  • - Small screwdriver or spring bar tool
  • - New watch strap
  • - Tweezers (optional)
  • - Soft cloth or microfiber towel

02Remove the Old Strap

  • Examine the watch lugs: Look for small spring bars or screws holding the strap to the lugs.
  • Use the screwdriver or spring bar tool: If you see spring bars, gently press one end with the tool to release it from the lug.
  • Slide out the spring bar: Once one end is released, carefully slide out the spring bar from the lug.
  • Repeat for the other side: Follow the same steps for the other end of the strap.
  • Remove the old strap: Once both spring bars are detached, remove the old strap from the watch.

03Attach the New Strap

  • Align the new strap: Position the new strap so that it aligns with the lugs on the watch case.
  • Insert the spring bar: Slide one end of the spring bar into the lug, making sure it fits securely.
  • Attach the other end: Use the tool to compress the spring bar and slide it into the other lug.
  • Test the attachment: Gently tug on the strap to ensure it is properly secured.
  • Repeat for the other side: Repeat the process for the other end of the strap.
  • Adjust the fit: If necessary, adjust the length of the strap using the buckle or clasp.

04Clean and Maintain the Strap

  • Clean the strap: Use a soft cloth or microfiber towel to wipe down the new strap and remove any smudges or dirt.
  • Avoid water and chemicals: Depending on the material of the strap, avoid exposing it to water or chemicals that could damage it.
  • Regular maintenance: Depending on the type of strap, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for care and maintenance.
