Review on KikiLuna Replacement Forerunner Wristband Screwdriver by Heather Brown

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Difficult to replace strap

I ordered a new strap for my Garmin Forerunner 35 because my original blue strap came loose from the base and screws. When I received the new purple strap, it didn't match the exposed white base that was still attached to my Garmin. In the middle of the purple stripe is a plastic stick. After trying to cut and pull it out, I was able to find more reviews and guides online. You must remove the white part before attaching a new band. I managed to gently pry it off with a small screwdriver. Then the new strip came up normally. The screws were the next problem. They are very small and easy to remove. I screwed the screws in about halfway with the included hand screwdriver. I then had to use my drill carefully to get them all the way out. After taking everything apart I found that the blue strip was not torn, it was no longer attached to the white part that attached it to the base of the Garmin. In the future when that happens I think I'll just tape it back. It would be a lot easier than changing the whole group. As for the new band, it's very similar to my original band in terms of duration and mood. I just put it on so time will tell if it holds up.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competition
