Band - replacement

h=Have you look on amazon.com? I get my replacement bands from there and also a military braid band for my instant solar.

Yes all I am finding are soft silicone or coth straps

Well, there are around 50 different bands for Instinct directly in Garmin's store, including ones made of leather, nylon, titanium, steel, and silicone.

If not, you'll find countless wrist bands on eBay, Amazon, Alibaba, etc, for a fraction of the price at Garmin. Also your local watch store may have matching wrist bands on stock.

yes thought of all those places and looked on Amazon and eBay with no avail.  Was hoping somebody had some sort of source instead of guessing for places for a hard plastic watch band I'll keep looking.  

I am not sure what exactly you mean by "hard plastic". Something made of elements similarly as at metal bands (like on the attached image)?

Oh goodness no.  Like a Resin Strap like what the Casio G-Shock uses. G-Shock_Resin_Band

Perhaps this one could fit (but you better ask the seller first):

If not, contact any specialist and ask for 22m QuickFit bands in the desired material

Thanks not sure I would want to chance international even if I was told it would fit.

In that case go to the closest local store with watches. They should be able to find something suitable for you, and test it right on the spot whether it fits or not.

Thanks but I the jewellery stores in my area will not carry a $10 resin watch band.  I'll keep looking on Amazon and eBay.  Thanks for your input.
