These moko bands lack some of the sculptured cosmetic design of the garmin bands, but the silicone is of a similar feel and quality. Six wristbands for just £13. 99 – a bargain at that pricefor a comparison between these and the garmin original, see the black bands in my photo.
These watch straps are brilliant, great value and, in my opinion, better than the genuine ones. They are more forgiving than the original, this means they sit more comfortably on the wrist (they stretch slightly when fastening). They come in numerous colours, are easy to change and great value (buying in packs makes them even cheaper). I’ve got 9 or 10 of these, i wear them with a fenix 3 and i thoroughly recommend them.
A great price for two replacement bands. These were bought after the original started to split after about 18 months (which seems common). These bands are great replacements – identical design but in a softer, more flexible material. It’s fun to have a colour in there (i got the red) and at a fraction of the official garmin price i’m very happy. Product comes with two posi-drives to remove the spring bars. Note that, unlike some replacement band packages, this does not come with replacement spring bars (which is no problem given that you already have some. )edit: score reduced to four stars on noting that the clasp appears to be plastic unlike the really nice metal clasp of the original. Makes for a cheaper finish, but the comfort of the band overall is rather better probably.
I purchased this like so many others as my original strap had fallen apart, albeit after 2 years of use. Very supple and comfortable with no problems thus far (i’ve only just received tbh). Great price considering you get two straps, so if one does fail after a while i’ll have a backup. The red coloured strap is just like the original, which is my preferred choice. Normally i’m a little sceptical about buying low cost – buy nice, pay twice i always say- but the original is way too expensive for what it is. Came with the tools which did the job nicely, if i remember i’ll post an update on how well the strap has weathered. Ok i’ve been wearing the red strap now since i last wrote this review and it’s held up really well.
So far so good it’s been 1 day since fitting the new strap. The material is a lot softer than the original garmin strap. The build and quality of the strap seems as good as the garmin. I will update this post in time but so far so good.
This product is a good replacement for the original strap. Proseasy to fitcomfortable, i. It isn’t a direct replacement. It does look slightly different. The strap is thinner than the original, which isn’t an issue for me but be aware. Also the clasp is black whereas the original was brushed metal. You can see this in the product picture. Good value functional replacement and would recommend.
These are a a quarter of the price of an official garmin strap, and you get two of them. It’s much softer, which i find more comfortable too. The red matches the red in the watch face and the black is a stylish matt. The clasps are of a good quality and the strap holder is robust hard plastic and effectively a copy of the original design. Fitting took less than 5 minutes (to a fenix 3) and two tools are included (which are used against each other) to remove the screw and rod from the watch. It doesn’t come with spare rods or screws, so don’t lose them. *** pros ***- fantastic value- great quality- two straps- two tools- easy to fit- pleasing appearance- very comfortable*** cons ***- not officialoverall, i’m glad i bought these over the official garmin options.
I use my garmin fenix 3 for swimming, walking and hiking. The replacement straps are comfortable, functional and very similar to the original. Two months in and no defects yet. As 2 are supplied one red and one black i am hopeful they will last. I have always worn a black watch strap but am now using the red one out of preference. The black will be used for more formal affairs. An excellent replacement for my 2 year old garmin strap.
A good set of straps for a low price; i’ve been using the red strap for a reasonable while now and have had no concerns about the strap in any way, however, it seems that the silicone-esque material can irriate skin with extended wear, especially when sweating. Whilst i would expect this, i find the original garmin strap to be less prone to causing irritation.
When replacing the strap on a relatively expensive and well used sports watch the concern is obviously one of quality and durability, especially if purchasing a non-branded, cheaper alternative. The silicon strap which came with the garmin fenix3 had started to tear after 2 years intensive use (daily wear, multiple sports, underwater use etc). The choice of 6 coloured straps presented at a price significantly less than one original is indeed an attractive offer. Having used the replacement strap for 1 month i am satisfied enough to write a review stating that it shows no sign of wear, is as comfortable as the original and has maintained colour. I specifically chose to fit the light pink strap to see if visible discolouration took place. The first picture shows a comparison of the original red strap (bottom) with the replacement (top). Visible are slight variations in moulding and buckle but nothing which is noticeable in daily use. The silicon has a slightly softer feel than the original which appears firmer and has a waxy sheen. The new strap is easier to flex and deform but has no obvious weak-points and has not deteriorated with daily use over the last month. Each strap comes with one tool although it really takes 2 tools to undo the straps from the watch so purchasing in a set of 6 means you always have spare tools to perform this.
