Review on Replacement Band For Garmin Fenix 3 / Garmin Fenix 3 HR / Garmin Fenix 5X Fitness Smartwatch Accessories Watch Strap Band by Brian Price

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fits Garmin Fenix 3 HR

I've had my Fenix 3 for nearly 4 years now. I've worn it every day all day including in the shower. I've taken it through 3 tough mudders. It's an extremely resilient watch. It has a few scuffs on the bezel, but otherwise the watch itself I'd say is still in mint condition.The band however, isn't quite so lucky. I've gone through 3 or 4 of the loops that the watch tucks into. I'd just buy a new band, slide the piece off and use it on my authentic garmin band. Unfortunately, after over 3 years my band finally had enough. The space that I usually wear it in had become weekend and broke. For a couple months I made due with it being 1 notch tighter or 1 notch looser but I eventually gave up.This band is a bit more flexible than that original band. I definitely prefer the feel of the original. But for the price, this is a good substitute. Once it is on your wrist you'll barely notice a difference. Hopefully this one can last 4 years as well! (And if it does, I'll definitely up my review to 4 stars)

Pros
  • It’s a cheap version but pretty functional. Perfect for sports people that have a heavy use.
Cons
  • The band may break easily during physical activity
