F5 with bands from F3 :-)

I got my F5 two days ago and like it very much but I miss the size of the F3, I know, strange right!?

Actually I like very much the bands from F3, being wider it helps the watch to stay firmer and feels comfortable on the hand, so I thought maybe I can cut a little bit and make a band from F3 to work on F5 - and here is the result..

It feels much more stable right now on my wrist.

Worth to mention that this band was bought from china with 2 USD and was much more better than the original F3, especially in terms of flexibility and smoothness, almost like silk feel. The new F5 bands are not that flexible and silk in feel...

Well done, I'd been wondering about that since there are no third-party F5 bands yet and they likely will fit between the lugs so won't be that wide. I'd slapped on a VAHR strap but it doesn't look great.

Did you get the idea from https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/ada510df-74a7-493e-8a31-50ac8d1cd4c2 ? ;-)

Looking forward to the results ! Did you get these $2 straps on eBay ? Amazon has the Mokos for about €8

I installed that WF but say I'm disappointed by the colors, can barely see them apart from the Emerald one.

Is it this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Soft-Silicone-Strap-Replacement-Watch-Band-For-Garmin-Fenix-3-HR-Yellow/32798600004.html ?
