🔴 WhiteRed Garmin Forerunner 920XT Replacement Band Review

I've loved my Garmin for 5 years and it still works great, the back just cracked. I've competed in several triathlons (one Ironman), swum and run hundreds of miles, ridden thousands with this watch. I was pleased to be able to change the strap (it took about 1 minute). Let's get back to training.

This is the fourth time I buy a bracelet. The first time they changed it for free as the watch is less than a year old. Since then I have had to buy a group every 6 months. Last purchase was July 2018 and the one before that was January 2018. Garmin built this very poorly and the non-Garmin strap options aren't great. So shell out $20 every 6 months if you want to keep the watch.

This is my third Garmin 920xt strap. Bought as a replacement in April 2019; failed as seen in photo, July 2020. I like a watch that has endured less than 9-15 hours a week of serious swimming, biking and running in Hawaii's hot and humid climate for several years, but the strap is rubbish. I could buy a couple of watches for less than the cost of a replacement strap, and the strap would last longer with the watch that came with it. Garmin, if you want to make a premium product at premium…
