Watch Bands Compatible with 18mm Garmin Venu 3S/ Vivoactive 4S /Venu 2s / Vivomove 3S, Solid Stainless Steel Watchband+ Mesh Strap Bracelet Replacement Band for Garmin Forerunner 255s/265S

I absolutely love this set! Originally bought it for my venu 2s and used for a year. Ended up upgrading to a 3s last year and switched this band over as well. So I can truly say one of these watch bands has outlasted a Garmin lol. In terms of the band...2 years and still going strong! I've only used the one with small links so far as it's held up fantastically. There's some slight discoloration at the clasp, but I work out and shower in my watch most days (might throw it on the charger before a shower every couple of weeks). So, genuinely, it's in fantastic shape. I stillg get compliments regularly becaue this, in combination with my white and gold watch face, just looks like a super fashionable real watch!The sizing is also easy to fit to the wrist- just use a knife and slide it up or down accordingly. That trick really helped when I was losing weight over the summer and my wrists seemed to show results first. Weight and feel are both fine- I'd say about as heavy as the original garmin strap, but it's not rubber so it won't leave those awful burn marks on your wrist like the original band can. It's also a double clasp so I rarely run into an issue with this coming undone; normally only the outer one will come undone on its own, and the one underneath holds quite well unless I tug violently or something. Literally has only happened once when I happened to be removing a compression shirt and my watch went with it haha.Overall, it's a lovely set that's worked for me for 2 years and will continue to work for me. I might switch to the other band (finally) this summer. Here's to another 2 years!

Classy watch straps for a smart watch.I use these straps daily and they have not rusted they’re super comfortable too!It was hard to figure out how to assemble them into the watch but it was worth it!

THIS WAS A VERY NICE SET OF WATCH BANDS. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO EASILY TAKE OUT THE LINKS TO MAKE THE ONE BAND FIT MY WRIST NICELY AND THE OTHER BAND FIT NICELY THE WAY IT CAME AS YOU ARE ABLE TO ADJUST IT TO THE RIGHT SIZE. THE COLOR MATCHES WHAT IS SHOWN ONLINE. THEY BOTH STAY ON SECURELY WITH NO ISSUES. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THESE AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

These watch bands look so pretty on my garmin watch. Sizing and installing was very simple with the step by step instructions and tools provided. I sweat possibly more than the average woman, so these are not ideal to wear for workouts since the metal doesn’t breathe. On a particularly sweaty hike, the band left behind a pink residue presumably from the “rose” tone of the rose gold.

I'd say they look OK for the price. However, trying to adjust the bands has been a true nightmare. First I put the link band on my Garmin, but it was way too big, so I put the mesh band on it. Trying to figure out how to adjust it in the first place was challenging--the instructions were not clear--but I finally got that figured out. However, then I couldn't put it back together, and when I finally did, the first time I bumped it into something it fell apart again. I can't seem to get it to the right length and then clasp it back in place. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't think so.So I tried removing a couple of links off the link band with the tool they provide. It was easy enough to remove the links, but trying to get the band back together was an epic fail. When I finally got the pin back in with the tool, it went too far, and now I can't get it back in and I can't get it all the way out. So now it's stuck in the watch in such a way that I can't really do anything. It's frustrating.

Got this to add as an option for watch for going out and to match different outfits. Couldn't get the links and sizing right very easy and if done wrong you can't get pin out. Would recommend easy install and instruction improvements. Good look and appears to hold up well.

No rash! I repeat no rash!! Former Apple Watch wearer - got chemical burns from optical sensor. Then switched to Garmin Venu 2S. Got rash from buckle & band. Thought I had to give up on smart watches. Ordered these stainless steel bands as last hope. They work prefect and no rash or irritation!! Very easy to switch out. Upgrades look of watch. Mine is white with rose gold so selected rose gold bands. So freaking happy I found these bands!! The metal is light & flexible yet strong. No discoloration. I wear the watch all day regardless of water or workout. I do not wear when I sleep. Do not hesitate to buy if you've struggled to find a non-irritating band to go with your Garmin.

It's a shame I have to return these. The bands themselves are decent quality. But the tool they give you to adjust the more traditional looking band (the not mesh one) is junk. It got bent immediately and while I was able to get 2 pins out, I couldn't get them back in because the tool was not usable at that point. I put it back in by hand but I don't trust it to not slip out at any moment because I can't secure it. Really a shame since these are some of the nicer options I've found for my Garmin.
