Review on 🌈 ANCOOL Replacement Band for Garmin Instinct Smartwatches - Soft Silicone Sport Watch Band in Black/Grey by Rodney Harris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality cheap replacement strap for Instinct

Bought to replace the original Garmin strap as both loops hold the extra strap after the buckle broke after 2 years and it is on the Garmin website there are no tundra colors. . I have an Instinct with a tundra dial and this strap matches the color perfectly, the black accents in the buckle holes are a nice touch. Installation is very simple, but it doesn't involve a pin that goes through the bracelet and attaches to the watch case. , so if your pin is broken/bent, be aware (pins just slip out of the old band and fit into this channel). The straps are the same length and width but the buckle and holes are a bit larger and further apart than the Garmin strap so there aren't many sizing options but it's not a big deal, still fits well and ranges from very small to very large. When I first put it on it was a lot stiffer than a 2 year old Garmin band, but after about 2 weeks it loosens up (I only take the watch off when it needs to be charged). I'm sure after some use it will be as flexible and comfortable as the old one. Good option at almost a third the price of the Garmin brand, originally bought as a temporary but likely to keep using it until it breaks. Hope it lasts a few years too
