Band for Garmin Vivoactive HR Watch, Soft Silicone Wristband Replacement Band for Garmin Vivoactive HR Sports Watch

When the keep on the bracelet broke, I searched for replacements and found many others had experienced the same issue. With an OEM version potentially costing $30, I found this item, seemingly a huge bargain. I noted that some of the reviewers indicated they only received one Torx screwdriver (you must have 2) and I did receive both. I found that the segment of the band that was not the part with the clasp was shorter than the one I had (I had the XL version), but might have been enough. I left it in place and only replaced the segment of the band with the clasp and keeper. Replacement was easy except you have to be really (really) careful as the torx screws that screw into the bar that spans the band and secures it to the watch are really (really) tiny. One of mine decided to fall out unexpectedly when removing it and was very hard to locate. Happily, it was located and the band replacement completed. Quality of the band seems very good and fit to the watch as good as the original band. Very minor difference include that the clasp doesn’t say “Garmin”.

This is the exact replacement for the band he was previously using.

I've had the same smartwatch for over 5 years and have now purchased this item twice. I do put my device through the ringer, so I feel like the thin rubber product has held up surprisingly well relative to the impacts, wear, and tear that it takes on. The screws on each end of the spring bar can be difficult to disconnect with only two hands and stripping of the screw head might occur, and no replacement spring bars are included (feels odd for a replacement watch band to not include replacements of the connector devices to the main watch face) - this is the only downfall of the product that I worry about.However, when I was looking for a replacement band the second time and I selected this product, I was relieved to see that I had ordered it before, and made the purchase based on that prior positive experience without any hesitation; if my watch is still functioning again by the time I need a new watch, I'll be immediately returning to buy this product a third time.

Same as original, perfect fit. Recommend this product

The original band didn't break but the little loop piece that holds the excess end of the band did. I looked at the original Garmin band and was about to buy it ($30) and then came across this one. It is very much identical and only has one loop instead of two that most of the other non-Garmin ones seem to have. It took about 5 minutes to replace and the one difference I note is that it is a little stiffer than the original but it may soften a bit over time. I would buy again without hesitation. I noticed that when you buy a single replacement band, they one have the one loop but the multi-color packages have the two loops. Something to think about . I wanted gray but didn't want two loops.

Replacement was able to installed easily, and appeared to be a decent knock off of the Garmin branded watch band that came on the watch originally. However this new band broke within 4 days of being on the watch. Quality just isn't there. Skip this and pay the $23 for the Garmin brand watch band.

worked perfect, good quality

This watch band is about 1cm shorter than standard which means I have very little band left to secure at the end.But it does work and is far cheaper than the Garmin offering while appearing to last about the same time.They do get bonus points for including an extra keeper since that's typically the first part to go.You need two torx screwdrivers to get the band loose and they provide them - however the drivers are little long which makes it difficult to control two drivers while trying to support the watch. This is a quibble since they'd have to develop a more specialized version to handle it.Overalll I recommend this item even though they altered it to be shorter tan the first one I bought from them.
