Abanen 22mm Nylon Military Style Watch Bands for Garmin Instinct 3 45mm /Instinct 2 Solar, Woven Fabric Durable Wristband Strap for Instinct E 45mm/ Tactical/Tide/Esports

Fantastic replacement band for my Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Watch! The silicone band bothers my skin especially since I run and swim, so I needed a nylon band but wanted something that would also dress my watch up. This band is perfect! I bought this band a little over a year ago and loved it…. Until the one piece the band slides into to keep it in place broke. I was going to just sew it back together but noticed build up and rust where there are teeny staples that keep this together. Considering I wear my watch 24/7 for running, boxing, swimming, and keep it on when showering (I'm getting ALL my steps lol!), I did have to replace it & I’m OK with that: for the price it held up better than I thought it would and if I need to replace it annually that’s just fine.I do have a smaller wrist so I’m on the last hole to buckle it in, but it still fits and looks good. Took maybe 2 days to soften the nylon as it’s pretty thick which also means durable (to be fair, the original probably broke from my boxing & heavy bag work!).I’ll definitely recommend this band and get a new one when the current one needs to be replaced.

Love this watchband. Very sturdy. Well built. Plenty of room for larger wrists. Plenty of notches for smaller wrists. The watch pins that come with it are the correct length, but the diameter of the pins are too wide to fit into the holes in my watch. I simply reused the pins that came with my watch.

If you beat up your instinct like I do, then I would highly recommend this band. The Garmin rubber bands are junk. The only reason why I did not give this five stars is because I feel that the manner in which the leather is placed at the top of the band could be more seamless and better quality. Other than that, I think it’s a great band and much more doable than the standard band. The color did fade quickly however I beat my watch up and the band is a part of it.

Excellent replacement for those icky default silicone bands. The fit is perfect, does not stretch, looks awesome, black on green, solid materials construction for every day wear. 10/10 would always recommend. Built to last…

Arrived fast. Worked great to replace the original band on my Garmin Crossover watch. Way more comfortable and less irritating to my skin when wearing and sweating all day. Looks good and doesn't stand out when in uniform.

This watch band stinks. Like smells. It smelled odd on day one and has gotten only worse as time goes on. I have tried to clean and scrub it multiple times with no improvement. I have now given up and reverting back to a silicone band similar to the original.

Have had this watch band for just over 2 months and I like the durability and feel of it. It’s been comfortable to wear for long periods of time. However, the watch band absorbs dirt, sweat, and whatever else making the band smell bad. I would purchase a different band if I could go back.

These fit perfect and are very easy to replace. They give you the tool needed and takes maybe a min or two to do. This band lasted well over a year and a half of every day use between workouts, hunting, and working the garage. Would say they are just as durable as the Garmin version but much cheaper. Ordered the two pack now… should be good for another 3 years if the watch lasts that long.
