Can anyone confirm that they’ve actually seen one the newer official Garmin silicone QuickFit 22 bands, new, in stock and in a store available to buy? https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/553030/pn/010-12740-05# They are the 4 new ones on the list that have the sigle line feature on the outside and the ‘scoop’ on the inside face. I’m particularly interested in the ‘Coyote Tan’ and possibly ‘Cyan Blue’ versions, but can only find some really ropey online places claiming to sell them (likely just take your money even if they don’t have the stock). The Black one comes supplied with quite a few of the variants of the 5 Plus and the ‘Solar Flare Orange’ is supplied with the Titanium 5+, therefore I expect to see a few of them being sold 2nd hand, if not new. So has anyone actually seen the Coyote Tan or Cyan Blue bands actually out in the wild yet?
Would like Coyote Tan as well. But note the flare orange sold separately is NOT the same as the orange that came with my 5+ titanium. My titanium orange band came with a brushed silver (aka titanium) buckle. The one sold separately comes with DLC, or grey, or black hardware. The buckle that came with my orange band on my watch matches my titanium bezel nicely.
Hmmm. I'm not sure how to comment, so I will reply. Indeed it looks like the titanium buckle can be moved (see pics). Also including a pic of an Amazon band in orange, which has a black buckle. Wearing it with my F5 black stainless. The buckle on the cheaper Amazon band is NOT removable.

Looks like all the newest Garmin 22mm bands are available on Amazon...except the Coyote Tan. I'm sure it will be in stock soon.
Really like the look of the newer band style compared to the older "pattern" bands. I grabbed a Cyan Blue and Black.
Also Brown Leather band is $55 US, can't beat that deal and IMO the brown leather and stainless steel silver look the best for work (with the Titanium bezel).
They’re finally available! I’ve just ordered a Coyote Tan band from the official Garmin UK website. Free delivery and there’s currently 15% off when buying a single band (discount only shows up when you add it to the cart). 3-5 days estimate for delivery though.
I now have the Coyote Tan 22mm QuickFit band in hand :), so have added some pics for anyone interested. I’ve included the back of my Gold iPhone SE and some RYGB page markers in the pictures as colour comparisons; it’s slightly darker than I expected, which I actually like.
Also worth noting that the box only contained the band and not any torx screwdrivers, as past Fenix compatible bands used to be shipped with (certainly the brown leather QuickFit 22 band I bought last year came with the torx screwdrivers).ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1413145.jpg
I’m tempted to try it with my 5+ Ti, though I would prefer a silver buckle. I tried the solid black but it looks a bit off with the gray body of the Ti.
