Compatible With Garmin Watch Band, Super Rugged Nylon Sports Strap With Woven Loop Design, For Fenix/Forerunner/Approach/MARQ/Quatix/D2 Series Tough Replacement Band For Men

This brand and strap style for my three Garmin watches is the best I've tried. Full stop. They are built very well and feel very high quality. I like variety in many things and watches with strap colors is among them. I prefer this style as it lends me the ability to adjust the fit to my exact preference and not be stuck on one hole or the other, longing for one in the middle. It also lets my hot natured skin breath better than the typical included rubbery strap. The hardware is solid and the "velcro" is high quality with the newest construction that does not pill or fray. It does not loosen when wet. It maintains it dry performance in all environments. The attachment point to the watch is tooless and precise with no appreciable side to side play and has plenty of articulation inward to fit smaller wrists. I chose the large sized length and you can see how much room for tightening I still have. Perhaps the smaller one would result in less black showing on the inside wrist portion, but that doesn't concern me. Conversely, there is enough slack outward to move about a half inch larger if I needed. This 26mm wide version fits my three Garmin watches perfectly so I can easily swap it back and forth as desired depending on watch and strap choice for the day(s). I can't recommend this brand and style enough. If you find you value some of the same qualities I mentioned in this write up, don't keep looking, this is the one.

I'm really impressed with the ease of changing the watchband, no tools are needed. This speaks to both the way Garmin engineered the watch for easy watchband interchangeability, and how Hemsut made a metallic locking mechanism to connect the watchband, seeming more durable than the OEM Garmin watchband, which is made of some kind of rubber-like polymer. The metallic buckle fastener on the OEM Garmin watchband has been rustproof after 3 years heavy use, and it remains to be seen whether the Hemsut watchband components have the same ability. I'm also not sure about Hemsut durability and how long it will hold up.After 3 years almost to the date, the original watchband (OEM) that came with the Garmin purchase proved to be rustproof at best, but overall, it was not durable. In fact, undurable watchbands have been a constant feature of the three Garmin watches I've owned. I'm thoroughly convinced that Garmin makes top-of-the-line smartwatches but all have poor watchband quality, which means that on my next Garmin purchase I will be sure to also shop for a more durable watchband as a complimentary item. Perhaps that watchband will be a Hemsut, because OEM Garmin watchbands are really not that good. I only give 2 of 5 stars for OEM Garmin watchbands.That being said, from the viewpoint of a brand new watchband this Hemsut is outstanding. I'm happy with it thus far and it remains to be seen whether or not it has the durability I'm looking for. This wouldn't be an issue if Garmin made better watchbands in the first place.

Have had the strap for a week now. I have 14.5 miles of running with this. No stain like some people have claimed. Zero smells, I simply rinse it after my runs.I do wish the strap was about another inch longer so the soft velcro would be covered more. The vibration alert does sound loud due to the metal connector that connects to the bars vibrating against each other. I did see where one user cut the metal connectors on the strap and ran the watch bar through the nylon hoop instead to help with the vibration noise. May do that in the future.Overall, I like it. I’ve looked at many straps before going with this and one. This one seems to best fit my needs.
