Garmin UltraFit Nylon Strap (26 mm) - Black

Not major, just kind of itchy and not as comfortable. These are much more comfortable, adjustable, are really good bands and dry off nicely. This is my 2nd one. I wear working out, then in spa and shower and they work well. I try to clean it off lightly and keep from getting soap and stuff on it and it seems to not get discolored at all. They look better, or are a bit more stealth than most velcro bands. The velcro is not thick, or it doesn't overlap much so looks good enough for me to wear to work. Anyway, better than I thought, but if you're in sales or for more formal occasions, it's very easy to take off and you can swap in your titanium or blingy band

Comfortable and durable. Also easy to fit and adjust. Looks really good with the watch.

I had the stock silicon band, but it was irritating my skin something fierce. Every time I sweat (running/ working out) the silicon band would slip and slide, and all that rubbing meant I was losing skin, getting dry skin in the area, it caused itching and pain.This Nylon band however, super easy to install, and instant relief from all that irritation. It sits snugly on the wrist without moving around, it doesn't rub or chafe or cause any irritation whatsoever.My only criticism is this should have been bundled FOR FREE with the base watch as an option, rather than forcing me to spend 40 extra dollars when the original silicon based product is known to cause so much irritation for so many customers.

This strap which I put onto a Tactix 7 AMOLED is incredibly comfortable, lightweight, and breathable. Absolutely worth the money and keeps the watch snuggly in place.

Replaced a cheap metal chain loop watchband after it broke, and I couldn't stand to use a plastic one.The nylon band fits rather nicely, doesn't chafe or itch, and makes the watch dramatically lighter. On hot summer days, I don't get the characteristic annoying ring of sweat under the watch, and if it gets wet, it dries rather quickly.Only real downsides are that getting the belt fed through the watch is a small exercise in patience, and loosening the band to remove the watch from your hand is a bit tricky at first, but I'm sure after a break-in period it wont be a problem

I’ve worn this watchband daily for the past few months, and it hasn’t caused any skin irritation (unlike the original silicone band, which made me itch). So far, there’s no sign of wear, and it’s both super comfortable and high quality. The Velcro is still very grippy, too - I've been worried about this before buying.

I bought a Garmin Instinct 2X Tactical, but the strap it came with was uncomfortable. I ordered this over many cheaper third party brands and I’m glad I did. It’s very comfortable right out of the box, took all of about 2 minutes to install, and it also looks tactical like my watch and matches it perfectly. I would absolutely recommend this.

Three stars due to Garmin price gouging. A Velcro band for a watch you already spent $1,200 on should not cost this much. In fact maybe it should be included with the watch. Works as expected. When combined with quick fit adapters allows for a quick on and off band that can be worn outside clothes in colder weather. Combined with a HR chest or arm strap a great way to have access to your Garmin without having to remove glove or pull up sleeves. Garmin is price gouging on this should not be so expensive it's just a Velcro strap.
