Globastore for Fenix 5X/5X Plus Watch Bands, Soft Silicone Quick Release 26mm Replacement Sport Wrist Strap Loop Compatible with Garmin Fenix 3/3 HR/Fenix 5X/5X Plus

Just got it and replaced the original straps.Need to follow instructions on how to put it on correctly otherwise you will struggle and return or give poor review.There is one area I think the strap could weaken and break - but only time/use and tell that.The snug fit with original factory straps was uncomfortable, not with these.Update - have used it for a while now.Changed from 5 star to 4 start because the straps come off when flexed beyond a certain angle.Works great otherwise. Much easier to put on and take off compared to original strap and fits better and comfortably for different activities. Has not come off during an activity.

This band is awesome, I wanted something similar to the Apple Watch band & this hit very close. I do see what other people have stated in previous reviews about the 26MM band tapering down to what seems like a 22MM band but it doesn’t bother me. Quick release isn’t as smooth as I imagined, then again I can deal as long as it latches properly, which it does. One thing I did not like is how the band gets tucked in. Once you latch it, the rest of the band gets tucked in between your wrist and the outer band, just inconvenient IMO. Overall good band, can’t comment on durability yet until I can determine wear and tear but so far so good!

The band is not suitable for physical activity. Within 2 days of receiving this watch band it ripped where the silicone meets the adapter for the watch during a moderatly intense run. It is as if there is no care to reenforce the silicone where it is obviously needed most.

Watch band material is nice and breathable exactly what I was looking for. Main downside is the band is just too thin. it looks like it is made for a 22/24mm band instead of a 26mm, so it takes away from the rugged good looks of the watch. Also the little metal pins inside the band are different, not sure I like them, but so far no issues.

Giving this product a 3 because I LOVE this band! However it broke after only 3 months of easy use. My wife has an Apple Watch band on hers and it's lasted 2 years. It came apart at the clasp and the silicone band came undone from the clasp as well. Actually was broken at month 2 but hung in there till yesterday.Again, awesome band, but I wish it was more durable.

The aesthetic of the band is fantastic, and that’s where the good things end. The band is loose on the watch, the “quick release” doesn’t stay tight so if you golf (or anything that forces you to swing your arm) which I do often, you can literally throw the entire watch as you finish. One time I shook my wrist to get the watch to settle a little further down and BOTH ends of the band came off, throwing g the watch head in the gravel. Spend more money on something that works.

Clasps came off by itself othen. My Fenix 5x clasp came undone unexpectedly and watch fell off my wrist and broke! Not happy with product at all!!! If you care about your watch DO NOT buy this cheap watch band. Buy an original Garmin watch band and don't skimp on quality over price!!! This company should reimburse me for my broken Garmin Fenix 5x. Not happy at all.

The strap works well and looks really nice, the way you have to wear the strap is a bit different. See the images before you decide to purchase
