Abanen Rugged Nylon Watch Bands for Garmin Fenix 8 51mm / Enduro/Instinct 2X / epix Pro 51mm, Adjustable Sports Wrist Strap with Stainless Steel Clasp for Fenix 7X / 6X /5X, Instinct 3 50mm

I’ve only had this a month but it seems to be a lot more rugged than other cloth/fabric/nylon bands I’ve used in the past. I haven’t submerged it in water while wearing it but it seems to resist moisture well. The clasp is large and easy to use. Unless it falls apart under use the next 12-24 months this is an excellent band.

Fits Garmin Fenix 7x Pro Sapphire Solar perfectly. Has lasted through much abuse and still looks great after a wash in the sink. Great connections and still holding strong. Feels thinner than the silicone bands which are included with the watch, but still holds firm. Would buy again.

Super easy to remove and put on. Very comfortable, but I will say the band is still rigid since the date of my purchase. It slipped off a couple times but it's been good ever since. It's a great fit. Rigid and not very stretchy.

Amazing product.Good Quality and price

Band looks great and feels great. Had to buy it in a different color too.

Band fits well and is really easy to install. Comfortable and breathable!

I think it's a great band overall. However, the screws holding the plate that keeps the spring in place fell out and the band came apart. I was sitting down and my watch fell off. Tempted to put locktite on the screens of the other similar watch bands I have. I was fortunate enough to find my watch later on.

Update 2: I finally figured out the band (any band) is not the issue with the sometimes erratic heart rate display. The real issue, caused by this band or the OEM Garmin band, is the location on my wrist. I have relatively thin arms and when the watch is placed immediately below the wrist bone into a bonier part of the wrist- my normal watch wear point, the HR sensor has a harder time accurately displaying. If I place the watch immediately above the protruding wrist bone , the displayed HR is consistently what I would expect it to be, based upon experience.Update: After several weeks of wear and a note of experience: I still like this band a lot as it has quality construction and the color is a closer match to my skin color than other bands. This band is on a 51mm Epix 2 Pro Sapphire, which is a larger watch on my 158# medium frame. I am up in age, exercise daily by fast walking and cycling in a very hilly area and have found the displayed heart rate will tend to fluctuate and read higher than expected at some times during my exercising.Comparing and testing variances with this to my wife's smaller and lighter weight Garmin 165 using its standard Garmin stretchy silicone band, wearing on the same arm at the same time as my Epix, I find the 165 has a more consistent heart rate- most likely due to a more secure fit due to its stretchable band providing a more secure fit for the HR sensor. I now plan on purchasing a tan/brown silicone watch band and probably purchasing a chest strap- which I had been considering anyway for accuracyOriginal: I prefer this color to the original black as the watch blends better with my arm. And the nylon construction seems to be sturdier-left flexible than the original band. A complete winner for me.
