ANCOOLCompatible with Fenix 6/Fenix 7 Bands 22MM Quickfit Silicone Watch Band Replacement for Fenix 8 47mm/7 Pro/6 Pro/5/5 Plus/Approach S60/S62/Quatix 6 (Black)

I’ve tried multiple brands that have 4 star or higher reviews for the multiple Garmin Fenix and Forerunner in my family. All of them were 22mm quickfit. Garmin original bands are high quality. However, if you are looking for a change, here are some options:ANCOOL and NOTOCITY - Silicon models only:They are probably the best silicon bands out there. Between these two, you’ll have ample color and style options. They are priced well and they are VERY durable. In the photo, left slate is Ancool and white one next to it is Notocity. I have a few of these for the Garmin’s in my family. I feel they are built in the same factory. The quickfit is as strong as Garmin original band.Recommendation: BuyNote,1. Ancool makes Nylon bands too, they are durable but look cheap. I won’t recommend those if you have the higher end Garmin.2. Notocity makes a Silicon with Ocean bubble style lock (Apple Watch mimic). The pin fell off. Notocity refunded me. Go for classic clip.LDFAS Titanium:I wanted to try a metal look. Let me start by sharing there are no great options, just good and this is one that is rightly balanced between price and performance. LDFAS quality is mediocre, 3 star, when looked closely, you can tell it’s cheap titanium and won’t last long. The quickfit isn’t smooth but will hold. For a sports watch, metal bands are not ideal but maybe you need one to wear with your dress shirt, etc. Based on other reviews, it seems to scratch easily and that seems true as there was one scratch out of the box but that’s what you’ll get at this price point. You aren’t getting Titanium grade 5 like Apple Watch Ultra.Recommendation: Maybe, only if you must wear metal band and know that the polish will fadeEKINGEEK Nylon:Garmin’s original nylon bands are great but ridiculously expensive ($250-$300 range). This is a reasonable alternative. This is the 2nd band from the right in the photo. It is tough, well made, clean stitch, the metal at the ends looks solid. The quickfit mechanism is not great, not as strong grip as Garmin original or Ancool/Notocity. I hope it doesn’t fall off during high intensity activity. The tail end has some weird glue looks, as if they glued two of nylon to make one strong one. Likely the best sub $30 nylon band with classic clip (others are sporty and not as polished looking)Recommendation: Buy if you want nylon with classic look and have a sub $30 budget. If you are OK with other enclosure styles then go for Notocity.BANDKIDS:They seem like the new kid on the block (no pun intended). This is HEAVY DUTY band and very uniquely styled. I would not recommend for smaller wrists or smaller Garmin watches. However, if you are looking for a silicon band that stands out, tough built, then this may be the one for you. This is the right most band in the photo is BandKids. The orange accent is a nice touch. It is wider than all other options. The quick fit is strong, not as good as Garmin original or Ancool/Notocity but no issues with this one.Recommendation: Buy if you want a heavy silicon band with an accentHope this review helps you to pick the right one for you.In the photo, left to right, Ancool Slate Silicon, Notocity White Silicon, Garmin Orange Silicon, LDFAS Titanium, EKINGEEK Black Nylon, BandKids Black Silicon.

I bought this watchband to swap out for my Garmin Epix gen 2 Sapphire. This is a great alternative to the pricey Garmin watch bands. It looks great, has held up very well to daily wear and workouts, the quick click works flawlessly. And at this price point? I'm buying more in different colors... This is a very impressive alternative/clone to the Garmin watch bands.

I was pleasantly surprised with this purchase. I thought a strap for 15 dollars would be cheap and flimsy and that was not the case at all. The garmin oem strap is certainly more robust and will last longer but at this price point I was quite pleased. It fits the lugs really well, easy installation and the rubber is a bit softer than other straps which makes it a bit more pliable and comfortable. An easy and cheap way to make your Garmin pop a bit on the wrist.

Very nice band. Super soft silicone material. I bought this so I can change bands when I go to work at ny "dirty" job.I have a nice paracord band I normally wear. I work as an Electronics Tech and it's a fairly clean job. I also help my friend in his restaurant on the weekends and didn't want my paracord band to get dirty there and also the paracord is not nearly as sanity as the silicon band.This will be switching the bands depending on where I am working.Only bad thing I can say about this band is that it DID NOT come with any pins to attach it to my watch. I had to order pins separately. Oh, and it WILL NOT work with those "quick release" pins. Only with standard spring pins.

Great replacement band at a solid price. This band feels as sturdy or better than the much more expensive stock band. It works great with the quick-fit system, no tools needed. I will definitely be purchasing additional colors. A slam dunk for my Fenix 6 Pro Solar watch!

Always a great cheap replacement band

I have this on my Garmin 965. This is replacing the original band. This product came with the small star screw drivers for removing it from the 935. To get this on a 965, if you don't have a spring removal tool, you will need something like the WOCCI Removal Install Repair Tool for Watch Bands Spring Bars Pins. This band features the quick release mechanism, so once the original band is off, this is easy to snap on.I find this band to be comfortable. I like that it came with two loops to secure the band down. This band did fine on a recent 2.4 swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run I did in Arizona. ; )

I purchased this for my Garmin Fenix 7 sapphire solar and after several days of wear it is far more comfortable than the stock band that comes with the Garmin. I would get a rash on my wrist from the buckle on the Garmin band after a few days of wear and it would take days for it to go away. No rash development with this one. The silicone also feels softer than the Garmin stock band. Love the color too. Will probably buy another color as well.
