Strap is longer than original

This was very easy to install. I like that it came with two strap loops because that is what broke on my original causing me to have to replace it. It feels comfortable, and I really like the grey. The only thing I don't love is that it is longer than my original strap. I wore that one on hole 10, and this one on hole 14. So the excess strap does wrap around way more than the original did; you can see what I mean in the attached picture.

Pros
  • Good quality, easy to switch with the old band, working perfectly.
Cons
  • May discolor over time and/or with exposure to sunlight

Don't listen to the bad reviews, this is perfect

I have never written an Walmart review but after reading the bad reviews for this one I felt compelled! Save your money and don't bother with the Garmin band that costs 1/3 of the price of the watch! Bonkers! Also this one comes in fun colors. This was a breeze to install, just read the instructions. I can't speak to the wear of the band as I've only had it a week but it was easy to switch out the old band and I'm loving the snappy red (and the money I saved!)

Pros
  • I used the band on my Garmin golf GPS watch. It fit perfectly and easy to install.
Cons
  • Limited color options available

Great Watchband best in my review

My original band for my Garmin Forerunner 35 broke and I needed a replacement. Loved all the color choices. Got the mint green one and it came with the band, a screwdriver, screws and simple instructions. It literally took 2 minutes to replace my broken band and this one looks great and is comfortable. Very happy!

Pros
  • Loved that I took off the band I had and placed it right on with new band. Plus it came with screws!!
Cons
  • May cause discomfort during activities that require bending or twisting the wrist

Easy, fits perfectly

This is super easy to install, hardware included. It is a little longer than my original wristband that broke, but it also came with two of the little loops to hold down the access band. I was really pleased to see that since that's the part which broke on my original one, and really the whole reason I needed a replacement. I went with slate grey, I really like it. Would buy again.

Pros
  • Super easy to switch out and has held up for several months
Cons
  • Package was missing the screws, which is actually what I really needed.

Same mold as stock: my feedback

Same texture and geometry as Garmin's own strap; likely made with the same mold. Two keepers instead of one, which is a plus in my book. Even bigger plus is the fact that the buckle is actually black as opposed to Garmin's eyesore silver. The material is not flimsy at all, it's actually a tad stiffer than stock.Why did I knock one star off? For the color, but that's just my personal preference. On a product photo, the color is somewhat muted orange, while in reality it's a mad fluorescent rave…

Pros
  • Going for green next.
Cons
  • May cause itching due to the silicone material

Everything you need

It helps if you actually read the text. I did not and was pleasantly surprised when this came with screws and a screw driver. Great fit and easy to swap out the bands.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • May require frequent cleaning and maintenance to prevent buildup and odor

Incredibly Easy to Install

I was amazed by how easy it was to install this watch band. My Forerunner 35's band broke in my sleep one night, and I'm very grateful for this easy fix. Everything you need is included: the band, new screws and a screwdriver. It comes with easy to follow instructions on how to install the band based on different scenarios of where the band broke. I had the old band off and the new band on in under five minutes. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • slate
Cons
  • Not a suitable replacement band for people who engage in water activities

Better than the Garmin band!

This band has exceeded my expectations! I've had it more than a few months now - super durable. Easy to install. And it seems to be better quality than the Garmin one, oddly enough. When I am running and need to adjust the length of the band, I can do this one one-handed while running. For the Garmin band, I needed to stop running and push my wrist into my body and use my other hand to adjust the band on my Garmin band. (Ok, I know that will make no sense to anyone not a runner - lol. Runners…

Pros
  • Perfect tool to repair your Garmin wrist band
Cons
  • May slip off the wrist during intense activities

Worse than OEM, but usable.

