Review on Meifox Blue Soft Silicone Replacement Bands for Garmin Vivosmart HR Watch - Compatible with Garmin Vivosmart HR Replacement Bands by Joshua Weaver

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor quality control

I bought this to replace the straps on my VivoSmart HR. The color was a little lighter than the original blue of my watch, but that wasn't a big issue. It consists of 2 parts that screw onto the main body of the watch. The piece of strap with all the holes fitted perfectly and was easy to assemble. However, the buckle part did NOT fit, and no matter how hard I tried to align it, I was unable to connect this part to the watch. It appears that the casting process did not leave enough clearance in the cavity for the part to fit properly in the watch. The two main reasons I bought this were: 1) The original watch strap was too short and this one was 2) The small silicon loop on the buckle on my original snapped so I needed a new loop. I ended up just pulling the small loop off the new part that didn't fit and clipping it onto my original part, then reattaching the original buckle to my watch. At least I now have a comfortable watch with a longer strap, but the two parts of the strap are now different colors. The parts appear solid but it is very disappointing that the fit of one of the parts was just unusable.

Pros
  • Soft and comfortable
Cons
  • No instructions
