Review on πŸ“Ÿ Soft Silicone Replacement Watch Band for Garmin Vivomove 3 / Vivomove Luxe/Vivomove Style/Venu/Vivomove/Vivomove HR Sport Style (20mm Width) - QGHXO Band (No Tracker) by Tammy Sims

Revainrating 3 out of 5

not as durable as brand name

I was glad to get these as they have different colored straps and even the clasps are color matched to the strap. This was also a selling point for me as I have rose gold fittings which not many brands offer. I tried them as soon as I received them. They were very easy to install/attach. A day later I noticed that the pens are not as strong as the Garmin brand. It came off easily when I dried my wrists after washing my hands. I only took it because I was a bit fast and rough with it. Got it back together easily but then it went on as I drove during my period. I tried different color bars to see if maybe it was just one specific bar, but it happened to all the ones I tried. Even as I got off the couch, as I pushed off where my wrist flexed, the pressure this created pushed the prongs so far that they popped out of my wrist. After visually comparing the metal push pins, I noticed that the Garmin brand was slightly thicker, which I believe is necessary to be strong enough to hold the band during normal tasks, especially physical exertion. Unfortunately, these groups do not withstand active or even "normal" activities. The straps feel solid and the fit is decent, I have a small wrist but they seem perfect for a medium wrist. I wanted to love them as the color variety is great but the durability of the metal pins keeps me away from them and even being able to use them.

Pros
  • clasps, bracelets and bangles
Cons
  • There are new competitors
