Garmin Quickfit Watch Band Wearable Technology Review

Pros: - Looks good - Super light Cons: - Not the cheapest - The screws are so tight that you will damage either your screwdriver or your bracelet if you try to unscrew them. I fiddled with the heads of two (decent quality) flat head screwdrivers before giving up and stopping without damaging the links of the bracelet itself. I ended up returning the bracelet for this last reason. too much trouble

If you are performing heavy (regular) excisions be aware that sweat and rapid arm movements can cause the prong holes to crack. My group has become useless and now I can run, climb or walk. I hope this is just an issue with my particular group. In general, the strap is comfortable, but if the strap doesn't hold up, it's not worth it. I hope Garmin wants to replace it. Hope that helps. See pictures.

Although I don't think this strap costs close to $100. This is a quality strap and the leather is beautiful and smells like leather out of the box. would definitely buy a fake. After a few days, it breaks down and becomes comfortable. I didn't like that the ribbon was almost orange when I got it so I rubbed coconut oil on it to give it the color you see in the picture and it darkened. Four stars because of the price (Garmin Tax lol) and the color.

I bought these bands for my Fenix 5X and they give the watch a very different look and style! Definitely a great addition to an already fantastic device! These slate gray stainless steel (casual wear), brown leather are a nice elegant change and of course ALL the colored elastomeric straps {ALL color options} that I wear during my fitness workouts. ALL the straps arrived in the original Gramin retail packaging and they are all of the highest quality, definitely worth the price I paid for Revain

Really disappointed with this very expensive purchase. The latch does not sit flush with the strap on the left side (if you look at the latch with the Garmin words right) There is a 1/2 inch gap between the latch and the strap which causes it to catch. Due to the internal design on the right side (there's a curved, solid piece of metal) there are limits to how many links you can insert from the left side before they dig into the skin. I've tried all possible combinations and have come to the…

I love this strap and although the price may be a bit steep I would rather have this strap made by the manufacturer than the cheaper/less expensive aftermarket strap that may or may not fit not the clock right. I trust Garmin to make a strap that is strong and will hold my very beautiful Fenix 6 Sapphire securely. I almost didn't buy the strap because the review said "not worth the money". I do not agree. I'm glad I bought the bracelet because it's very comfortable and looks great. It costs…

I bought this set with high hopes. It's thick and stiff, and slightly more breathable than the silicone strap it replaced. But it's barely worth $100. Garmin is clearly chasing high-end watch lovers and believes additional fees for accessories will go unnoticed. While they are better than the IMO leather strap in terms of durability (Garmin still uses bonded leather, which should be criminal for the cost), it remains to be seen how these straps will hold up and wear down over time. It's been…

The item is listed as Fenix 5x but these bands are slightly different. They're still pretty good, but that's something to consider. Compared to the original 5x bands I actually thought they might be fake but after some inspection the shapes turned out to be so similar I'm pretty sure they're real. Garmin - the straps are slightly shorter than the normal ones (the ends are without a clasp). It still has the same number of notches, but they've been moved towards the quick release - the shape is…

I never write these reviews but felt I should do so in this situation so other people don't repeat my mistakes. The group itself is great. The DLC coating is extremely scratch resistant, comfortable, breathable and works very well on Garmin watches. Overall excellent quality. Now let's get to the downside. Resizing is terribly difficult. He took it to a watch repair shop, he tried for 20 minutes to unscrew one of the screws and gave up. I bought a cheap set of small screwdrivers and set about…
