Compatible With Garmin Watch Band, Super Rugged Nylon Sports Strap With Woven Loop Design, For fēnix/Forerunner/Vivoactive/Approach/MARQ/quatix/D2 Series Tough Replacement Band For Men

Update: Upped 1 star. Takes a bit getting used to. Seems to be better than others with a more elastic textile. Still think that bucket is ridiculously large and pointless, just adds extra weight. If you think you need medium get the small size. I think my wrist is around 9 cm and I need 5o force the thing to fully close.The materials seem of decent quality, but the execution is not so much. The buckle for looping the fabric is way too large. The quickfit parts ok but smaller than the OEM ones, enough to make their utilisation rather difficult without nails

INITIAL REVIEW: 18th April 2023 - Build quality is very good. Material is a little stiff, but I guess this will soften up and become more comfortable with use.I have some initial concerns about the stickiness/grip of the velcro: it's similar material to some outdoor jackets I have that catch on things and open, because the hook side is so stiff it peels itself off - maybe this will mould to my wrist eventually. The springs on the clips that attach to the watch aren't quite as strong as the 4 official Garmin, or a third party strap I own. Not sure if this will cause problems but time will tell.I have a 18.7 cm wrist and opted for the middle size. Unfortunately, the hook side of the velcro protrudes 1cm beyond the loop side and combined with my comment above, makes me think it will catch on things and open. In hindsight, I should have got the shorter one!The strap arrived a few days quicker than I expected - can't fault the service.EDIT: 2 May 2023 - I sent the "middle" sized one back and replaced it with the small one, which I'm a lot happer with. My initial concerns about the velcro opening or the strap catching on something no longer apply, as this one fits perfectly and curls around my wrist a lot better. Overall I'm very pleased with it.

Most comfortable strap i have had yet on my Garmin S60. Very light weight and doesn't add any extra height off the wrist like the nato straps. After flexing and rolling it for a few minutes to loosen up the webbing it sits nicely round the wrist.I have 8” wrist and Medium (middle) is just on the limit for size. A slightly larger one might be handy.

Looks cool, wearing well. Only downside is like any fabric strap on a sports watch it starts to smell quite quickly so needs frequent washing. Would that stop me buying it again no.

Had mine for a little while now, no sign of wear and tear. Really comfortable and dries fairly quickly. The Velcro seems very durable and doesn't wear out or loose it's grip when taking it off and on a lot. Would recommend!

These straps are excellent.So well made.I feel confident that it won't fall off.I've worn is Biking, running, boxing, rowing and general gym use as well.One negative, it absorbs sweat like a towel.I need to wash it regularly.

I recently purchased the Garmin Watch Band, Super Rugged Nylon Sports Strap with Woven Loop, and I must say that I am quite impressed with the overall value and comfort it provides. The price point is definitely a plus, as it is affordable and offers a great alternative to more expensive bands on the market.The comfort of this band is noteworthy, as it feels great on the wrist and does not cause any irritation during long periods of wear. The nylon material is soft and flexible, making it perfect for various sports and activities. However, there are some scratchy bits on the band that can be a minor annoyance. I found that these scratchy areas were mostly near the edges and seams, and they can be easily resolved by either smoothing them out or trimming them with scissors.One of the standout features of this band is its ability to fully utilize the sensors on my Garmin watch. I have not experienced any issues with heart rate monitoring or GPS tracking while using this band, which is crucial for those who rely on these features during their workouts.The woven loop design is both stylish and functional, providing a secure fit and preventing the watch from sliding around on my wrist. The band is also easy to adjust and fits a wide

I was very impressed with the band when I received and first used it. First impressions were that it was well made, good colour, solid clips, nicely finished metal parts. It was comfortable to wear too.However, after a couple of weeks use and despite cleaning it after any particularly sweaty use, I found my wrist started getting a heat/sweat rash. Nothing I tried prevented it (daily washing it, wearing it looser, etc). My wrist got worse, so I started wearing it on my other wrist. It broke out in the same after only a few days. In almost 40 years of wearing watches, I've never had this before.It's taken weeks for my wrist to heal properly and if I wear it again, even for 24h, my wrist reacts, going.red and blotchy. I've had to go back to metal straps which appear to be inert. It's a great shame as before this reaction, I loved this strap.
