Dynamic Lug System: Effortless Band Changes in a Single Click
The lug is the part of the watch case that connects the watch to the band. The Galaxy Watch8 series features the Dynamic Lug System — an intuitive mechanism first introduced in last year’s Galaxy Watch Ultra — that allows users to swap bands easily with the press of a button.
Thanks to the simplified lug connection, the band now sits more naturally against the wrist — minimizing the gap between the watch case and band. This improved fit enhances comfort while offering a smoother, more refined look. With hassle-free band swapping, users can enjoy a fresh style every day.
