NotoCityCompatible Fenix 5X Band 26mm Width Soft Silicone Watch Strap for Fenix 6X/Fenix 7X/Fenix 5X Plus/Fenix 6X Pro/Fenix 3/Fenix 3 HR/Tactix/Descent MK1/D2 Delta PX/D2 Charlie-Dark Blue

When I received the band and removed it from the package, I was struck by how "OEM-like" the band felt. The silicone band seems to be of high quality and has a premium feel to it. Unfortunately now, a month later, my band has failed and will no longer stay attached to the Garmin watch pins. Upon closer examination, it appears that Garmin uses more spring tension on their locking clasps than this band manufacturer does. It also seems as if the surface area, end to end, of the clasp is longer on the Garmin band than on the aftermarket one.It should be noted that I live a pretty active lifestyle, train with this watch 4-5 days per week in a variety of settings (running, cycling, cross-training and lifting) as well as wearing it for normal daily wear. I don't think I would have had any issues with the band failing if it was only used for lighter duty / cardio work, but for lifting and cross training, I believe the band needs to be more rugged. I wouldn't trust it to swim with just out of fear of losing the watch. I'm now outside the return window, so it's a $12 lesson learned at this point.

First of all, I didn't receive these for free to write review in Amazon. And now, I think this is one of the best band you can get in Amazon. They are the exact same quality and design as the original Garmin which is $49.99 for one. I paid $24 for three. It has the same screw on the buckle unlike many other brands uses the flimsy pin. Only difference is the part that connects to the watch. They are not as same as the original but they are also very good. It also has hook inside the band loop to secure the band. (I switched the loops to make it look little good haha). Color also match the original bands. I will buy some more from this company. Please look at my pictures to see more in details.

I bought this piece of junk at the latter part of September 2018. After just 4 months of very light usage, the band has broken. The clasp, which binds the band together and keeps it on your wrist, broke. I literally picked up the watch from my end table and heard metal pieces hitting the hardwood floor. That’s all it took for this band to break? Really? I’d REALLY be upset if I were swimming in the ocean or doing another activity that would result in the inevitable loss of my watch! You’re better off paying the $42 that Garmin asks for an authentic band knowing that it will last.

I read the review of the customer that lost his watch in the ocean which really sucks. Installed the band and It's hard to imagine this thing coming off but we will see. First impression is that it's more comfortable than Garmins. ***Update*** It's been over 3 months now and I have to say that I love it and will be ordering additional colors. I have never had any of the durability or quality issues mentioned in several of the other reviews. Honestly, I think those of us non-review-trolls who've bought this, did so for the same reason. Garmins band blows. It's rigid and uncomfortable, has a design flaw that causes it to fail prematurely. And oh yeah, it's way overpriced which is the Garmin way.

Great fit, easy to install, stylish. Sadly though I nearly lost my Garmin due to one of the tiny bolt/nuts coming apart on the buckle holding it onto the band. heard the watch clink to the ground. looks like the bolt and nut came apart a while back and the nut has been lost. I'd love to get a replacement nut and secure it with some locktite but until then I may need to look into another band.Update after 4 hours, I've been contacted my manufacturer and they are sending me a new band.

Very good wristband for my garmin fenix 6x sapphire. Love that it has lots of size notches because I always seem to in between sizes with anything in life. But with this design I have a perfect notch, or should I say notches. You will definitely notice how your wrist increases in size with temperature or with blood pumping during workouts. Depending on my activity I do have to change slots on the wristband here and there. This does feel like good quality and I like that’s it’s a very soft and pliable rubber. The green is the best green I could want too.

This is my 3rd band for my Garmin Fenix 5x. The original lasted a couple years and I replaced it with another cheap 3rd party band from Amazon. That one was too stretchy and didn't last. The wholes on the band ripped pretty quickly. This one seems more durable and it is a very comfortable band. It also has a textured surface and this prevents the loops from sliding off the excess band so easily. Not so much that it is hard to move them when you want to though. It isn't overly stretchy so it seems like it may last longer.

The only problem I had was nothing to do with the band. When I took the pins out to take my old band off I dropped one of the screws and lost it in the carpet. I then had to research where to get a new set of pins as no watch maker in my area had one. I finally called Garmin and they sent me out a kit at no charge with 2 pins and screws as well as 2 hex head screwdrivers to use. I won't ever have to take the screws out again since this new band just clips on with its unique design. I plan on ordering a couple of more colors. I do think one set of screws and pins should be provided in a package with the watch band. I would also like to be able to pick my colors on the 3 pack or 6 pack. Bla, Bla, the product itself is great!

Buena calidad y muy cerca del producto original
