Garmin Wrist Strap Kit for Fenix Outdoor Watch Black

This thing is a life saver! I bought this for my Garmin Tactix (it's compatible). The silicon strap that comes with the watch is the most uncomfortable thing on this planet, and a problem I have with all notch-based watch bands is that my wrist just so happens to fit neatly right between two notches. So it's always either too tight or too loose. This strap is just right. I can snug it up so that the watch doesn't move whether I'm running, cycling, lifting, or just walking around, and it's not so tight that it's uncomfortable. It breaths much more than a silicon or leather strap, so you don't have to worry about that gross sweaty watch ring around your arm. On that note, it's fine in the water (or sweat) and dries reasonably quickly. I like being able to adjust it on the fly as well. When it's time to put on gloves, I just unstrap it, move it up my arm, and secure it again. I've worn it daily for a few months now and haven't noticed any seam breaks or fraying or tearing of any kind. The nylon is pretty strong. If you're an active person (and if you have a Garmin watch I'm assuming you are) you should def try one of these out.

When I bought this is was advertised as a Fenix 3 band. While it fits a Fenix 3, the included Torx drivers do not work on the Fenix 3. Luckily I had the right tools around to get the old band off and this one on.

Was a little unsure at first, used to having the silicone band, but they kept breaking. This was a better deal and fits on my Fenix 3. Looks good and rinses and dries quickly. Wish I had gotten one sooner. Update - be careful at the beach. Waves managed to dislodge the Velcro and and take my watch. Hoping a dolphin out there is getting some good feedback with their new watch.

Does not last very long. After 3 months the Velcro will no longer hold. Had to buy 2 torx sets to install and did not lastDOES NOT HAVE THE TOOLS TO INSTALL ON FENIX 3the provided screwdriver and screws are a different size from the original screws. You will not be able to remove the existing strap with the tools provided. Cannot be installed if you do not already own 2 very small torx wrenches... Kudos to amazon for making the return easy

Much better than the band that comes with the Fenix or Tactix. More quickly attaches, and with extension can be used around the outside of your rain coat or winter coat. If I don't want to wear this on my wrist or arm, then I also use the Carabiner strap made by Garmin which is also a very good product. But when I need to wear this around my wrist/arm, I never use the band that was supplied with my Tactix.

You would think that this would be a simple switch since Its made by Garmib, but it doesn't come with the necessary screwdriver to remove the existing band (and it's a very unique sized screwdriver). The instructions don't provide much clarity or direction. Plan on spending an extra $10-15 on the proper tools to get the job done.

Has done great so far on my wrist, I got this to replace the factory black silicone one that came on my Garmin Tactix which finally broke apart after two years of deployments. This one is very comfortable and high quality and a good alternative to the rubber/silicone ones that are included with the watches. Had held up very well and anticipate it holding up for quite some time.

This does not fit the Fenix 3. The strap does, but the screws do not. Nor will you be able to open the Fenix 3's bolts with this tool. This is a totally different size.The strap feels too bulky, but it doesn't provide the safety of an actual Zulu/Nato strap - losing one "shaft" and you lose your watch. The plastic/nylon ring just feels crappy on it.I ended up using a $20 Zulu strap that happens to be less bulky but provides double security and actual metal rings.I am happy with many Garmin products I own, but this is not one of them
