I got replacement band yesterday and so far it seems good or even really good 😀 it is shorter and more elastic than original but quality seems to be overall good.
Just waiting for the leather one. Ebay or Amazon links please..........
Good observation. I was about to get excited that 3rd party leather bands (with quick fit) were coming but I guess we still have to wait.
Most cheap ebay leather bands are PU leather. You cant expect real leather with so low price. Cant really tell the difference anyway, it will just wear out quicker.
AliExpress had that PU for 6? so I went for it. Apparently there is a bit of real leather on that strap, the inside that's in contact with the skin...They also have what look like more rugged Silicone straps http://s.aliexpress.com/iAnQ7FBV so I picked up a couple ;-)
I waited for a while to see what others have said from the reviews, I decided to take the chance. I really thought that these straps would be cheap and not very durable. I was wrong, these things are awesome. I ordered 3 different colors, I have 3 others that I paid $49 which are the original Garmin straps. All I can say is that Garmin is in trouble once everyone finds out about the quality of these straps for less than half the price. I will definitely get other colors and will not buy Garmin straps for the $49 dollars, complete rip off . I only got the others because these from Amazon were not out yet.
These are a bit softer and much more comfortable than the original. The Easy Fit is just like the Garmin as far as fit and ease of use. The size is perfect for the Fenix 5 When I put them next to the original Garmin straps, even I can't tell the difference.
I highly recommend these to anyone who is looking to give the Fenix 5 a different look. I have been asked so many times if I have a new watch on, These straps really make it easy to change for whatever the mood or whatever the occasion is.
