Band - replacement

I am looking for a hard non soft silicon ban for the Instinct, something like what is on the G_Shock.

I can not find anything but soft silicon. Any suggestions? (No metal either)

Check out the bands for example at https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=YOOSIDE - they have some hard silicone and leather bands for Instinct that do not look too bad, and are not as overprized as at Garmin.

Thanks doesn't seem to offer any resin material. Too bad this one if resin is what I'm looking for: Watch Band

I do not want to disappoint you, but silicone is a resin, just as polyurethane, and other polymers.

I have these two, I'm very happy!

Thanks Trux I think you missed my original question it was for Hard plastic, hard resin etc etc etc. I'm all set you don't have an answer to my original question. I appreciate the effort. Silicon while a resin is soft which isn't what I'm looking for. If you have a G-Shock check out the band... then you will see the difference between that and the Instinct soft band. If you don't have access you can have a look at one at you local Jewelers or specialty store.

Thanks TeaRacer, I tried that top band and it just didn't work for me. The 2nd band in your picture is interesting... how has it held up?

There is soft silicone and there is hard silicone. The link I posted above, list some bands in hard silicone.

The first one I like very much, it is light, very breathable and very strong. It looks pretty good, I've been wearing it for about 6 months. The other has leather elements, looks very good, is elegant. I wore it for about 4 months, sometimes I change it.

i know this post was 4 years ago but after reading your comments and replies, you need to do your own searching and stop being a child

That is what this forum is for.... to discuss topics

If you like a soft silicon Garmin replacement, I got this a few years ago for my I2 (also found one for my 2X but not sure where)... they might have one of the 2x. I would say it was comparable to the Garmin band.
