C2D JOY Stretchy Loop Nylon Strap Compatible with Garmin forerunner 45/45S Bands Replacement Accessory Adjustable Elastic

This band solved a problem I had with the stock Forerunner band. When I wore the watch to bed, the end of the strap would snag on a sheet or pillowcase every time I turned over and it would wake me up. This stretchy replacement band has nothing that will snag, so it's much better than the original band if you plan to track your sleep. I wore this stretchy band 23/7 for a year and it held up well. It's finally losing its stretch, so I ordered another. Tip: squeeze the clasp when you put the watch on to prevent it from slipping.

Very satisfied with this strap. I'm a runner and work outdoors alot. This is a great slim band for the garmin.

The first time I tried to put the watch on with this, the tiny piece of metal holding it to the watch popped off, but was easy to pop back on. I was concerned it would be a problem, but it only happened once. It does loosen up over time, so twice a day I end up having to re-tighten the band to make sure it fits as snugly as I'd like. It's good, but I'll probably end up getting a Garmin replacement.

Much better than the original, it doesn't itch or drive me crazy. It does loosen up pretty quickly though and after less than a year I have to take it off and retighten it several times a day, which then loosens it more. Looking for a better alternative but still a big leg up on the original. Edit: Removing a star because after a year it's already crumbling/flaking and falling apart.

I purchased my daughter a Garmin Forerunner for her birthday, and she loved it! However, after wearing it for sports and fitness we started to notice a rash forming on her wrist. She has no allergies nor has ever had any skin issues in the past. We thought it might be an injury that was having a hard time healing as the watch may be irritating it. She stopped wearing it and it went away. She put it back on and there it was again. This made it impossible for her to use this great product. We came across this JOY Stretchy Strap and it has been a game changer! No rash, plus it is durable and looks great. Great quality, speedy delivery time, and installs without issue. Highly recommend. We will be buying all our bands here moving forward.

Was a little hesitant to purchase since not all knock off bands fit great, but this one fits well. Very easy to install and have had no issues since! The band is easy to take off and wash, as it can get a little stinky after a lot of sweaty runs. Will definitely buy again if I need a new one.

I can't say enough about how wonderful it is to have a wristband that does not challenge my skin to go bonkers red with irritation. There are no sweating issues. My only issue is that it came in one size with no adjustments to make it larger. I can make the wristband smaller ... up to half its size but set at its maximum I'm barely able to put it on but I was able to, and it fits perfectly for what it needs to to capture viable data from my wrist. I would buy it again!

too large for my wrist and it kept getting bigger, junk , wast of my money

Das Originalband von Garmin sorgte nach kurzer Zeit für Hautirritationen, so dass ich die Uhr immer auf den anderen Arm wechseln musste, bis das Problem da auch auftrat. Dann hieß es für eine Woche Tragepause. Als das C2D JOY-Armband kam, war ich es, der zuerst etwas irritiert geschaut hat. Das Teil machte jetzt optisch nicht unbedingt etwas her, aber ich habe es ausprobiert und bin voll zufrieden. Die Haut unter dem Armband wird nicht belastet und die Uhr bleibt dauerhaft auf dem Arm. Einzig, wenn das Armband einmal richtig nass wird, nehme ich die Uhr für eine Stunde ab und lasse das Band trocknen. Ob das notwendig ist, weiß ich nicht, aber ein nasses Armband fand ich nicht so angenehm. Nichtsdestotrotz die beste „Armbandentscheidung“ die ich getroffen habe.

The stitching on the strap is falling apart after three weeks of use. The part that holds the screws is not covered in silicone and made of cheap plastic that scratches your skin
