Abanen Rugged Nylon Watch Bands for Garmin Fenix 8 51mm / Enduro/Instinct 2X / epix Pro 51mm, Adjustable Sports Wrist Strap with Stainless Steel Clasp for Fenix 7X / 6X /5X, Instinct 3 50mm

Good quality. It's a little stiff. Easy to install. Does not stretch at all. Fits well. Looks great on Fenix 7x Pro Solar with the storm white body and silver bezel. Looks really really good. Because of the black plastic clips, it also looks good on the all black EPIC Pro. You have to take it off when showering, otherwise you will have to deal with a wet strap for a few hours.

Bought this replacement for my mk3i 51mm, any another one for my daughter's 43mm. And so far I'm impressed with the quality, and weight, it's more on the stiffer side but not like overbearing or hard to adjust, it's not like the original silicone band that comes with the mk3i, it's not rubbery or stretchy. It feels comfortable for me. And looks and feels as natural as the original band that comes with the unit. Now I've had the Mk1, Mk2i and now the mk3i and man each one continues to blow me away if you are in the multi activity lifestyle and dive, it's the only watch for you, price is ridiculous, and no! my pocket aren't deep. I just prioritize well. It's 2024 what isn't unreasonably through the roof now a days? from physical therapy, fitness, to entertainment, to home decode, to fashion anything thst associated with quality, durability, functionality, reliability and has reputation is expected to be expensive, from a Ps5 pro, any decent headset, to popular fragrance, hair/skin care, to a any decent pair of running shoes.. But none the less if you can afford to purchase the unit, its worth it. You really have to look hard to find faults and dislikes. But one issue i've had was the hole on the band straps eventually breaks from continuous use and stretching. So hence why I changed my band immediately. And these seem more rigged and durable, so let's see how long it holds up.

Super easy to remove and put on. Very comfortable, but I will say the band is still rigid since the date of my purchase. It slipped off a couple times but it's been good ever since. It's a great fit. Rigid and not very stretchy.

Great and comfortable fit. The orange color is holding up real nice as well. Cannot do latex bands anymore, so this is a great (and much better) alternative

I bought this when the silicone band that came with my Garmin Fēnix 7X cracked where the buckle prong enters the hole in the strap, which only took about a year. I've had this band for 5 months now, and there is no sign of impending failure. It still looks new. The strap fit the watch perfectly and was very easy to install--no tools necessary, not even a paper clip. It was comfortable from the first, but has improved as I've worn it. I exercise and sweat while wearing the watch. Every so often, the strap begins to show salt residue. When it does, I just rinse it off and pad it as dry as I can with a cloth, then wear it slightly damp. In a short while, the strap is dry and looks like new again. Being waterproof, the watch is not affected by the rinsing. If I were to buy a new watch with a silicone band, I would wait until the band failed, because I find the original to be plenty comfortable. When it inevitably failed, I'd replace it with one of these again. Highly recommended!

Update 2: I finally figured out the band (any band) is not the issue with the sometimes erratic heart rate display. The real issue, caused by this band or the OEM Garmin band, is the location on my wrist. I have relatively thin arms and when the watch is placed immediately below the wrist bone into a bonier part of the wrist- my normal watch wear point, the HR sensor has a harder time accurately displaying. If I place the watch immediately above the protruding wrist bone , the displayed HR is consistently what I would expect it to be, based upon experience. Update: After several weeks of wear and a note of experience: I still like this band a lot as it has quality construction and the color is a closer match to my skin color than other bands. This band is on a 51mm Epix 2 Pro Sapphire, which is a larger watch on my 158# medium frame. I am up in age, exercise daily by fast walking and cycling in a very hilly area and have found the displayed heart rate will tend to fluctuate and read higher than expected at some times during my exercising. Comparing and testing variances with this to my wife's smaller and lighter weight Garmin 165 using its standard Garmin stretchy silicone band, wearing on the same arm at the same time as my Epix, I find the 165 has a more consistent heart rate- most likely due to a more secure fit due to its stretchable band providing a more secure fit for the HR sensor. I now plan on purchasing a tan/brown silicone watch band and probably purchasing a chest strap- which I had been considering anyway for accuracy Original: I prefer this color to the original black as the watch blends better with my arm. And the nylon construction seems to be sturdier-left flexible than the original band. A complete winner for me.

This is a comfortable band, but if you're doing outdoor work, sweating, dirty, you will need to wash it. It absorbs moisture and does not dry very quickly. The wet material against your skin drying for an hour+ could cause a rash / irritation. However, it's easy to throw in the washer with your clothes and it comes out very clean. Size, installation, and look is all great. No issues there. Mine started to fry and have loose thread pretty quickly. Again (as per the first point), I'm pretty active and am not "taking it easy" on this band. For me, metal or rubber has been more durable, but the feel of this band is better than those in my opinion. So in short, buy it based on your use case. If you'll in the outdoors, plan to sweat a lot, or plan to submerge it, I would look at something else. If you're at a desk or sitting most of the day, I'm sure it will look new for a long time.

Me parece muy buena opción, la compre para mi reloj que usa extensibles de 28mm vs los 26mm de este producto (sabiendo que quedaria ligeramente pequeño) decidi cambiar a estas correas porque vivo en zona de playa y la humedad de la región ya había acabado con 2 pares de mis extensibles originales (silicón que se terminaba rompiendo). Por el precio, espero que me duren bastante, se ven de buena calidad. Recibi el producto 1 semana antes de la fecha estimada.

Die Kanten vom Nylonband sind so schlecht verarbeitet, dass es sich dort schon nach ein paar Wochen tragen auflöst.

Great fit and quality.

Quality and fit are excellent. The only think I'd point out is that the band is only just long enough for me. I don't think I have particularly big wrists, but I need to put it on the 4th largest fitment slot, leaving in sufficient strap to go through both loops. That said, the OEM rubber straps is not dissimilar.
