I’ve just bought a Fenix 5 plus and looking to change the orange silicone strap with a titanium one. Advice from here suggests that Fenix 5 and 6 straps are interchangeable but Garmin don’t agree - watch specs on the site differ. Garmin has different band sizes for the 5 and 6 – can anyone offer any guidance?

Info from Garmin site –

Fenix 5 plus fits wrists with the following circumference:

Silicone band: 163-249 mm

Leather band: 166-229 mm

Metal band: 166-242 mm

Fenix 6 fits wrists with the following circumference:

Silicone band: 125-208 mm

Leather band: 132-210 mm

Fabric band: 132-210 mm

Metal band: 132-215 mm

How can the same bands fit different size wrists on different watches? I want to make sure the Fenix 6 vented titanium band will fit my 150 mm wrist and my Fenix 5 plus.
