The buckle strap of  claim 4 , wherein the first cover comprises an opening corresponding to a first portion where the spring bar and the bridge overlap each other when viewed in the first direction, such that the first portion is provided in the first buckle, and the first cover covers a second portion where the spring bar and the bridge do not overlap each other. 
     
     
         6 . The buckle strap of  claim 1 , wherein the second buckle comprises:
 an opening configured to allow the second strap to be inserted and to be movable; and   a locking device configured to fix the second strap.   
     
     
         7 . The buckle strap of  claim 1 , wherein the second buckle comprises a second magnetic shield member between the second magnet and a second surface of the second buckle on which the second magnet is provided. 
     
     
         8 . The buckle strap of  claim 1 , wherein the second buckle comprises a second cover covering the second magnet in a fourth direction which is opposite to a third direction in which the second magnet is provided. 
     
     
         9 . The buckle strap of  claim 8 , further comprising a second screw member coupling the second cover with the second buckle. 
     
     
         10 . The buckle strap of  claim 1 , wherein the second buckle comprises a shock buffer member between a second surface of the second buckle on which the second magnet is provided, and the second magnet. 
     
     
         11 . The buckle strap of  claim 1 , wherein the second buckle comprises a first cover covering the second magnet in an opposite direction of a direction in which the second magnet is provided,
 wherein the buckle strap further comprises a first screw member coupling the first cover with the second buckle, and   wherein a position where the first screw member is inserted is adjacent to one surface of the second magnet in a width direction.   
     
     
         12 . The buckle strap of  claim 11 , wherein, in a state in which the first buckle and the second buckle are fastened to each other, an overlapping area of the first magnet and the second magnet as viewed in a thickness direction of the first magnet and the second magnet is substantially the same as an area of the first magnet or the second magnet. 
     
     
         13 . The buckle strap of  claim 11 , wherein the first buckle comprises a second cover covering the first magnet in the opposite direction of a direction in which the first magnet is provided. 
     
     
         14 . The buckle strap of  claim 13 , further comprising a second screw member coupling the second cover with the first buckle, and
 wherein a position where the second screw member is inserted is adjacent to one surface of the first magnet in the width direction.   
     
     
         15 . A wearable electronic device comprising:
 a housing;   a display visible to an outside through a side of the housing; and   a buckle strap attachably and detachably connected to the housing,   wherein the buckle strap comprising:   a first strap configured to attachably and detachably connect to a first portion of the housing of the wearable electronic device;   a second strap configured to attachably and detachably connect to a second portion of the housing;   a first buckle provided in and fixed to a seat portion in an end region of the first strap in a recessed shape, the first buckle comprising a first magnet disposed on an inner side of the first buckle; and   a second buckle comprising a second magnet provided in an inner side of the second buckle, the second buckle being fastened to the first buckle via the first magnet and the second magnet,   wherein the first buckle comprises a first magnetic shield member between the first magnet and a first surface of the first buckle on which the first magnet is provided.
