Abanen Stainless Steel Watch Bands for Garmin epix Pro 42mm / Fenix 8 43mm / Fenix 7S / 6S /5S, 20mm Quick Fit Metal Adjustable Replacement Wristband Strap for Garmin Descent MK2S / Instinct 2S

I love love this. Spent all this money on the Garmin Fenix and it comes with a crappiest wristbands ever and makes your $800 watch look like something you picked up from walmart. I needed something dressy to wear to the office. And I have tried several bands before. This one is my ultimate favorite I hook it on and leave it on 24/7. You won't regret this purchase.

Had this on my Instinct 2s Solar with 20mm pins for the past year and it has held up well. Bought it for ease of putting the watch on and taking it off and to look better than the OEM bands. I was afraid it might break, but it outlasted my expectations and still going strong. My wrists will swell or shrink depending on ambient temperature and how well I am hydrated so I found I don’t like this band for running or swimming. But the QuickFit allows me to switch with another sport band I use for those times. Overall very satisfied with this band.

I have bought several band for both of my garmin watches. This appears to be good quality. Mine came with a pin removal tool. It's not the best tool but I was pretty excited about it anyways. The band is would fit a huge wrist. I romoved about 5 links and had it installed in under 15 minutes. If you don't have fine motors skills you might struggle with it. I used sewing needles many many times so that tool made it very easy. Carefully line it up, tighten slightly, recheck the alignment and the pin pushes out. The band did not come with the small torx bit to remove the screwed in pins from the garmin band but I had those from other band purchases.I hope this lasts a little while. Nearly every non garmin brand watch band failed very quickly. Less than half the life of of garmin brand. I don't remove my watch except to charge it every 10+ days.I sometimes get a little rough with my watches. Usually I will take it off when it's in the way but many times I've forced my arm in a tight spot wrenching on those rubber watch bands and usually the little ring tears of first. Then the adjustment holes on the band tear one by one.I have other watches with metal bands and one is a citizen that has to be over ten years old. The solar is still good and so is the band. I was happy to see a metal band is available to try on my garmin.Every metal band has popped open when doing certain activities. That's usually when I put the watch in my pocket. Will update on durability after I use it for awhile so far it seems pretty good.

I like the look of the watch band. It was a little difficult to remove and replace the pins when adjusting but I was finally able to. It fits my Garmin Fenix 7S but the catch is not well made so I will not risk wearing it and losing this expensive watch. It is a shame because it fits the watch and looks so nice.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Doesn’t match the new fenix 8 43mm titanium exactly but pretty close. Have only had it on for an hour and so far the comfort is just alright. Not amazing but not uncomfortable like the other metal band I tried.

It's quite nice, however darker rose gold than my watch and heavy. It comes with the links tool and fits very well.

The media could not be loaded. I have one for my garmin watch, and love it so much better than the original band. So i bought one for my husband. Easy to put on and take off, durable, and Great looking. I've had mine (pictured) for a few years, and wear it daily.

Best inexpensive band i have bought. For Garmin instinct solar 2s, 20mm. I am extremely hard on bands and after several months few scratches.
