Start by placing your Apple Watch face down on a padded surface or soft cloth to avoid scratching the glass display.
How to change straps on the Apple Watch
01. Start by placing your Apple Watch face down on a padded surface or soft cloth to avoid scratching the glass display.
We suggest attaching the shorter band on the slot that is closer to the Digital Crown.
02. Press down on and hold the band release button, allowing you to slide out your current band in either direction; detaching it from the Apple Watch. The band should come out without struggle.
03. Slide in your new Longvadon bands into the slots. You will hear a faint ‘click’ when the bands are in place.
How to swap Apple Watch connectors
QUICK RELEASE 2.0
01. Locate the quick-release spring bar at the “watch-end” of each leather strap. Slide the little knob to the side to release the spring bar, allowing you to slide the strap off the tube connectors.
02. Place your desired Longvadon Apple Watch connector in its place by pulling the same knob to the side and releasing the knob so that the spring bar locks into the slots on each side of your new connector.
How to change your buckle/clasp
QUICK RELEASE 2.0
01. Locate the quick-release spring bar at the “buckle-end” of the shorter strap. Slide the knob to the side to release the buckle or clasp off the spring bar.
02. Place your desired buckle or clasp in its place by pulling the same knob to the side and releasing the knob so that the spring bar locks into the little hole at the end of your new buckle/clasp.
How to use the clasp
Pry open the small “buckle” with the LONGVADON logo on it located on the end of the clasp.
Run the longer watch strap (the one with holes) through the buckle and slide the little pin that’s inside the buckle through the appropriate hole in the long strap, determined by the size of your wrist.
Slide your hand through the watch bands and twist your wrist so your palm and the butterfly clasp is facing up towards you, with the Apple Watch facing down.
Attach the shorter-strap side of the clasp by gently pressing it towards the center of the clasp, until you hear a ‘click’.
Feed the longer band through the keepers (the two small loops) on the shorter strap. It’s best to do this before moving on to the final step.
Gently press on the LONGVADON logo on top of the clasp to attach the other side of the butterfly clasp and voilá, it’s secured!
To release, simply press both side buttons on the clasp simultaneously and you can slide your watch on and off your wrist with ease.
Leather care & handling
CROCODILE EMBOSSED FULL GRAIN BOVINE HIDES
Just like the original, our 2.0 Caiman Series bands are made using carefully selected crocodile-embossed bovine hides. This leather is made of only the uppermost layers of the animal hides, also known as full grain leather. It's not only more durable and supple than lower quality hides, but acquires a beautiful patina over time.
By taking proper care, you can extend the lifetime of your watch band significantly.
We recommend that you:
• Do not pierce, slash, or cut the band with sharp objects such as blades, scissors, or knives.
• Avoid exposure to chemicals such as rubbing alcohol or astringents that can damage or dry out your band.
• Avoid exposure to water. If the band gets wet, dry with a lint-free cloth. Never dry in direct sunlight or by exposure to high heat.
• Avoid direct application of aftershave, perfume or cologne as they can stain and dry out the leather.
• Do not twist or stretch the band to the point where its structural integrity is compromised.
• Avoid twisting and pulling on the keepers, those two little leather loops keeping the longer strap in place. This is usually the most fragile part of the band.
• Do not leave out or dry the leather in direct sunlight.
Cleaning instructions
HOW TO CLEAN THE LEATHER
01. To clean your leather straps, remove them from your watch entirely.
02. If necessary, gently clean the bands with a damp, lint-free cloth and dry off as advised above. Do not soak in water! This can damage the leather.
03. From time to time, use a high-quality leather conditioner to keep your leather moisturized and looking fresh. Avoid excessive rubbing when conditioning!
HOW TO CLEAN THE BUCKLE/CLASP
01. Start by detaching the buckle/clasp from the strap using the quick-release spring bar.
02. Cover the surface of the bowl with aluminum foil and drop in one tablespoon of salt and one tablespoon of baking soda.
03. Next, pour in lukewarm even slightly hot water, and mix until murky.
04. Drop your buckle/clasp in the mixture and gently stir without damaging the metal.
05. Use a soft toothbrush (such as a soft kid’s toothbrush) and gently scrub the metal to remove any dirt or tarnish from the surface. Once done, rinse the band off with water and dry it with a soft towel or microfiber cloth.
