Abanen Hook and Loop Quick Dry Watch Band for Fenix 6/Fenix 5, 22mm Woven Nylon Ultralight Sport Wristband Strap for Garmin Fenix 6 Pro/Sapphire,Instinct,Fenix 5/5 Plus,Quatix 6/5

It's a lot more comfortable than the watch band that came with it. I'll still change it out if I'm going somewhere more formal, but this one feels good pulled tight. When I tightened the stock one all the way, it was a little painful. Because it isn't limited to spaced-out notches, it conforms better to your wrist. The purchase was satisfactory to me.

type band for watches with a diameter of 22mm! I have a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro, which I adore, but when Garmin first announced the Enduro watch, it was the velcro band that came with it that caught my attention. Because Garmin did not see fit to add the Enduro band to the 22mm Fenix line, I began looking for alternatives. I'd been looking for a simple, breathable velcro band for the summer, but while the options I'd tried (the Coros Vertix bands, Mankey bands, etc. ) worked and were very good, they weren't quite as simple as I wanted. br>br>I ordered this band after seeing someone mention it on the Garmin Fenix subreddit, and it's been perfect; the length is perfect for my 7. Fitting it to the watch was a breeze, and the velcro is strong and never comes undone accidentally. br>br>For less than $15, I can put the band through its paces, and if it fails or falls apart (which I don't expect to happen), getting a replacement will be quick, simple, and much less expensive than the Enduro band or even the alternatives mentioned above. The only thing I'd like to see is more color options for the band, but if it proves to be as popular as it appears to be, we might get this.

On my Garmin Fenix 5, I'd been using the original silicone band. After a few months, I noticed that I was getting rashes under the watch band; switching wrists and not wearing the watch for an hour or so a day helped, but the rash persisted. I looked for a solution and found this watchband. br>br>Wow, what a difference! Sweat on your wrist evaporates through the band, making it comfortable and snug, and best of all, the rash is disappearing! I purchased a second one so that I can wash the band once a week and replace it with another. There was no odor from the band after a week of wearing it through several days of intense exercise. The Fenix's band is simple to put on and take off. br>br>The best part is that the price is reasonable when compared to the outrageously priced Garmin bands. Get two and switch them around like I do.

Updates: After several months of daily use, the band is still going strong. I've noticed that they've added a new color that appeals to me. Because there was some confusion about the length, I've included a photo of the distance between the velcro sections.
- My wrist was pretty beat up after a long day of lift assisted DH riding, thanks to my Fenix6 bouncing around a bit. I couldn't get the fit right for such a strenuous activity with the default band (running, on the other hand, was fine). I discovered this one while looking for a more adjustable strap, such as a NATO strap. I figured I'd give it a shot despite the lack of reviews and the fact that it was only available in one color. I've been wearing the watch with this band for a few weeks now and am very pleased with it. Advantages: br>br> br>As long as it's black, you can have whatever color you want. br>The ability to make minute changes is incredible. br>Unlike silicone bands, I haven't had a reaction to sweat or funk. br>If necessary, I can make it slightly tighter or looser. br>The plastic piece at the end tucks neatly out of the way. br>The profile allows the watch to sit flat on my wrist. br>Most importantly, it prevents the watch from banging against my wrist bones, as the OEM strap does. Almost a disadvantage: br>The packaging is a bit flimsy, consisting of a thin plastic bubble on some cardboard, but it'll be thrown away or recycled anyway, so it's not a big deal. br>The instructions for looping the band onto the original pins aren't great, but the video on the ad page is very clear and makes it very simple. br>While doing outdoor activities like trail runs, hiking, camping, or things like woodworking, small wood chips, splinters, and thistle sorts of things can get caught in the loose(ish) weave of the fabric, but I was able to remove all of them with a little effort. br>br>Concerns: br>I'm not sure how durable the hook/loop connection will be over time. Will things start to get furry and stop grabbing at each other? br>How long before the elastic nature of the strap gives way and it's just a cloth strap? Will it really be a problem if all of the stretch is gone? br>br>In the end, for the 20ish dollars, I thought it was well worth the risk. It's one of my favorite things to do. I'm glad I don't have to use the original strap on my skinny little wrists any longer for the fenix6, because I don't have to. I'm hoping it holds up, and that more colors will be added in the future.

I've been looking for a lower-profile, more comfortable band than the original silicon band, which I find too bulky to wear on a daily basis while typing or using a mouse at work. When I wear it, I get sore spots and even rashes. I've owned several Apple watches and am a big fan of the nylon sports loops that come with them. br>br>For your Garmin Fnix, this band is the nylon sport loop equivalent of the Apple bands. I can wear it while typing or using my mouse because it's so comfortable and low-profile that I forget I'm wearing it. It's a game changer for the Fnix, transforming it from something I was considering returning because it was too uncomfortable to live with to something I don't even notice I'm wearing. And, unlike some other nylon bands, this one's design leaves the optical sensors exposed while on your wrist. br>br>If you have a Garmin, any model, with a 22 mm band, I strongly advise you to purchase this watch. I only wish it was available in navy blue. br>br> Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please.
