Band - replacement

I am looking for a hard non soft silicon ban for the Instinct, something like what is on the G_Shock.

I can not find anything but soft silicon.  Any suggestions? (No metal either)

  • Check out the bands for example at https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=YOOSIDE - they have some hard silicone and leather bands for Instinct that do not look too bad, and are not as overprized as at Garmin.

  • Thanks doesn't seem to offer any resin material.   Too bad this one if resin is what I'm looking for: Watch Band

  • Thanks doesn't seem to offer any resin material

    I do not want to disappoint you, but silicone is a resin, just as polyurethane, and other polymers. 

  • I have these two, I'm very happy!

  • Thanks Trux I think you missed my original question it was for Hard plastic, hard resin etc etc etc.  I'm all set you don't have an answer to my original question.  I appreciate the effort.  Silicon while a resin is soft which isn't what I'm looking for.    If you have a G-Shock check out the band... then you will see the difference between that and the Instinct soft band.  If you don't have access you can have a look at one at you local Jewelers or specialty store.

  • Thanks TeaRacer, I tried that top band and it just didn't work for me.  The 2nd band in your picture is interesting... how has it held up?

  • Silicon while a resin is soft which isn't what I'm looking for. 

    There is soft silicone and there is hard silicone. The link I posted above, list some bands in hard silicone.

  • The first one I like very much, it is light, very breathable and very strong. It looks pretty good, I've been wearing it for about 6 months. The other has leather elements, looks very good, is elegant. I wore it for about 4 months, sometimes I change it.

  • i know this post was 4 years ago but after reading your comments and replies, you need to do your own searching and stop being a child

  • That is what this forum is for.... to discuss topics

    If you like a soft silicon Garmin replacement, I got this a few years ago for my I2 (also found one for my 2X but not sure where)... they might have one of the 2x.  I would say it was comparable to the Garmin band.
