Good news! The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro retain the same quick-release system for swapping out watch bands that we saw on the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Watch Active 2. This means that you can still use your older 20mm bands if you want. Having the same band mechanism also means you don't need to learn how to swap bands on your new Samsung Galaxy Watch as it's the same process that you'd follow on the Watch 4 series.

Those of you who'd still like to grab one or two new watch bands for your Galaxy Watch 5 or 5 Pro are in luck. Not only do you get to choose from the newer bands made for the Watch 5 series, but you also get to have your pick from the best Galaxy Watch 4 bands.

Available in three colors, the Spigen Modern Fit sports an extremely versatile design that can be paired with a multitude of outfits. It has a high-end finish and the metal clasps are sturdy, making this band worth every dime.
