MoKo Watch Band Compatible : Good value and quality replacement straps for well used watch – review after 1 month use

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

TOPsic Compatible Garmin Fenix 5 Straps : Great

I couldn’t stand the silicon band that came with my 935. Softer and fits better for my smaller wrist. Soak them in vinegar water for overnight to take out the smell. Fits perfect and the price is right. Don’t know why people are saying poor quality. Feels and looks like the original. Great straps to switch in — almost identical to the actual straps that come with the watch, though perhaps a very very slight bit more flexible/softer. Great straps and will be buying other colors as well. No reason to buy from garmin and spend >2x as much, these are great. Close to a garmin original but half the price. Catches work well on my fenix5 – look like the original which fell apart after 2 years. No issues with the 40-50 activities i’ve done since buying (cross bike/running). Will look to buy again if i need any more. Good fit and looks good now have yellow and blue :). Like that it arrived with tools required – easy to fit. Fits great, and very secure. I got the neon green one for biki...

Samsung Mobile UK Qi Quick Charging Station – If bought for a note 7 ensure you have a compatible quick charge wire for the dock

Do need to buy compatible wire separately which i was expecting and brought in advance. Can place fingers around charger to use phone and charge at same time. Ok but doesn’t come with a cable or plug. Great samsung galaxy qi wireless charging stand. Works perfectly after using it for a couple of months. Easy and straightforward charges my samsung s6 phone just over 2 hours from 0 battery life. Blue led indicator lights up whilst on charge and when fully charged led light turns green. Purchased from amazon directly. I love being able to see the time without picking up my phone or who’s calling or the date. I love not having to plug it in or out every time i want to use it/charge it. It’s white matching my desk and my other wireless charger and stops the cable always falling down the back. The blue light is a little bright for the bedroom but sort of acts as a night light. It takes a little longer to charge than the cable, even as a fast charger, but it’s an acceptable level. Buying...
