Vivomove Style - Nylon durability

Hello,

I've previously had a vivomove HR. Since 04/2019 I have a Forerunner 45, but I want to go back to something more "classy" and with more metrics.

I've ordered the Vivomove Style, with the nylon strap.

How is it holding up after a few months ? I wear the watch everyday, even at night, but I take it off when showering and I don't do sport (except walking of course)

Do you have pictures of it ?

Thanks a lot.

This is after wearing the watch 24/7 (except workouts and showering) since November last year. The only visible wear and tear is a dent between numbers 5 and 6 - I hit the watch pretty hard on something…

Great thanks ! Is the band extremity peeling ?

Not sure what do you mean - there's nothing peeling, a little bit of wear on the edge of the band. But barely visible.

By "peeling" I mean some fiber coming out of the band.

Anyway, I have also ordered a black silicon strap

No, no fraying at all. I am surprised by how durable the nylon band is. Also easy to wash/maintain.

So, finally I've purchased an official plastic band from Garmin. It fits well and was easy to put on.

But there is another issue... This time with the watch itself... The black paint is already chipping less than 1 week after purchasing... I'll see what can I do.
