Review on C2D Joy Compatible Band for Garmin Vivoactive 3 (Music) and Vivomove (HR) - Quick Release Spring Bar, Sport Mesh Nylon Weave Watchband for Sports - S/M by Cedric Ford

After wearing a new strap, when you get a new strap like this, it will be dirty and not very pretty. I don't recommend wearing it as often as I do. Do as this color shows dirt easily, go for a darker color if you intend to wear it regularly like I did. The last update also added new photos of the fixed issue: the issue was the release pins, like the ones that come with the original vivoactive active 3, don't fit this strap. When I received this I was not receiving the trip pins and tried to put my original trip pins in this strap which doesn't work. C2D Joy sent me pins that fit my Garmin vivoactive 3 and a replacement band. I like it! Below is the problem I had when I first received this replacement strap: I love this color and when I saw this strap for vivoactive 3 I was so happy even though it was a bit expensive and I was willing to pay . The strap was small enough for my wrist, which was a plus, but most importantly, unlike the silicone strap, the material is breathable and leaves a mark on me, so finding something that allows my skin to breathe was very important. Again this was my favorite color and everything on the website was so perfect. I then received the item and the pins made for the vivoactive 3 will not fit the pin area of this strap rendering the product useless and do not force it and ruin the trigger pin as I almost did. Just don't buy the vivoactive 3. The release pins for the vivoactive 3 are 20mm quick release spring pins and the release pin area on this replacement band is likely to be a size smaller. First update: Contact C2D JOY seller and tell them it is not suitable for Garmin vivoactive 3 release pins. And they replied me saying that they will discuss this problem with their engineer and form a new group will. I couldn't be happier. I have to say that instead of just coming back and forgetting about me, the wonderful seller was quick to respond and found a solution. I'm so excited. Thank you C2D JOY.
