TRUMiRR Watchband for Fenix 8 51mm / 7X / 6X Pro / 5X Plus, 26mm Quick Fit Watch Band Genuine Cowhide Leather Strap for Garmin Epix Pro 51mm / Instinct 3 Solar 50mm / Descent Mk3i 51mm

This makes a third band for my Fenix 6X Sapphire. I have a black titanium one that I use for work. (With some of the finish wearing off) A nice wood inlay one for casual, and now this leather one for formal/dressing up in a suit. Switching these bands takes only seconds. The leather is high quality, and is very lightweight and comfy to wear.

I have had issues with other bands wearing out, and coming free of my Garmin Tactix Bravo. I have had this watch for years, and it is my daily wearable.Finally! A nice looking band that can keep up with me! The leather is high quality, and just gets better looking the more I wear it.Highly recommended!

I bought this brand because I had bought the same band in a different color that lasted 2 years with no problems except the finish wore off rather quickly. 2 years is about what I got out of the initial Garmin band. Lately the leather was beginning to tear near the clasp. The easy fit mechanism on this one looks identical to the last band and I have never had any problems with it. I knocked off 1 star because of the finish. Hopefully the black is better than the fake crocodile.Update: 3 months in and it still looks good. There is no sign that the black finish is coming off.

For years, I have been replacing pins on the original metal band of my Fenix 5x - what a piece of junk that was. I would loose a pin at least once a month. If it happened during a run, the watch would usually go flying, and it has quite a few scratches from this. I did not want to order a replacement band at the cost of $100+, figuring that eventually the watch would need to be replaced anyway.4 years later, the Fenix 5x is still going strong, and I decided to order this inexpensive replacement band, along with another one made of metal.So far, I like this leather band a lot. At the price point, I can get a new one every year, should it not age well. It is light and comfortable and sturdy and looks good. Can't go wrong with this.

Caution... Too expensive watch to risk losing. Did not last me more than 4 months. Buckle should be stitched and not glued. One could lose their watch swimming or other outside activities. .

This is my daily band for my Fenix. It doesn't give me rash like the Garmin bands, even after getting it wet and sweating in it regularly. The clasp here seems to be improved now too, I've not knocked it off my wrist yet either. Finally, it's been about six months of near constant use and it looks as good as new (although I needsfooted it early on) and shows no sign of breaking/etc like the Garmin si bands. So rock on, 5 stars for a better product than Garmin at a fraction of the cost.

Color looks nice, and strap is comfortable, took only a couple of days to break in.HOWEVER, the quick-release mechanism seems a little iffy. They are tough to release, and I almost chipped my nails trying to do it. I oiled it slightly, hoping that the mechanism becomes smoother. On that note, the clips don't close completely. I guess it closes tight enough, but I'm afraid it will loosen over time such that it detaches by itself. I certainly don't want to lose my watch.As such, I'm not hopeful the strap will last long. Not sure if I got a defective copy. I really love the leather though.

I got the brown leather V-pattern. Its beautiful. I really hope it holds up.
