Great Nylon Replacement of the silicone band!
Fantastic replacement band for my Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Watch! The silicone band bothers my skin especially since I run and swim, so I needed a nylon band but wanted something that would also dress my watch up. This band is perfect! I bought this band a little over a year ago and loved it…. Until the one piece the band slides into to keep it in place broke. I was going to just sew it back together but noticed build up and rust where there are teeny staples that keep this together. Considering I wear my watch 24/7 for running, boxing, swimming, and keep it on when showering (I'm getting ALL my steps lol!), I did have to replace it & I’m OK with that: for the price it held up better than I thought it would and if I need to replace it annually that’s just fine. I do have a smaller wrist so I’m on the last hole to buckle it in, but it still fits and looks good. Took maybe 2 days to soften the nylon as it’s pretty thick which also means durable (to be fair, the original probably broke from my boxing & heavy bag work!). I’ll definitely recommend this band and get a new one when the current one needs to be replaced.

Strong, sturdy, large enough for a man's wrist.
Love this watchband. Very sturdy. Well built. Plenty of room for larger wrists. Plenty of notches for smaller wrists. The watch pins that come with it are the correct length, but the diameter of the pins are too wide to fit into the holes in my watch. I simply reused the pins that came with my watch.

Great for the price!
Good design, love the m81. Fairly comfortable. I would say more comfortable than my factory band (garmin instinct 3). It was straight forward and easy to install. The sizing is perfect. Great for big and small wrists. This doesn’t stretch at all, so you have to find your loop hole perfectly. So overall great value for the money. However. The band had some sort of chemical or starch in the fabric, which was not apparent when first putting it on. It rubbed my wrist raw. Not something that has happened with any other band I have worn. I soaked it in hot water for a hour and let it dry and haven’t had an issue since swapping to my other wrist till my wrist heals. I would recommend to soak it before you wear it.

Great Replacement Band
These fit perfect and are very easy to replace. They give you the tool needed and takes maybe a min or two to do. This band lasted well over a year and a half of every day use between workouts, hunting, and working the garage. Would say they are just as durable as the Garmin version but much cheaper. Ordered the two pack now… should be good for another 3 years if the watch lasts that long.

Would order again
First order arrived without the pins so customer service sent me outback replacement right away and it included the pins and ejector 2nd time around. The band itself is pretty good quality and doesnt irritate my skin. Would order again

Try to keep it dry…
Excellent replacement for those icky default silicone bands. The fit is perfect, does not stretch, looks awesome, black on green, solid materials construction for every day wear. 10/10 would always recommend. Built to last…

6 month review: rugged but not ideal for daily use
6 month review for this watch strap. Pros: it’s easily the most durable option that you’ll find for your smartwatch, more so than the rubber or elastic ones. This band will likely never tear and would be good for someone maximizing ruggedness for rough wear and tear. Cons: Unfortunately the material dries slowly and can smell after daily use / sweat / exposure to water. This has ultimately led me to replace the band, as it being damp hours after getting it wet while washing my hands was a dealbreaker. Unfortunately smells due to poor drying as well. Also not the most comfortable. If you use this for sweat inducing cardio, it’ll likely stink up quickly. Summary: probably the most rugged watch band you can find, but not ideal for daily use unless you keep it dry.

Good band
Comfy, no rub, easy to wear. I very much so enjoy that even when wet the band doesn't feel uncomfortable or chaffy. The only downside, and this is a personal annoyance, is that the small band tends to slide around when under stress and the watch gets loose. Never had any real issues other than that.

Good buy and value for money
Another great purchase from Amazon. Having the 3 bands means I can always change to what I feel is suitable. Good quality bands and very comfortable to wear. Regarding smell, I avoid wearing it in the shower or getting it wet but certainly have it on during training and it has had much smell to it.
