Review on Upgrade Your Fitness Wear With NotoCity Soft Silicone Band For Compatible Garmin, Samsung And Galaxy Watches by Srivatsan Oling

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice bands but terrible connector pins

My Wife and I both ordered these bands when the original bands for our Garmin Vivoactive3 watches broke. These bands are nearly an exact reproduction and we like them. The problem (and many have commented on this already) is that the connecting pins are just a "hair" too short and that causes the band to fall off the watch. We have these watches because we are active runners, swimmers, hikers, etc. These activities are not the time to discover the short connector pin problem. Both sides of the bands came off over a week's time while I was running.The fix was relatively easy. I simply removed the pins that came with the new bands and replaces them with the original connector pins that came with our watches. I downgraded this product because the manufacturer should supple a more accurately manufactured component. Moreover, it takes a few minutes to effect the swap and if you do not have jeweler's needle nose pliers, this few minutes is going to take longer and be more frustrating.Since I swapped out the new connector pins with our old ones I have had absolutely no malfunctions. I have run at least 50 miles with this solution and the watch stayed securely on my wrist.

Pros
  • The band is compatible with Garmin, Samsung, and Galaxy watches, making it a versatile accessory for a wide range of fitness enthusiasts
Cons
  • The band may not be perfect for those who have a scent sensitivity
