935 Band Change

Ziegs79
over 6 years ago
My 935 does not have a quick release band, but I would like the option of changing my band to a different colour...
I can only see 'quick release' for Forerunners on ebay.
Has anyone found a good place to purchase other colours?
Is it possible to convert watch to a 'quick release' band?

I am loving my 935!!

Thanks

    i bought several wristbands at aliexpress for a super cheap price (~3€).
    you can easily switch to "quick release", simply unmount the wristband and put the pins back without the wristband and it's done - simply plug in the quickrelease band then.

    You can buy any of those quick release bands that are for fenix 5 (22 mm) . I have bought mine from amazon. :)

    Ziegs79 You are probably confusing a QuickFit strap with a quick release kit. The latter is for efficient placement change between wrist and a bike's handlebar. QuickFit straps on the other hand are just different looking straps for your watch and are easily available in many places, both made by garmin and 3rd party brands.

    Be mindful that the security of non-Garmin bands might be less than desirable. Not necessarily a problem if you run and cycle, but I would not take the chance open water swimming. Considering the price of the 935, saving a few dollars on a watch strap is of minor benefit but could have major consequences

    In my eyes 50€ compared to 3-5€ is a bit more than just "a few $/€". Never had any issue with any of my "3rd party straps". I will never support this high-end pricing for Accessoires

    Yeah. the prices of the straps are pretty insane... I have an official leather and silicon quickfit strap which are great, but too expensive imo. I have 2 silicon quickfit straps from ebay for about a 10th of the price of the official one which is perfectly fine. A bit less sturdy but great for overall use.

    I did however see reports of others with 3rd party straps having less luck, so your mileage might vary. But for running and daily usage I can't see a problem with the 3rd party ones.
