There are many styles of buckles in many configurations and as long as you make sure the buckle is the right width for your band, you should have no problem changing it. To put it in very simple terms, it’s not too much different than changing the roll of toilet paper in your bathroom.

Tools

The difference being of course the buckle is a lot smaller so you will need small tools to perform the compression of the spring bar that holds the buckle in place. You can use small screw drivers, and any other thin device that can fit between the buckle and the strap.

Changing The Buckle

All you need to do is stick the screwdriver or other small device between the buckle and the edge of the strap, catch the edge of the spring bar and push towards the strap, away from the buckle end. Be very careful doing this as if you aren’t, you may flip the spring bar and once they go for a road trip, they’re very hard to find due to their small nature. In order to install your new buckle, all you need to do is reverse your procedure, then your buckle will be installed and you’ll be all ready to go.
