TRUMiRR 26mm Quick Fit Genuine Cowhide Leather Watch Band for Garmin Fenix 8 51mm, 7X, 6X Pro, 5X Plus, Instinct 3 Solar 50mm, Epix Pro, Enduro 3, Descent Mk3i 51mm

For years, I have been replacing pins on the original metal band of my Fenix 5x - what a piece of junk that was. I would loose a pin at least once a month. If it happened during a run, the watch would usually go flying, and it has quite a few scratches from this. I did not want to order a replacement band at the cost of $100+, figuring that eventually the watch would need to be replaced anyway. 4 years later, the Fenix 5x is still going strong, and I decided to order this inexpensive replacement band, along with another one made of metal. So far, I like this leather band a lot. At the price point, I can get a new one every year, should it not age well. It is light and comfortable and sturdy and looks good. Can't go wrong with this.

Works perfectly with my D2 Charlie. Comfy fit. Leather wasn't stiff and didn't require breaking in.

I bought this brand because I had bought the same band in a different color that lasted 2 years with no problems except the finish wore off rather quickly. 2 years is about what I got out of the initial Garmin band. Lately the leather was beginning to tear near the clasp. The easy fit mechanism on this one looks identical to the last band and I have never had any problems with it. I knocked off 1 star because of the finish. Hopefully the black is better than the fake crocodile. Update: 3 months in and it still looks good. There is no sign that the black finish is coming off.

The watch band looks and feels great but after wearing it for a week the thin leather piece that holds the buckle on came unglued. Really wish that part was stiched.

I have had issues with other bands wearing out, and coming free of my Garmin Tactix Bravo. I have had this watch for years, and it is my daily wearable. Finally! A nice looking band that can keep up with me! The leather is high quality, and just gets better looking the more I wear it. Highly recommended!

The leather if think and appears to be of good quality. The clasps quickly and easily attach to the watch making it a breeze swap out my silicon band for physical activities. Over all I’m pleased because it gives a nice upgrade in appearance for most my wardrobe in comparison to the stock band

This is my daily band for my Fenix. It doesn't give me rash like the Garmin bands, even after getting it wet and sweating in it regularly. The clasp here seems to be improved now too, I've not knocked it off my wrist yet either. Finally, it's been about six months of near constant use and it looks as good as new (although I needsfooted it early on) and shows no sign of breaking/etc like the Garmin si bands. So rock on, 5 stars for a better product than Garmin at a fraction of the cost.

EDIT: Customer service promptly reached out and refunded me for the product. Cons: I wore the band for 2 days and the leather on the clasp has already split on one side and is showing signs of damage on the other side. Pros: Looks good
