NotoCity Compatible Fenix 5X Plus Bands Sport Silicone Replacement Watch Strap for Fenix 7X/8 51mm/5X/ 6X/6X Pro/3/HR/Descent MK1(Black/Army Green

Received quickly, bands are comfortable and quality seems to be good

Used with a Fenix 3 HRI love these bands. Price is great and quality is high. Very quick to switch between bandsI wear the black to work and around town. Its a nice blakc and dresses up well.I wear the orange band for everything dirty. Camping, hiking, biking, yard work, car work, etc. No matter how nasty it gets it always cleans right up. no signs of wear yet.

First impression of the bands...Nice!!I ordered the four pack of replacement bands for $30. When you compare that to the $49.99 price tag for just one replacement band through Garmin, I would say this is a great deal!!!As for the material, it feels just like the original band that came with the watch. You can see from the pictures it looks almost identical as well. I tried to do a side by side comparison with the original band (on the left) and the new band (on the right). I'll let you be the judge.For the durability, I haven't had the chance to test them out yet. I bought the watch in 2017 so the original band has lasted roughly 2.5 - 3 years. I don't know if these bands will last that long but I have high hopes based on the other reviews I have read about them.Shipping was really fast, I ordered them on August 31 and they arrived September 2! Extremely pleased with how fast I received the bands!I'll update this review in a few months after putting them through some runs and workouts. As of right now (2 Sep 20) I have rated this as 5☆'s, the next few months will determine if the rating stays.

After about 4-5 years, my original Garmin band for my Fenix 5x Plus finally tore through one of the eyelets for the clasp.I stumbled upon these because I couldn't justify the $50 for the Garmin branded bands to myself...it's just silicone after all.I went with the two-pack because I was intrigued by the blue color but also wanted to have black as a backup. It was a nice compromise to pay the extra $5 versus buying only one band for the added security if I didn't like the color. Spoiler, the blue is quite attractive! Additionally, they even have the little Garmin arrowhead on the band, so it really mimics being the real deal.I won't lie to you and say that these are 100% equal to the Garmin-made bands for a few reasons:1) The release mechanism to hook the band to the watch face on these is more "plastic-y" and a bit tougher to activate than what Garmin provides.2) The band feels noticeably stiffer and the loops feel a little less durable.The release mechanism is by no means a dealbreaker, I just had to use my nail a bit more to keep it engaged while hooking it on. I don't anticipate it'll fail or break off from what I can observe.I assume the feel of the band will get softer with wear, but it was noticeably stiffer upon first use. It's by no means uncomfortable or bad, but noticeable. It still wraps around my wrist just fine.The one thing that I'll keep my eye on is the loops that hold the band down. They do feel a little flimsy, on first impression and I could see the corners tearing early on them. If it happens quickly, I'll revisit the review and knock a star off. However, given I can buy this pair two more times before I hit the price of one Garmin band, I'm not going to fault the product if it's a little less durable.For $18 I've conceivably extended the life of my Fenix for another half decade at least (assuming I get at least 2.5 years out of each band if they truly are a cheaper quality), so I'm going to call that a complete win worthy of 5 stars!

Fits great for a fenix 6x pro, strong material, good fit, easy to install and remove (as original), true black. Look is slightly different, this is slick, original had some dent like shapes to it.Missing start because the belt thing at the end tends to slip - see image - that didn't happen with original

quality is good

Recently picked up a Garmin Foretrex 601 and was looking for a different band for two reasons. The original velcro band was not very appealing to look at, nor was it very comfortable. These bands solved both of those issues. For anyone having issues finding bands actually labeled for use on the Foretrex 601/701, anything that says it fits the Fenix 5X and is 26 mm will fit. These bands install simply and securely. Very pleased so far. The only thing that the velcro seemed to do better was keeping the Foretrex from moving. These bands allow about the same amount of movement, if you don't cut off your circulation, as I am used to with my G-Shock watch. This movement is fine with the G-Shock, but it is rather amplified by the overall size of the Foretrex. Either way, merely something to get used to. In terms of appearance, comfort, and installation, I am thoroughly pleased with this product. Also, I ordered the two pack of green and black. Much better deal that way.

Super easy to swap bands. I should have and will order more colors for swap out. The blue is a low key dark blue so not much different than the black. Bands feel good and I have had no issues.
