LDFAS Fenix 8/7X/6X/5X Plus Band, 26mm Titanium Metal Quick Release Easy Fit Watch Strap with Double Button Clasp Compatible for Garmin Fenix 7X Pro/6X Pro/5X Plus/Enduro 3/tactix 7 Bands

When I was in distribution some years back that is exactly what I told customers and prospects I had to offer...they could pick 2. You are not gonna beat this watch band for the price. Easy to adjust fit perfect for me....It’s big enough too (6ft 6in 280 lbs here) came with a few extra links and pins as a result of fitting properly...and I’m not a string bean in stature either....rare for me to find anything that fits much less too big LOL....I can’t really speak for the durability of the band or the finish yet but if the build quality is a clue and the fact it matches the watch color matters to you (sure it does!) then this is your band unless you got money to burn on the $300 Garmin band.I’ll try to break it to you gently folks but this Fenix watch (6X Pro Sapphire) is not exactly the most expensive watch you can buy....it’s not even the top of the Fenix line and Fenix is not even the top of the Garmin offerings....so it makes sense to me that I can find a nice band for day to day wear that does not break the bank and put that silicone band on to use out on the battlefield.There seems to be a lot of knock-offs out there and in fact most are bogus in my opinion...but this ain’t one of em...it’s a keeper and I’m real particular....it had to look good and fit well enough to function properly but still be comfortable....it’s all that.Might buy another one and put it on the shelf....the top shelf at that.One thing I love about this type of band (only type I use....I have a number of watches) is you can pop it off and on quickly (like when washing my hands) and don’t have to fiddle with how many holes till you buckle it....it’s already sized when you snap it shut. Bands with conventional buckles like the silicone it comes with has its place (swimming) and if it’s going to see some ruff use rather than jack this band up (and write a review about how crappy it is) I’ll just take 5 seconds and pop the one it came with on....The quality of construction is pretty close to the quality of the watch...certainly of the band it came with. Again, I can’t speak for durability even compared to Garmins offering but I can tell you 6 of these bands (price of 1 Garmin band) will far outlast 1 Garmin band. Kindly a no brainer really. I also like the spring pins better than the press fit type....much easier and more positive engagement....it matters cause I’m not a jeweler and don’t wanna be.I will mention as 1 reviewer did something about the buckle itself. It IS a gauge down (thinner) from what I have been accustomed to in a band of this type...I'm not gonna ding it for that because the latch works fine and when you close it that effectively doubles the buckle and it would take abuse to damage it...IF you anticipate some extreme abuse in your activities metal bands ARE NOT A GOOD CHOICE no matter what your activity is. Get it? It is my opinion that if the watch band fails at the buckle, it's not gonna be the buckles fault. Some folks can tear up an iron anvil so if your one of em you might not a metal band of any kind. If your gonna go swimming take 5 seconds to swap out the silicone band and then when you go to church put your metal band back on and take advantage of the wonderful "Quick Fit" design. I DO wear mine during my tracking activities because I dont abuse it and I was able to get a great fit. Remember folks, this is a metal band...snug but comfy...it's not gonna give any like silicone will and you might consider if you get a fit that gives you confidence for it's tracking sensors and then if you stack rocks for a living that just might scratch the finish of even a unfinished stainless band...Ti scratches easily. I had a wedding ring made from Ti and same issue, so don't be so quick to critique this bands finish because you got it caught in your belt sander...I'm not having issue with it at all here. YMMVAgain....next month when I get paid I think I’ll get another one before they all disappear like toilet tissue due to the Corona Virus.Update 5 years later 03-29-2025 not a scratch on this watch band finish…. It’s tuff stuff what ever it is.

Love this band, wanted something for my Garmin Fenix 5X, it gives the watch a nice fancier feeling and look. And it’s easy to swap out with other bands using the quick clasps on either end. With plenty of extra pieces of all sizes so you can truly size the band to your wrist for a perfect and comfortable fit.

Works as described. It was easy to remove links to get the right fit. The clasp is great and it looks good.

I’ve used this for a little over a month on my garmin, so far very durable I haven’t noticed any scratches yet. A little time consuming to adjust but very stable afterwards. Looks and feels amazing.

Finally! No wrist rash from my silicone band on my GARMIN TACTIX 7 Pro. I cleaned that thing daily with alcohol to no avail and I only wore it when I slept during my work week and on my day off, so I didn't wear it a lot. Using this titanium band, the redness on my wrist is almost cleared up. It was easy to resize it for my wrist, it's very lightweight, and appears well made. None of the finish has worn off yet. My suggestion, if you need to resize it, do this on a well lit table. The watchband link pin holes are small. I needed reading glasses to see them and the pins are small and thin. When you twist the band, after you push the pin in with the provided tool (don't force it. You could probably use a SIM Card slot tool if you man-handle it an bend it), you have to twist the band a little while the tool is inserted and extract the tool slowly. The pin can shoot off if you don't. I lost one in the rug (the first one of course); however they also provide you 3 or 4 extra pins. I highly recommend it for anyone with a silicone allergy or if you think the Garmin provided web band is too rough feeling, or you get tired of having to wash it if you live in a hot climate to keep it from stinking. This band is also a lot less than the $297.00 asked for the GARMIN brand titanium band.

This strap is still going strong. Has loosened a little and the paint has scratched a bit, but for the money it seems very good 👍

Holding up well. No scratches or marks showing up yet. I wear this everyday all day. I've worn it in the ocean, shower, doing DIY projects, at work exposing it to all kinds of chemicals. Clasp and quality are great. Adjusting the size and attachment was straight forward.

This is really not the best watch strap to have. If you bend the straps inwards close to the attachment pins, the strap snaps off. It doesn't break, but it unhooks from the pins. Thank god it happened on an airplane and not underwater. I would have lost my garmin MK2i.Other flaws: the finish is not great. Just a few days of using it and the strap's color started fading. Where you see the sections locking together with pins- the finish is not even complete there.Overall- not worth the money for me and the high risk with the strap undoing itself at the clamping points is a definite no-no.