The Good: Lots of color choices, rubber is well textured, comes with screws and screwdriver, a lot cheaper than the official Garmin replacement band.The Bad: Clearly this is an inferior product compared to the original and lots of small corners are cut, but nothing that's a deal breaker. The socket that attaches to the main watch body does not have nearly as snug a fit -- with my original band, the band would stay in place even with the screws removed due to the precision tolerances in the…

Pros
  • I liked everything about it.
Cons
  • May cause allergic reactions in some users

As a watch collector, allow me to refute some other negative reviews, like it doesn't fit.WRONG. Follow the directions (which could be better). Yes, it will not fit if you don't remove the white strap interface. Mine came off with the old strap no problem, so all I did was slip new strap into watch case end and insert with screw. It was really nice they included the special tool and extra screws.I bought this because the keeper on the original strap just broke, leaving the strap end sticking…

Pros
  • Notice:some customers may meet the problem that there is a piece of hard plastic blocking the end of the strap. This is due to the fact that the previous white metal part is broken and remains at the interface of the strap. You only need to screw off the white part by the screwdrivers we provide and the strap can be installed normally.
Cons
  • Limited support from the manufacturer for issues or defects

Fits Garmin Forerunner 35

Perfect fit and replacement. No complaints. The micro tool also functioned flawlessly during removal of old band and installation of the new one.

Pros
  • It took only 10 minutes and I have a new Garman watch band.
Cons
  • Limited durability over time

Works fine. People don’t know how to follow instructions.

I’ve only ever left one review in the hundreds and hundreds of items I’ve purchased on Walmart over the years. Felt the need to clear up all the negative reviews I read before I cautiously purchased this replacement band. If your band broke off and the white plastic piece is still there, grab some pliers and remove the white part. Take this replacement band and put it in place, use the screws and screwdriver that come with the kit and screw on the new band. Screws are a bit tiny so it took my…

Pros
  • The band is easy to clean and maintain, making it ideal for those who lead an active lifestyle
Cons
  • Not a suitable option for people with a history of skin infections or irritations

A big improvement over the original S10 band

I've held off rating this band until after a few weeks of summer use. The band is much more comfortable than the original and is of better quality. The original band did not make it through the summer before the band separated from the mounting clip.

Pros
  • Band was easy to install. No issues at all
Cons
  • Limited design options available

Wristband was to small for me

Very attractive . took some time to learn how to work this. The wristband was to small for me and I ordered a separate band that was larger , which wasn’t to much larger.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Not a suitable option for people with wrist injuries or conditions

Great service best in my review

I bought the wrist bands and the screwdriver that came with is stripped, before I was able to finish replacing them. (This is good, as it is better to strip the driver than the screws).I contacted the company and, without questions, I had a whole new set in two days. Really great service!The strap on the bottom of the watch runs a bit long, but not biggie.Be gentle with the screwdriver.

Pros
  • Easy to install and the perfect fit as seen in the photo for instructions!
Cons
  • Takes time to get used to the texture and feel of the band

This watch band is an almost perfect match for the original.

I purchased a black band to replace the broken band on my Garmin Forerunner 35. I expected to replace both the broken point band and the unbroken bucket band. However, the match was so good that I only replaced the broken point band. The replacement process was simple to do. The watch looks great with 2 different bands. Great value. Great product.

Pros
  • Sports & Handheld GPS
Cons
  • May snag on clothing or other items due to the silicone material's texture

Good quality replacement band

Very pleased with the watch band. It's quality is just as good as the original in my opinion. It fits the Forerunner 35 perfectly, and is not loose or insecure. I used the original screws, but the ones that came with it seemed just as good. The included tool works fine, but you must press hard enough to prevent stripping the screw. If you take off the original band and a hard white plastic piece remains, you must get that part off too. That is part of the original band that broke when you…

Pros
  • Great replacement
Cons
  • May become loose and slide around the wrist during physical activities

Great Band replacement for Foreunner 35

The band was shipped quickly and accurate. What I like is the double little bands that keep the strap from flopping around. This is perfect! The original band only comes with one and that is what broke on the original watch band. Comes with torx driver and extra screws. You may need a higher end torx drive just in case the screws are stripped. The torx driver provided is a bit softer tip and one of my screws was stripped. I had to remove last screw with needle nose pliers. Other than that the…

Pros
  • Wireless
Cons
  • May cause irritation for users with sensitive skin

Great watch band best in my review

Really like the watch band, it feels good and looks good.Maybe even feels better than the original.Perfect fit.Bolted right on

Pros
  • The soft, flexible material allows for a comfortable fit during sleep tracking
Cons
  • May cause skin inflammation or rashes over time

Great deal in my review

It was very inexpensive and fit great. I only used one piece, because the other band on my watch was in good shape. The two pieces look and work well together. Now to see how it holds up.

Pros
  • Running GPS Units
Cons
  • Limited flexibility and adjustability over time
