One of the many great aspects of owning a watch like the Samsung Gear S3 is how easily interchangeable the bands are. While the included band may work for most users, having the option to customize your watch band to match your style can be an enjoyable experience. If you need to dress up for work or a night on the town, you can switch over to a leather or metal band. Do you want to switch to something more comfortable for that trip to the gym or that hike on a hot summer day? If so, check out a nylon or silicone watch band instead.
