Fenix 3 straps for 5x?

Gadgetguy2000 over 7 years ago

Hello all, can one use straps from the Fenix 3 for the 5x (I know, one would need to unscrew the screw holding the strap - but would that work)?

I have a bunch of straps for the Fenix 3 - and do not have my 5x yet , so was wondering...

I am wearing a nice pink one for the 3HR as it is the same size 26mm I believe. Not sure about the size of the plain 3.

Yes. All fenix 3 straps fit perfectly on the fenix 5X.

is this still true for the new 5x plus, as well? specifically, the metal wristband for the Fenix 3, which has no quick release?

Yes, the 5X plus is the same size as the Fenix 5X so you can use the F3 metal band. The only downside is since it has no quick release you'll have to unscrew the bars to put the band on or take it off.
