Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 4 smartwatches have the same band size. However, size isn’t the only thing that users need to consider.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch line of smartwatches is available in different sizes, and while the size of the watch should determine the size of the strap, it is not always the case. For example, the Galaxy Watch 5, which is available in 40mm and 44mm sizes, and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, which has a 45mm case, all use 20mm watch bands despite having different case sizes. The Galaxy Watch 5 Golf Edition and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Golf Edition also use 20mm watch bands.
Size Isn’t The Only Thing That Matters
Unfortunately, size isn’t the only thing that matters. While the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic’s 20mm bands will work with the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, not all the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro bands work with the Galaxy Watch 4 series. Samsung specifically says the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro’s Metal Link Bracelet, which costs a whopping $299, is only compatible with the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Apart from the width of the band, buyers should also check compatibility when purchasing a first-party or third-party band.
Another factor worth remembering is the size of the band. Samsung offers certain bands, like the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic Metal Link band, in multiple sizes to cater to the different wrists of users. A person with a small wrist will find that the small or medium size bands provide a better and more comfortable fit than a larger band. After all size considerations are taken into account, the only things to worry about are preference and budget when choosing a strap for the Galaxy Watch.
