Review on Garmin Forerunner 35 Band Soft Silicone Replacement Watch Strap - Compatible With NotoCity Smartwatch by Matt Schwartz

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 sockets. This replacement band's socket is much looser and just looking inside, looks a bit rougher, though once it is screwed in, it feels very secure. Also the "edge" of the new watch band is a bit rougher. I haven't noticed it whole wearing it, and it's not uncomfortable, but it's noticeable if you look for it. If you look at the photos for this review, you can kind of see the blue band (the replacement) has a bit of a lip on the edge as described, while the original does not. The clasp feels a little bit lighter and flimsier, but still sturdy enough for heavy use.Basically, it's still seems like a durable and functional replacement, but also a step down (both in price and quality) from the original.Also, not a good or bad thing necessarily, but be aware the strap is a bit longer than the original.
