Quick release band for Forerunner 230

I just purchased a forerunner 230 thinking this would be an easy solution, but it doesn't seem to be as easy as I had originally thought. I would like to use a quick-release band to change the band out often between working out and normal every day activities. I came across the Quick fit bands, but they don't appear to have the size for the Forerunner 230. Then I came across the Barton Quick Release bands, but it looks like the Barton wont work since most watches dont have the T6 screws on the side like the 230 does.

The closest solution I find is something that has a clip that clips on to the existing lug that uses the T6 screws, which would be the Quick fit bands concept but I don't see anything that is made for the Forerunner 230 size.

I have searched and searched for hours online, and I can't find anything. Am I the only one looking for a quick release band for the Forerunner 230? Any suggestions?
  • no Quickfit bands for FR230

    Sorry, but you're not in luck. Though the FR230/235 are not yet that old and are still being sold, they are pretty much near their End Of Life cycle (being a first gen Connect IQ device and not receiving an update to receive Connect IQ2 features) and I wouldn't expect any other first or third party accessories such as Quick Fit release bands for this watch coming out.

    Currently, the only easily exchanged bands are reserved for the higher tier watches of the FR935 and the Fenix 5 lineup.

    Thanks for the input.
