Good (but not great) nylon band for Garmin
Overall I like this band, I'm using it right now as my daily use watch band for my Garmin Fenix. It replaces another brand's velcro band, which was good but the velcro was wearing out.This band is mostly grey with orange and black accents. I was expecting it to be more black, but it's fine since this is used for casual, daily wear. The band itself is much more smooth, and slightly stretchy, which makes it feel of better quality than the usual velcro bands with the exposed loops and hooks. Time will tell how long this band lasts since all velcro wears out with regular use and with this band's less pronounced loops I wonder if it will last more or less time than the usual type. The band attaches to Garmin (22mm) watches through the quick connect clasps, which seem to be holding very securely. This was an important feature for me since I often switch bands for different uses and the quick connect features makes this a snap, literally.I'm taking 1 star off my rating because:- The plastic buckles that attach to the watch are not well chamfered, so the edges are a little sharp- The buckles also have their screws exposed on the outside face. It would look cleaner if they were on the bottom instead- The buckle sometimes makes a buzzing sound when my watch vibrates. Some of the parts fit a little loosely, so they vibrate against each other, which is annoyingOverall, this is a good watch band assuming it fits your watch and you like the colors. I would like it if they offered a more subdued color (e.g. solid black) and if they improved the design of the buckles a little. Then I think it would be a 5 star band.

Very Good Quality Nylon Band Alternative
This band fits well on a Garmin Forerunner 955 using the existing pins. (Search on YouTube for instructions on how to remove the existing band and pins.)The hardware is good quality. It's clasps onto the pins much more tightly than many other bands (nylon or silicon). The width is slightly more narrow than it could be, resulting in a buzzing sound when the watch vibrates for an alert. Since it clamps more tightly, the buzzing is less annoying than in many other bands.The nylon material is good quality. Although looking more gray than black, it has a smooth quality feel that avoids the "pilly" look of other velcro nylon bands. The stretchiness is moderate, stretching more than "seat-belt" nylon bands, but less than the Abanen band. The Ancool nylon seems to be a good compromise - too little stretch is uncomfortable during daily wear, but too much stretch can mean a watch loosens during workouts.Overall, this is a welcome addition to the various third party nylon bands for Garmin watches with 22mm wide lugs. Comfort is subjective, but this one is worth trying for those who want an alternative to silicon bands.UPDATE: After a month of rotating between several watch bands, I've settled on this band for exercise and a the Abanen band for everyday use. The Abanen has the advantage of being softer and more stretchy which is perfect for everyday wear. However, this Ancool nylon band has the advantage of being equal in breathability and adjustability, but slightly less stretchy which makes it perfect for vigorous exercise where slightly less stretchiness is desirable to prevent the watch from loosening over the workout. If forced to pick a single watch band to cover both everyday wear and workouts, this Ancool band takes the edge for its performance during workouts and its adjustability being adequate for covering everyday wear.

Good band for Fenix 7

Comfortable
These are great! I don't like the really thick silicone that the original strap is. These are super comfortable and easy to use. Great because I sleep with my watch so this helps as the watch is already super bulky. Bought one to try then I can't back to buy two more. Wish they had more colors.

Functional
I liked the way this band attaches to the watch and works, along with the colors.The only thing I didn’t like is that it is too narrow, compared to other options in the market, it made the watch to appear too big

Great Band for the Fenix 5
I was unwilling to purchase a band from Garmin's site, they are just too pricey. So I was looking for a fabric/nylon band, because of its flexibility and clean look. I'm glad I found this brand. The band is great, its clean and fits great. I use it when going out or to work, matches the black dial nicely. I will have to try the other colors too.

Works
Works fine just a elastic band picture looks more rugged or a rubberized coating just a cheap band works great

Comfortable and Looks Great
I have tried a lot of bands for my Garmin 955, and this one is my favorite. Easy to adjust, material is smooth and comfortable with no spots to chafe like some other velcro bands. Looks great...more of a dark grey than black, and I love the pop of color with the orange pull tab. Slightly heavier than a straight velcro strap due to the quickfit connectors, if that matters to you. If your wrist is smaller than 6.5" (my wrist size) then this might be too big, FYI.EDIT: To shorten the strap, I just slipped off one of the quickfit connectors and slid the strap under the pin instead. It still holds perfectly and now is a bit lighter and even more comfortable. This change took about .75" to 1" off the strap and now I can really crank it down on my smaller wrist during activities. Perfect.
