water without damage and rinses clean afterwards. The Sport Loop, leather, steel, Milanese and rhinestone bands should stay out of the water. Your watch's own water resistance rating is separate from the band, so confirm it with Samsung.
My original band's pin broke. Do I need a whole new band?
Not necessarily. Replacement Quick Release Spring Bars are available separately, which can bring an otherwise good band back into service.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes. Orders ship via Australia Post to every state and territory, with free shipping on orders over $30 and same-day dispatch for weekday orders placed before 1pm.
