Any third party nylon straps that feel comfortable on the Fenix 7s?

Reading forums and seems the abanen single loop strap and NM strap are decent. Has anyone used these? Any others worth considering?

I understand leather/metal straps are out unless I get one with the quicklink mechanism or break the existing pins?

Same here, Yooside Nylon Band for my 7s and fits perfectly and comfortable. Only sometimes when too tight you can feel the one end on the inside a little more and then I adjust it and make it a liottle…

I use (with epix 2) the abanen/yooside single loop strap and find it very good and comfortable. There are two color versions only, too bad there are not more, I would definitely buy a red one if available.

Any problems with swimming with one?

hi, I use these ones ... they are nearly perfect, and they also fit to the 7x because of non-removable springs.

I've been eying the below one but I haven't purchased it yet:

I tried this for the 7x but it doesnt work because of the not removeable springs ...it´s to thick ...

Really? I have the same one for the regular 7 and it works. It's a bit difficult but with some wiggling it works. The strap is super comfy and stable.

I just got a pack of these today - they look and feel even better, but will see if they hold.

yes, on the 7x the distance feels much smaller ... but with the one you ordered I am happy :-) ... the "usability" with two velcros is ok, not perfect

I also do wish they would have other colors. For 20mm only black. I wish they would add light colors like white, and red and other brighter colors like orange or yellow. Maybe if people buy these bands more they will start selling other colors too.

I own a lot of Nick Mankey straps so maybe one day I will decide to break the pins and changed it against the Fenix 6s ones. This would make things easier.

If Garmin doesn't mind me saying so, I bought the "Noto City" silicone band in red the week I bought the 7XSS. It is indistinguishable from the Garmin band that comes with the watch. It pops up on Amazon US as their top choice and I liked it so ordered 5 more colors. They have 11 colors. Just be careful that you get 26mm if you have a F7XSS. I ordered a 22mm version first by accident.

I'm pretty sure all these silicone bands are the same and all made in China. The "Noto City" has a very good screwed on spring bar on the quick release system and you can change the bands in seconds. They are 13.99 USD which is a lot less than the 50 buck Garmin bands.

I like to change band colors a lot just for fun, but I think the dark blue looks best with the gray or black watches.

This thread is about nylon bands though, and about the 7s size. You can get silicone bands anyhwere from Garmin and Third Party. There really are 1000s of silicone bands out there. But not nylon ones unfortunately.
