Review on Enhance Your Garmin Watch with Quickfit - Stylish and Convenient Watch Bands by Michael Schafer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Definitely good but a little different than standard 5x bands

Listed as Fenix 5x but these bands are a little 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'd prefer a standard tape thickness, but it's more or less minimal. Everything else is good and comparable to standard 5x strips, but in real life the color is a bit different. 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 worth paying attention to. 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. so it may have been unintentional, but it's worth mentioning nonetheless.
