Which GEAK band fits your watch
Every watch this catalogue is cut for, the width or case run to look for on each one, and six things to settle before you order.
Garmin, by lug width
Garmin runs four widths, and the width is the whole of the fit question. The name of the watch does not tell you the number - the slot the old strap sat in does.
| Watch | What to look for | Bands we make for it |
|---|---|---|
| Venu | 20mm lug | 19 bands |
| Venu 2 | 22mm lug | 15 bands |
| Vivoactive 5 | 20mm lug | 13 bands |
| Vivomove | 20mm lug | 12 bands |
| Venu 3 | 22mm lug | 11 bands |
| Venu Sq | 20mm lug | 11 bands |
| Vivoactive 4 | 22mm lug | 11 bands |
| Vivoactive 6 | 20mm lug | 11 bands |
| Venu 3S | 18mm lug | 10 bands |
| Vivoactive 3 | 20mm lug | 8 bands |

Samsung Galaxy Watch, on one width
Samsung has kept a 20mm lug from Galaxy Watch 4 onwards, and one strap covers most of a decade of watches.
| Watch | What to look for | Bands we make for it |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Watch Classic | 20mm lug | 24 bands |
| Galaxy Watch Active 2 | 20mm lug | 18 bands |
| Galaxy Watch 4 | 20mm lug | 17 bands |
| Galaxy Watch 6 | 20mm lug | 17 bands |
| Galaxy Watch 5 | 20mm lug | 16 bands |
| Galaxy Watch 5 Pro | 20mm lug | 16 bands |
| Galaxy Watch 7 | 20mm lug | 13 bands |
| Galaxy Watch 8 | 20mm lug | 9 bands |
| Galaxy Watch 8 Classic | 20mm lug | 9 bands |
| Galaxy Watch FE | 20mm lug | 8 bands |
| Galaxy Watch 9 | 20mm lug | 3 bands |
| Galaxy Watch Ultra | 47mm case | 2 bands |
Apple Watch, by case size
No lug width at all. Apple keeps two runs of case size, and a band cut for the small run will not go on an Ultra.
| Watch | What to look for | Bands we make for it |
|---|---|---|
| SE | 40mm or 44mm case | 7 bands |
| Series 3 | 38mm or 42mm case | 7 bands |
| Series 4 | 40mm or 44mm case | 7 bands |
| Series 5 | 40mm or 44mm case | 7 bands |
| Series 6 | 40mm or 44mm case | 7 bands |
| Series 7 | 41mm or 45mm case | 7 bands |
| Series 8 | 41mm or 45mm case | 7 bands |
| Series 9 | 41mm or 45mm case | 7 bands |
| Series 10 | 42mm or 46mm case | 7 bands |
| Ultra and Ultra 2 | 49mm case | 7 bands |
| Series 11 | 42mm or 46mm case | 6 bands |
Fitbit, by tracker
A Fitbit takes its own moulded pins. Charge 5 and Charge 6 share a fitting; Versa 3, Versa 4, Sense and Sense 2 share another.
Six checks
What to settle before you order
None of these takes longer than two minutes, and every one of them is a reason people order twice.
- 01
Read the name off the back
The model is engraved on the case back, under the sensor window. That name is what every band page on this site names, so it settles the question without a ruler.
- 02
Measure the lug on a Garmin or a Galaxy
Take the old strap off and measure across the slot it sat in. Eighteen, twenty, twenty-two or twenty-six: those are the four widths that exist, and the reading is not a preference.
- 03
Read the case size on an Apple Watch
There is no lug width. The number on the back of the case puts you in one of two runs, and a band is cut for one run or the other.
- 04
Buy a Fitbit strap by tracker name
A Charge strap and a Versa strap are different mouldings. Neither is measured in millimetres, and neither goes on the other family.
- 05
Decide about metal before colour
Steel releases small amounts of nickel, and nickel is the commonest contact allergen in the country. If costume jewellery marks you, the silicone and the nylon do the same job.
- 06
Treat a pack as a wardrobe
A multipack is one strap in ten or fifteen colours rather than ten of the same. The colours come as a set, so take it for the variety and not for the spare.
Every shelf
Where the GEAK range is kept
Five shelves, cut by the watch rather than by the material.
- Apple Watch bands · fits the lug, not the wrist
- Samsung Galaxy Watch bands · one width, ten watches
- Fitbit bands · pins, not lugs
- Garmin bands · read the width first
- Cases and screen protection · the other half of the watch
Every width, every colour
Every width and colour in the GEAK selection sits behind this button, with the price from our last update against each one.
