Compatible Fenix 5X Plus Bands Sport Silicone Replacement Watch Strap for Fenix 8 51mm/ 5X/5X Plus/ 3/3 HR (Black/Slate)

Used with a Fenix 3 HRI love these bands. Price is great and quality is high. Very quick to switch between bandsI wear the black to work and around town. Its a nice blakc and dresses up well.I wear the orange band for everything dirty. Camping, hiking, biking, yard work, car work, etc. No matter how nasty it gets it always cleans right up. no signs of wear yet.

Received quickly, bands are comfortable and quality seems to be good

Great quality

Excelent product after market, I’m highest satisfied, thanks

Fits great for a fenix 6x pro, strong material, good fit, easy to install and remove (as original), true black. Look is slightly different, this is slick, original had some dent like shapes to it.Missing start because the belt thing at the end tends to slip - see image - that didn't happen with original

After about 4-5 years, my original Garmin band for my Fenix 5x Plus finally tore through one of the eyelets for the clasp.I stumbled upon these because I couldn't justify the $50 for the Garmin branded bands to myself...it's just silicone after all.I went with the two-pack because I was intrigued by the blue color but also wanted to have black as a backup. It was a nice compromise to pay the extra $5 versus buying only one band for the added security if I didn't like the color. Spoiler, the blue is quite attractive! Additionally, they even have the little Garmin arrowhead on the band, so it really mimics being the real deal.I won't lie to you and say that these are 100% equal to the Garmin-made bands for a few reasons:1) The release mechanism to hook the band to the watch face on these is more "plastic-y" and a bit tougher to activate than what Garmin provides.2) The band feels noticeably stiffer and the loops feel a little less durable.The release mechanism is by no means a dealbreaker, I just had to use my nail a bit more to keep it engaged while hooking it on. I don't anticipate it'll fail or break off from what I can observe.I assume the feel of the band will get softer with wear, but it was noticeably stiffer upon first use. It's by no means uncomfortable or bad, but noticeable. It still wraps around my wrist just fine.The one thing that I'll keep my eye on is the loops that hold the band down. They do feel a little flimsy, on first impression and I could see the corners tearing early on them. If it happens quickly, I'll revisit the review and knock a star off. However, given I can buy this pair two more times before I hit the price of one Garmin band, I'm not going to fault the product if it's a little less durable.For $18 I've conceivably extended the life of my Fenix for another half decade at least (assuming I get at least 2.5 years out of each band if they truly are a cheaper quality), so I'm going to call that a complete win worthy of 5 stars!

Great product

Looks and feels perfectly like the original
