Yes, you need to cut the strap on both sides. The best way to do it is to cut one section at a time and try it on your wrist before moving onto the next. Don't forget that there is some adjustment built in to the strap, so it is possible to adjust for changes in the size of your wrist.

If you aren't comfortable with cutting it yourself, I would take it to an AD for help.

A while back I wrote a quick guide with pics. You can find it here:

It's the 4th or 5th post on the first page of the thread.

I followed aleister's guide when I got mine. The directions are perfect.

Just remember: Measure twice. Cut once.

Good luck, and enjoy the new strap.
