Review on πŸ“² Enhance Your Garmin Device with the New Quickfit Watch Band! by Shannon Cool

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Definitely good but slightly different than standard 5x straps

Listed as Fenix 5x but these straps are slightly different. They're still pretty good, but that's something to consider. Compared to the original 5x bands I actually thought they might be fake but after some inspection the shapes turned out to be so similar I'm pretty sure they're real. Garmin - the straps are slightly shorter than the normal ones (the ends are without a clasp). It still has the same number of notches, but they've been moved towards the quick release - the shape is thinner than the original (and a slightly different shape too, which I don't think matters). This will stretch the strap and it will also deviate slightly from the standard strap. I would have preferred the standard band gauge, but it's pretty much the bare minimum. Everything else is good and comparable to the standard 5x strips, but the color is a bit different in real life. Certainly a bit darker and blurry as people have reported. I've noticed that every time I photograph groups they look exactly like they do in stock photos, so maybe that wasn't intentional, but it's still something to be aware of. I would consider deducting stars because it's so damn expensive. I'm not sure what it costs to just change the color of the strap, but you decide the cost.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Very expensive
