Glad to see a more solid buckle

I have 2 of these bands, one came with the watch when I bought it used from someone. I was very nervous at the prospect of losing my watch as there was a SMALL piece of metal holding the clasp. It's just a friction-fit stylus and a fraction of the diameter of Garmin-branded wristbands. I don't understand why Garmin charges such high prices for their straps as they are nothing special, just a silicone strap. I just can't justify 50€ for it. I've looked for replacements but they all seem to have a lightweight latch design which I'm not a fan of. I noticed that they changed the buckle post on this strap to a Garmin copy, a bolt-on style that is much larger but is currently only available with the black strap. I think the intention is to offer other colors with this style clasp in the future, so I'll probably buy more, especially at a reasonable price.

Pros
  • GPS finder and accessories
Cons
  • Expensive
