GarminUltraFit Nylon Strap

I love the Garmin Instinct Solar 2X watch itself, and I love big watches, but the original band on the watch is just SO bulky, which makes it hard to wear under winter coats and and long sleeves, so this one is better for that. Plus it’s definitely more comfortable to sleep in. No issues with this EXCEPT price!! I mean, $40?? REALLY?!?!?! It’s MAYBE $1 to MAKE (if that much!)?? But whatever. I got this one just to see if I liked the style, but I bought additional almost-identical bands here on Amazon by Abanen (“Abanen Hook and Loop Quick Dry 26 mm Woven Nylon Ultralight Sport Watch Band, $21.99 for TWO!!) that seem pretty good! (JUST got them, so I can’t speak about durability, but still worth a shot given the price and the fact that they can’t just fall off like regular watch bands might!)

Just be aware that the color is more gray than blue, I don't know about the durability yet.

These OEM Garmin straps are a little lighter than the knock offs. I know they are 4X the price but if you are looking for the lightest nylon strap to fit your Fenix or Epix these are the best.

More stable on the hand, and more convenience on daily use and during exercise.I almost can't feel it on the hand.

The band on my Garmin Instinct 2x Solar was starting to wear out, and I happened to see this velcro strap on Amazon. The watch is big, and needs a 26mm quick fit band, which limits your choices, so I decided to spend a bit on this OEM version.This band is great. It seems to be an upgrade from the previous version, with one velcro section always staying in place, so you don't have to make a bunch of micro adjustments. I've always liked nylon as a watch band material, and this one is textured into a soft form for the velcro, but it does not fray like you sometimes see with velcro in other forms. Very comfortable band for everyday use and long bike rides.The only nitpick is the you cannot just push the band through the quick fit pins as it's just a hair too thick. It's really simple enough to take off and re-attach the pins, but it is confusing the first few times. The band does fit perfectly in the space otherwise.
