UltraFit Nylon Strap (26 mm) - Gray

So comfortable I don't even realize I have a watch on. I used the Garmin band the watch came with for years and it never really fit right on my wrist, too tight or too big. I ended up only wearing it when I ran to calculate distance. I finally thought to look for alternatives and I'm glad I did. This was a good buy. And its so comfortable now i can wear it while i sleep! Looking forward to learning my sleep patterns.

The sad part of this band is it's an official Garmin band. It's made for the 51mm Fenix and Epix series watches. The problem is the dimensions of the band. The width of the band doesn't match the watches lugs width. It leaves big gaps with exposed pins. A third party band on Amazon has a better fit, than the Garmin band, and it's more than half the cost. This is both the bands fault and the watches fault. I took a digital caliper to the watch and lugs, with the finding that its width is bigger than the industry standard. So normal sized bands won't fit this right. I think it's a ploy to keep people in the Garmin ecosystem and buying Garmin bands. What's worse is even Garmin's bands don't fit it right. Don't buy.

I ordered a 26mm strap, but was sent a 22 mm strap. Added label states it is 26mm, but it is definitely 22mm. Order direct from Garmin.
