Fit & sizing notes for the Galaxy Watch (46mm, Gen 1)

  • Width: buy 22mm straps. Tapered straps listed as 22/20mm or 22/18mm fit too; only the first number has to match. See strap sizes explained.
  • Spring bars: 22mm long, about 2.0mm diameter (spring bar sizes).
  • Every Samsung model: see our Galaxy Watch band size guide for which bands fit each one.
  • Strap thickness: at 13mm thick it's a chunky case: thicker padded leather, rubber/FKM or a heavier NATO balance it visually; very thin straps can look undersized.
