📱 NotoCity Garmin Forerunner 645/245 Band - 20mm Soft Silicone Replacement Strap for Vivoactive 3 Music, Vívomove HR, and Forerunner 645/245 Music Smartwatch Review

The orange in the photo is much more muted than the shocking fluorescent orange in reality. It's not exactly what I wanted or what I feel as described in the photo but it will do.

I'm so upset I have to return this. It fits my small wrist perfectly! The material from which it is made is pleasant to the touch. However, the clasps that connect it to my watch are not as long as on the original strap. Every time I give my watch a light nudge, it detaches and the watch falls off.

Nice and soft - I've been through several of these secondary straps and this one is the closest to the original strap I've tried in terms of softness and flexibility. It also comes with two hinges and since that's usually the first thing to do it's really nice to have two.

This is an exact replica of the original strap right down to the triangular "Garmin" logo on the clasp. While they probably should have left that part out, the band fits and feels right perfectly. Someone mentioned that this involves two loops to control the end of the belt. Only one has a tooth inside to keep it from moving during use.

Garmin straps are ridiculously expensive. I've tried these brands on my Fenix 5 before and they seemed a bit stretchy for this watch so I spent an extra $$ on this watch. bought a 245 lighter (with music) and tried the Notocity strips again. They were great and for the price I chose a few different colors to mix things up from time to time. The quality of these watches is almost indistinguishable from OEM Garmin. Thumbs up.

Although it is made of silicone rubber, it is still not the same as Garmin. It feels a little firmer than the Garmin. In general, this does not detract from its comfort. I wear my watch 24/7 except for charging. The biggest problem I had was the strap slipping off the loops on the watch strap. The Garmin version only has one loop and has no problem keeping the strap in place. This version has two loops which I assume are intended to solve this problem, but they aren't perfect. I would say that…

I bought this tape 1 year ago. The only reason I came back to write a review is that I will be ordering another strap in a different color so I have a choice! This range actually lasted longer than the original range of my Garmin 645. It was really a shame when my 9 month old "new" watch strap broke. I needed one urgently and this brand was delivered the next day so I took a chance. It arrived just in time for my race and I was surprised at the good quality. It's been a year and this band…
