Watch band Fenix 6S Pro Solar - Gold/ Light Sand

Dear Garmin users,

Since just 1 year I have the Garmin Fenix 6S Pro Solar (42mm), edition gold with light sand. My watch band broke and I’m looking for a new one - same edition. Unfortunately, Garmin doesn’t sell this particular watch band on their website and they recommend me to buy another one. Obviously, this is not what I want - it’s looks were one of the main reasons for me to buy this watch! Besides that I’m disappointed that my watch band broke after just one year; I’m surprised and disappointed that for such an expensive (and popular) watch they doesn’t deliver any replaceables. They force me to either buy a watch band that doesn’t match the watch, or buy a new watch.

I cant imagine that I’m the only one facing this problem. Any other users here who have (had) the same issue? And any recommendations? Thank you so much in advance for your help.
