The original Galaxy Watch (2018) is Samsung's iconic Tizen smartwatch — rotating stainless-steel bezel, stainless-steel case and 20 mm lugs. It came in 42 mm and 46 mm. 42 mm is the more compact option. At RPD you find a wide selection of 20 mm bands with 29 SKUs. Watchband Polo Arlen carries stainless-steel models (42-49 mm) and leather models (Brendan, Campbell) — perfect match for the classic look of the original Galaxy Watch.
Standard 20 mm quick-release. We carry directly for the Galaxy Watch 42 mm: Watchband Polo Arlen Stainless Steel (42-49 mm) in black, gold and grey, Watchband Polo Arlen Brendan Leather (42-45 mm) in brown and red, Watchband Polo Arlen Campbell Leather (42-44 mm) — and all DUX bands from our Galaxy Watch 20mm hub category. Sport silicone is the default for training, swimming and outdoor — stainless-steel link bracelet or Milanese gives a classic look matching the rotating bezel — leather is the business variant.
The classic rotating stainless-steel bezel is a central design element of the original Galaxy Watch — it is vulnerable to scratches when bumped or in contact with keys. A hydrogel film on the display and ideally a bumper case protect the premium stainless-steel finish and preserve the watch's value.
The original Galaxy Watch 42 mm targets lifestyle fans, business users and collectors. For swimmers sport silicone — chlorine- and saltwater-resistant, 5 ATM. Marathon runners benefit from sport silicone. Business users pair stainless-steel link bracelet or leather. Lifestyle / fashion prefer Milanese or stainless steel. Travellers rotate two or three bands — Quick-Swap takes 5 seconds. Sustainable options: bands made from recycled silicone and vegan-leather alternatives are available.
The original Galaxy Watch charges via a specific Samsung charging pad (original 2018 format — different format from Watch3, Watch4+). NOT MagSafe-compatible. Cables & power banks are also available from us.
For bands we carry Watchband Polo Arlen (Stainless Steel, Brendan Leather, Campbell Leather) and DUX (YA Strap, Mix Pro Strap) — robust sport silicones and classic stainless-steel and leather bands.
