Cute, Good Quality so far

Looks and feels good. No problems with assembly. I'm 1 month in and very pleased. Great purchase at a good price. That's my review!

Pros
  • Very good quality, the nylon is holding up very good after one year and the metal straps are strong
Cons
  • Only compatible with Garmin Fenix 3 and 5X

Very good quality and looks

I got this for my Garmin Fenix 3 HR Titanium watch since I just didn't like the look of the linked titanium band. This band came with the torx driver tools needed to replace the old band but no extra screws or pins. Warning: replace the band on a nice surface so as not to lose the tiny screws that secure the pins of the watch band. I've had the watch for a week and used this twice swimming and so far happy with the feel, quality, and look of the band.

Pros
  • Match very well
Cons
  • May not provide enough support during strenuous activities

Can't beat it for the price

Good replacement band for my Felix 3, it does feel thinner that the original, but it's just $6 dlls, it is a great value, easy to install and the tools are also great and easy to use, tou won't find a better deal for the price, good value so fat on the 1st day 😀 👍🏼

Pros
  • Very comfortable with great flexibility
Cons
  • The band may not last as long as the watch itself

Nearly identical. Good match.

The new band is identical to the old one except for the clasp, which is a much lighter color. Instead of a brushed platinum color, this one is just a plain, bright aluminum color. It was easy enough to swap out the clasps with the included tools though!

Pros
  • Factory fit and super easy to replace! My watch is good as new.
Cons
  • Feels and looks a bit cheaper than the original band but it is soft and seems to work well enough.

fit my fenix 3 and got it back on my wrist

Thankfully this came fast and fit so I could get back to using my Fenix 3. I had to take it over to the watch jeweler because the screws on my watch just would not come out but that appears to be more of an old watch than new band issue.

Pros
  • Good value a bit tricky to install.
Cons
  • Not worth the investment for some users

So so alternative: my feedback

I bought this set for the watch band catch, as my original one broke. This one fits loosely and doesn't hold very snuggly. Watch band pops out regularly. My advice, but the real Garmin's replacement band and skip the hastle.

Pros
  • VERY GOOD
Cons
  • Limited availability in certain countries or regions

Great product, great price.

Great product. Great price. Fixed my Garmin on the cheap with this set and it’s holding up great six months later. The band cracked after 3 years. That''s long enough for me. I just bought my second one.!

Pros
  • The band cracked after 3 years. That's long enough for me. I just bought my second one.
Cons
  • Limited color options

Great replacement for my opinion

Item arrived as expected, fantastic replacement looks, feels and is as original. very easy to fit (comes with tools) and looks fantastic. Definitely recommend.. Buy with confidence from seller!

Pros
  • very easy to fit (comes with tools) and looks fantastic. Definitely recommend.
Cons
  • The band may attract dust and dirt

Good, cheap alternative to original Garmin band

For the cost, I'll keep buying this band for my Garmin Fenix instead of the original band sold by Garmin. That one is harder to find and usually cost about 4 to 5 times more. This band is comfortable, fits the watch well, and is a lot cheaper to replace when it breaks. The only complaint I have is with the free loop/ring that holds the strap after it goes through the buckle. That piece is too loose and tends to slide off, leaving the strap just hanging loose (other than the buckle which does…

Pros
  • Surprisingly effective!
Cons
  • May not be the best choice for users looking for a more fashionable option

Great Band! good for me

Great quality and price! The new band is just as comfortable as the original. I'm very pleased with the entire experience!

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • May limit the functionality of the watch

Broken. Only wore watch once, have to buy another band.

I dropped my watch once, and the metal pin and clasp came out. I tried repairing it in my garage, but I don't have the proper tools. Guess I'll be looking for another.

Pros
  • Super easy to replace and arrived sooner than expected.
Cons
  • Limited compatibility with other Garmin accessories

Poor quality product

The band is broken within a week of purchase. Almost lost my watch during a morning run. Would not recommend. Thanks for attention!

Pros

Cons
  • Limited repair options

Feel is Not as Good as Original, but Stronger?

The material is definitely more rigid and not as pliable as the OEM Garmin band which makes it not quite as comfortable. It is NOT uncomfortable by any means, just not as comfy as the original. Having said that, it seems to be more durable than the original. Time will tell if the added rigidity of the material makes it brittle over the or actually helps but after 6 months it is still perfect so it was worth every penny of the price. Even if it breaks after a year, I would much rather spend a…

Pros
  • Way more flexible than the stock band, I highly recommend it.
Cons
  • May require special tools to install

6 month shelf life on my review.

Metal clasp caused skin irritation on my wrist and within 6 months the clasp pin had flexed enough so the band won’t latch anymore and watch falls off while wearing.

Pros
  • Perfect replacement !
Cons
  • Limited style options compared to other smartwatch bands

Almost as good good for me

It feels a little flimsier than the original, but it's also 1/5th the price.I've been using it daily including on runs for over a month and it seems to be holding up.For now, I'd recommend.

Pros
  • It’s a cheap version but pretty functional. Perfect for sports people that have a heavy use.
Cons
  • The band may not match your personal style

Better than the original band

This band is much more comfortable than the original. The plastic is softer and stays in place better, which means I don't have to tighten the hell out of it to get it to stay in place on my wrist.

Pros
  • Works
Cons
  • May not be worth the extra expense for some users

Easy to change out!

This is the third time we’ve ordered this because my husband goes through them so quickly!Easy change out! May require frequent washing to prevent sweat buildup.

Pros
  • Fit my Fenix 3 HR. Near exact as original band
Cons
  • May require frequent washing to prevent sweat buildup

Perfect replacement

Always skeptical of replacement parts but this was exactly what I needed. I am pretty active and it has held up well. Comes with all the tools to install. Very easy.

Pros
  • Be careful when changing the band. The little screw that comes out is easy to lose!
Cons
  • Reduced breathability compared to some other watch bands

Fell Apart and Lost 1 Piece Within Less Than Week

Just like the title stated. It fell apart in less than one week. The metal piece that is adjacent to the latch fell of. I have no clue as to where. I will need to order another one. Hope I can find a different manufacturer. Wondering if I can return this one. But I no longer have the original packaging. Returning this one is likely more trouble than it is worth.

Pros
  • Works, easy install
Cons
  • May not be as durable as some other watch bands

The item does not last nearly as ling as it should!

This item broke within the second week of use. This is actually the third time I’ve ordered this same item within a year and I wouldn’t recommend itTo anyone. The material seems to cheap because the band hold keeps breaking within a year.

Pros
  • Seems to be lasting well, good quality.
Cons
  • May be too bulky for some users
