Jacquard-weave nylon strap price

Just looked from Garmin site that nylon strap price is 310€, is there a mistake or practical joke? Nylon strap can't be so expensive. It's a strap, not a whole watch.

Yes, it's listed on Epix page. Funny that strap made of plastic can be so expensive. It's having the same price as titanium strap.

That is a Marq watch strap that just happens to be compatible with the Epix 2 size.

Sorry Brian, but the QuickFit 22mm Jaquard-weave nylon straps are NOT exclusively Marq straps, but designed for 22mm fenix/epix watches. See one here: Garmin QuickFit 22mm US$300 Nylon Straps

Wow $300 for a nylon strap. Why would anyone want to pay that - hey I guess we're all different huh....

If anyone wants to explore more realistic alternatives, AliExpress is always a good place to start. Here's the results from their site for '22mm nylon jacquard wave quick fit Garmin replacement strap' - maybe there's something in these results that would be of interest....

Those bands are compatible with the Epix 2, and other 22mm lug width watches because they are 22mm straps, but they were designed and priced for the Marq range. They have fancier clasps and details. The calf leather band is also much more expensive than the regular brown leather band. It is Veblen good pricing and is targeted at the Marq watch customer. I’m not defending the pricing strategy just explaining that they are accessories originally designed to pair with the Marq range which has a different pricing strategy than the fenix/Epix range.

Fenix 7 26mm nylon strap looks pretty much the same and has half the price. Both straps still made from plastic. Interesting pricing strategy.

The hardware and finish is different, but yes.
