AbanenHook and Loop Quick Dry 20mm Watch Band for Garmin Fenix 8 43mm / epix Pro 42mm / Fenix 7S/6S/5S, Woven Nylon Ultralight Sport Wristband Strap for Instinct 2S / Instinct E 40mm

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I've tried a number of bands for my Garmen Fenix 6 Solar Pro and this is my favorite. It's soft and flexible, and the velcro works very well over an extended period. I have a couple of the silicone straps and they are good in certain situations, but I really prefer this much softer and more flexible strap, it's just much more comfy. Also, I wear these for all types of situations, activities and in different conditions and they have held up really well (and are easy to quickly rinse with soap and water and clean up great).

This is awesome! It's the first watchband on my Fenix 7S that actually fits and doesn't cause my watch to bump up and down my wrist when I run. 10/10 totally worth it, and the pale pink color is very cute! (My wrist is 5.5 inches, for reference)

It’s an ok strap. After 1.5 years of daily use, a couple of the Velcro pads came off. I’d say I got my money’s worth.

Love it, extremely comfortable, very soft, for me superior to original band that comes with watch, especially if you sleep with your watch. It will stink after like a year if you use it to exercise and sweat, but can soak in soapy water or just replace after a while as they’re inexpensive.

Updated Review from second purchase:The old one I bought starts to get worn after a few years and I bought a new one as replacement. It felt good in the first week or so but three weeks in I saw a piece fallen off of it (could not retrieve it due to the scenario I was in) and now I noticed the second velcro piece start to fall off as well. Very disappointing given the old one still stayed in tact after years but the new one merely lasted me weeks before it became unusable. Can some superglue fix it? Perhaps, but I’ll have to worry about the velcro fall apart again when I go and do my water activities. Now I’m hesitant about buying a third one.Original Review: (Five Stars)I was a bit hesitant when I made this purchase as it seemed like there are lots of peer products like this for lower price. After receiving and start using this band, however, all my doubts were gone as it is such a great product — it’s durable, light-weight and the color looks great. It also saved my wrist from getting repeated rashes from the OEM silicon band. I wear it to swim a lot and it does not make my wrist feel uncomfortable as it dries pretty quickly.Definitely recommended if you own a white fenix 6s and looking for a replacement band. This will not disappoint you.

The item is perfectly as described. Very neat, perfect size and color to my garmin fenix 7s pro.Highly recommend it.

I just got this band today. It was easy to install, though a bit thick to poke through behind the quick-fit bars. The velcro seems secure, but I can't yet comment on its durability. The band itself is not very stretchy. I expected it to be like the elastic bands, but it's stiffer and far less stretchy. It has a bit of give to it, but it's more like a losely woven nylon than elastic. It is soft and comfortable, and I don't think it will trap sweat like a silicone band.The biggest plus, for me at least, is that is matches the dark bronze bezel and slate gray case of my Fenix 7s. Not many bands go with this color scheme, and I was very happy to find that the "pink" band has enough black and gray variegation in it to complement the watch. I took a chance, because I REALLY don't like pink, but I'm very happy with how it looks with my watch.Update - May 2025: The band is still going strong. I've had to reglue a couple of the Velcro strips back on with super glue, but they're still sticky and hold the band closed. I've worn this thing 24/7 for over a year now, including in the shower, and aside from a bit of fading from the sun, it still looks new. The fabric isn't pilling or fraying at all. It's a bit softer, but that's not a bad thing. I really like that it doesn't absorb much water, so I can shower with it on. I firmly pat it with a towel afterwards, and I've never had any issues with rashes or discomfort on my wrist. This was always a problem with the silicone bands, and in the summer my skin under the band was constantly irritated from sweat or staying wet after a shower or swim. LOVE this watch band.

Had prior abanen straps in 22mm sizes that fit fine. Based on the descriptions, both the 20mm and 22mm should have been the same size.
