FAQ
How do I clean the braided leather?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid soaking the strap in water or using harsh detergents. We recommend using a leather conditioner every few months to keep the cowhide supple and prevent the braid from drying out or cracking over time.
Does it require a break-in period?
Yes, like all genuine leather products, the Cowhide Braided Leather Strap with Quick-Release will feel slightly stiff when it first arrives. It typically takes 3 to 5 days of regular wear to mold to the shape of your wrist and achieve its full flexibility and comfort level.
Will it fit my Samsung Galaxy Watch?
Yes, as long as you choose the correct lug width for your specific model. Most Samsung Galaxy Watch models use 20mm or 22mm bands. You can check our collection of Samsung Galaxy Watch bands to verify the size needed for your specific version.
Are the quick-release pins secure?
The integrated pins are designed to stay locked within the strap housing. They feature a small lever that you slide with your fingernail, making it easy to install or remove the band without scratching your watch lugs or needing specialized tools for the process.
Can I swap the buckle for a different color?
The buckle is attached with a standard spring bar and can be removed. This allows you to swap the included silver buckle for a different finish if you want to match your watch case exactly. You can follow our guide on how to replace a watch buckle for help.
