Summary
Changing out your Galaxy Watch 5 Band can be a little difficult if you have large fingers and no nails. To make it easier, you can use a flat piece of metal, such as a nail file or nail clippers, to pull down on the small metal pin.
Make sure you have lined up your watch prior to starting, so you don’t end up placing your bands on the wrong end or upside down.
Depending on if you are right or left-handed, you will want to rotate the watch to your dominant hand for easy attachment.
