Review on ANCOOL Flame Red/Black Silicone Sport Band: Compatible with Garmin Instinct Tide/Esports/Solar/Tactical Smartwatches by Mark Adams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality good value replacement strap for Insight

Purchased to replace the original Garmin strap due to both loops holding the additional strap after the buckle broke after 2 years and up Garmin's website is out of stock. Tundra color options. I have an Instinct with a tundra dial and this strap is a perfect color match, the black accents in the buckle holes are a nice touch. Installation is very simple, but it doesn't involve a pin that goes through the bracelet and attaches to the watch case. , so if your pin is broken/bent, be aware (pins just slip out of the old band and fit into this channel). The straps are equal in length and width, But the buckle and holes are a little bigger and further apart than the Garmin strap so not many size options but it's not a big deal, still fits well and goes from extra small to extra large. When I first put it on it was a lot stiffer than a 2 year old Garmin band, but after about 2 weeks it loosens up (I only take the watch off when it needs to be charged). I'm sure after some use it will be as flexible and comfortable as the old one. Good option at almost a third the price of the Garmin brand, originally bought as a temporary but likely to keep using it until it breaks. I hope it lasts a few years too.
