The steps are different for the Gear S2 and the Gear S2 Classic.
Then, install the new bands by pushing them straight into the slots until they click.The Gear S2 Classic uses a pin instead of a button. Push it upwards to release the watchbands. It's possible to change the bands on Samsung Gear S2 smartwatches, so you can switch things up to match any outfit or occasion.

Slide the watch band toward the back of the body of the watch. You may need to wiggle it some to get it to let loose, but don't pull the band directly out from the watch.

Turn the watch over so that the back is facing up and locate the pin at the base of the watch band. Using your fingernail, push the pin in the direction of the opposite side of the band (where there is no pin).

A spring-loaded pin within the watch band connection will depress. Gently pull the side of the watch where the pin is located away from the timepiece. Do not pull the band straight out from the body of the watch, as this could bend the pin.

Once that side is free, the other end of the pin should pull freely from the opposite side of the band. Repeat the process with the other side of the band. On the new watch band, insert the freestanding pin into the appropriate hole in the band connection, and then depress the pin on the opposite end and slide it into place.
