I bought a nylon band for my fenix at Amazon (Germany) for 17€: YOOSIDE 22mm Loop. I´m wearing it about 3 months now and i can really recommend it.

Hi! Like few other members I also purchased some bands from Amazon (.de) with branding Yooside. This is a one piece strap with velcro closure. I have to recognise that I had doubts about a strap like that…
Can you post a link? I can't find any nylon bands on the Garmin website that are even near that expensive, I only see them for $60, up to $150 for the highest end ones.
Are you looking at USD prices?
That are silicone bands. You have to look for nylon with stainless steel.

I see two for $60, three for $130, and two for $150, and that's it. Are you guys looking at Australia pricing or something? I feel like I'm going crazy.
Seems they are not available in the US store. I’m looking in the German store.

They most certainly are available in the U.S. Garmin store - take your pick at US$299.99 each here:
And I agree, they are way overpriced.
They are a particular type of nylon weave as opposed to the stretch nylon bands for the Enduro watches.
As usual, price is personal. If the price is not acceptable for any product then purchasers have an option to go elsewhere.

That's a bit better. I didn't think the 26 mm bands were for the regular Fenix. By comparison, $150 seems like a bargain.
It appears that the cheaper nylon bands are available only for the 7x. For the Fenix 7 Garmin offers only the $300 nylon band.
