Does anyone know where i could purchase a metal strap for garmin forerunner 45?

I have recently bought a garmin forerunner 45 and want to change to a metal strap only to find there are only silicone straps. Does anyone know where i could purchase one?

Help would be greatly appreciated

I didn't think the straps were removable on the FR45?

Look at the screws... They are removable. But... the construction does not allow for a metal strap.

Just ordered 2 new silicon straps on aliexpress. Mine is almost busted just after 6 months and I don't even wear it very tight and take it off only to charge once a week.

Poor material choice indeed. I will keep a lookout for some sort of nylon option.

Odd, I bought mine 7 months a go. I wear mine all the time including sleeping time and it looks like new.

Do you shower with the watch on your wrist? I usually take it off, even though it's 5 atm waterproof.

I'm allergic to the strap, so am looking for a replacement in another material. All I can find are silicon straps. Has anyone found any other?

Be careful with third-party replacement straps. I bought one for my Forerunner 35. It looked fine, but the screws were a tight fit in the lugs on the watch. Not long after, one of the lugs cracked and the other broke off completely. Can't remember why I didn't re-use the original screws, but this sounds a good idea if you can.
