Watch Band for Garmin Forerunner 35

My daughter's watch band finally broke after a year of tugging and twisting. Given that use case I wasn't in the mood to shell out full prices for a Garmin original replacement band, so I looked around. This GVFM band came in a wide range of colors and actually made the choice *more* difficult, but ultimately a decision was made and the order placed. The band itself seems to be of excellent quality, every bit as soft and flexible as the original band, with a full range of size adjustments, etc. Some other brands seemed to be reviewed as thicker or stiffer than the original, but that is not the case with this model. The band also came with everything you would need to install it - extra screws, appropriate screwdrivers, and instructions. This was not the case in some of the competing models. Installation was a snap. All in all I couldn't be happier with this band choice and would definitely recommend it to others.

The band looks great and is well made, but what others should know is that the band comes with very important instructions. There was a white plastic piece stuck in my watch and luckily the instructions address this and how to fix the problem.

This watch band was delivered quickly and the color is beautiful (I bought the teal one). Unfortunately, it does not fit my Forerunner 35. It does not snap onto the sides of the watch so the screw holes did not line up.

This is an identical replacement for the factory strap that came with my watch. Save the screws your original band is attached with and use those, the ones in the kit don’t fit correctly. Easy to install. They seem to only last about a year for me with daily use until the sliding strap holders rip. I also found that the bands here with black hardware are sturdier and closer to the feel of a Garmin band. The other bands with silver hardware are floppier and seem to rip easier.

Fit my watch just right!

I love the color and quality. However, I noted that it didn't snap on as how the original band did, but I was able to screw it on as required. The price was good too.

Can't speak for those that experienced difficulties installing this band, but from start to finish it took me less than four minutes with the included tools. I did reuse the original screws. The included torx-head screwdriver was a perfect fit. Didn't give me any issues or come close to stripping the screws. Screws went right back in without issue and the band looks perfect. Your experience may differ but this was everything I was hoping for.

A bit wider, thicker and longer than original Garmin bands. Extremely difficult to get locating nubs to hook onto watch body.

Gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Guter Tragekomfort. Leichter Mangel hält nicht so bzw. klickst nicht so fest ein wie das Originalarmband ist aber kein Problem denn es wird ja noch fest geschraubt und somit alles super.

La qualità è molto buona. La morbidezza del materiale è leggermente inferiore all'originale ma cmq molto alta e soprattutto dopo due mesi non si è scollato come l'originale. Ottimo.

First of all, if you get a band and think it does not fit, you probably still have to remove a white piece off the watch. The band is good quality. Just as good as the original. In fact, I would say it is better as it has nicer feel and there are two free loops to keep the excess band in place. The package comes with 2 screw drivers and screws. One is a philips to put in new screws if you want and the other is to take off the original screws that came with the watch. You cannot go wrong with this buy. The finickity part is getting the screws back into the watch but this has nothing to do with the band. If you have a magnetic screw driver at home, this will make your life a bit easier. Also good to remember that the strap with the buckle on it goes in the 12.00 position.

Correa de buena calidad muy similar a la original. Encaja perfectamente.

The straps don't fit, they don't click in. Don't buy.
