I know there's a current or maybe even several threads about 3rd party bands or straps but I wanted to share my experience on a different/new thread. Anyway I ordered the pictured band from Crown&Buckle and after some slight modifications and patience with a 1/16" Husky screw driver I was able to get it to fit. Very high quality leather band and also great service. I don't use my F5s for exercise anymore (I use the Forerunner 645) so I don't have worry about swapping out bands unless I just want a different one. Anyway here's the link. https://www.crownandbuckle.com/rallye-20mm-navy.htmlciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1335913.jpgciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1335914.jpg
looks nice, thanks for sharing. I am using a chinese metal rapid band with the 5s. It fits well and it is more comfortable in my opinion. Into sports I use the silicone band.
