Best upgrade to my Garmin 5S Plus

Love the feel and look of my Garmin now. The OEM silicone band just didn't fit 100% right. Plus, the outer coating of the silicone (which gives it matte finish) started to wear off not even into month of owning my watch. Now, I will admit I am hard on my watches, I'm a mechanic and work on everything from cars to widebody aircrafts. So naturally my watches are subjected to harsh chemicals, abrasion, and impact. But I should probably get on with this review and talk about the watch band.Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Is it titanium? I would say a portion of it is. Is the band super light? I wouldn't go that far. I suspect the clasp and end links are stainless steel while the body links are titanium (which is how most watch Maker's build their watch bands, just ask Casio) so there's a little bit of weight. But I feel the balance is very good overall.The color is awesome! The matte fit and finish compliments the watch very nicely. Is it durable? I frankly just don't know. I just put the watch band on last night and haven't really exposed it to my work environment. By the looks of things, the band is just painted (where the lower purchase price of the band comes into play), not electroplated. So I'm sure here in the next couple of weeks, I'm going to see some wear. Thus, why I gave it 3 stars for durability.And lastly, sizing this watch band is not tough as some others have suggested. It's not the best, but with some patience, links can be removed fairly easy. What I do love, LOVE, about the band is the different size links. It allows the watch band to be honed in on your wrist size, allowing the perfect fit. So I gave adjustment 4 stars.All in all, 5 stars for the band. Hopefully the finish will prove to be more durable then my initial evaluation. But time will tell.
