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

This brand and strap style for my three Garmin watches is the best I've tried. Full stop. They are built very well and feel very high quality. I like variety in many things and watches with strap colors is among them. I prefer this style as it lends me the ability to adjust the fit to my exact preference and not be stuck on one hole or the other, longing for one in the middle. It also lets my hot natured skin breath better than the typical included rubbery strap. The hardware is solid and the "velcro" is high quality with the newest construction that does not pill or fray. It does not loosen when wet. It maintains it dry performance in all environments. The attachment point to the watch is tooless and precise with no appreciable side to side play and has plenty of articulation inward to fit smaller wrists. I chose the large sized length and you can see how much room for tightening I still have. Perhaps the smaller one would result in less black showing on the inside wrist portion, but that doesn't concern me. Conversely, there is enough slack outward to move about a half inch larger if I needed. This 26mm wide version fits my three Garmin watches perfectly so I can easily swap it back and forth as desired depending on watch and strap choice for the day(s). I can't recommend this brand and style enough. If you find you value some of the same qualities I mentioned in this write up, don't keep looking, this is the one.

The media could not be loaded. Why I bought: I needed to replace my stock silicone band as it was giving me urticaria. I came across this brand and decided to try it out.Value: 5/5 - compared to other similar products, this one is well pricedWhat I like: It's 100% adjustable to the size of your wrist. The stock silicone ones you can only adjust based on the hole location, where this one you can put it as tight or loose as you desire. There's a good selection of colors as well. I like that they have solid colors. Other ones I've seen have black but then like a different colored tag which looked tacky. I also don't get any rashes or itchy areas and I use this for mountain biking and many activities.Room for improvement: At least for mine, the edge of the velcro is slightly sharp and I've scratched my daughter a few times just from picking her up.Final take: This is a well priced, quality watch band for users who are active and want to avoid the itchy areas that can be caused by silicone material.

I'm really impressed with the ease of changing the watchband, no tools are needed. This speaks to both the way Garmin engineered the watch for easy watchband interchangeability, and how Hemsut made a metallic locking mechanism to connect the watchband, seeming more durable than the OEM Garmin watchband, which is made of some kind of rubber-like polymer. The metallic buckle fastener on the OEM Garmin watchband has been rustproof after 3 years heavy use, and it remains to be seen whether the Hemsut watchband components have the same ability. I'm also not sure about Hemsut durability and how long it will hold up.After 3 years almost to the date, the original watchband (OEM) that came with the Garmin purchase proved to be rustproof at best, but overall, it was not durable. In fact, undurable watchbands have been a constant feature of the three Garmin watches I've owned. I'm thoroughly convinced that Garmin makes top-of-the-line smartwatches but all have poor watchband quality, which means that on my next Garmin purchase I will be sure to also shop for a more durable watchband as a complimentary item. Perhaps that watchband will be a Hemsut, because OEM Garmin watchbands are really not that good. I only give 2 of 5 stars for OEM Garmin watchbands.That being said, from the viewpoint of a brand new watchband this Hemsut is outstanding. I'm happy with it thus far and it remains to be seen whether or not it has the durability I'm looking for. This wouldn't be an issue if Garmin made better watchbands in the first place.

I've had this band for several months, went on easy, very comfortable, and is super durable. But, if you exercise on a daily basis I do not recommend this band because it starts to stink and washing it, soaking it, disinfecting it, whatever, doesn't penetrate the material. Ive wiped it off after every workout since I got it and washed it at least weekly, and I just can't get it to stop smelling weird. Also the Velcro starts to loosen up after a while but you can just trim it down and it looks/works fine.

Very well made strap, sits comfortably on my wrist. Have to say, for active sports and outdoors I like it even more than the Garmin silicon bands that the watch came with. The manufacturing quality is great, strap fits tightly into the quick fit slot and looks great.

Super happy with this watch band. I found the original watchband on my Garmin Instinct 2S was bruising me while sleeping and even had left me with some scarring. I was really upset about it because I love the Garmin watch. Took to Reddit and saw this band getting recommended. I wish I didn't wait so long to look for an alternative... this band fixed EVERYTHING. I was impressed with the quality when I opened the packaging. Installation was a breeze. It is SO comfortable. The watch doesn't try to rotate around my wrist anymore, no bruising, and it looks great with the watch. It's a little stiff at first (giggity), but it so formed well to my worst and it felt broken in after just an hour or two. The adjustability is something I've always needed/wanted. Somehow, no matter the band, I felt like the right size was somewhere between the holes (giggity no. 2). I'm definitely going to order more of these for some color variety. Love this product, highly recommend, I never want to go back to a traditional watch band ever again.
