Abanen Hook and Loop Quick Dry 20mm Watch Band for Garmin Fenix 8 43mm / epix Pro 42mm / Fenix 7S/6S/5S, Woven Nylon Ultralight Sport Wristband Strap for Instinct 2S / Instinct E 40mm

Love it, extremely comfortable, very soft, for me superior to original band that comes with watch, especially if you sleep with your watch. It will stink after like a year if you use it to exercise and sweat, but can soak in soapy water or just replace after a while as they’re inexpensive.

The item is perfectly as described. Very neat, perfect size and color to my garmin fenix 7s pro.Highly recommend it.

It’s an ok strap. After 1.5 years of daily use, a couple of the Velcro pads came off. I’d say I got my money’s worth.

I just got this band today. It was easy to install, though a bit thick to poke through behind the quick-fit bars. The velcro seems secure, but I can't yet comment on its durability. The band itself is not very stretchy. I expected it to be like the elastic bands, but it's stiffer and far less stretchy. It has a bit of give to it, but it's more like a losely woven nylon than elastic. It is soft and comfortable, and I don't think it will trap sweat like a silicone band.The biggest plus, for me at least, is that is matches the dark bronze bezel and slate gray case of my Fenix 7s. Not many bands go with this color scheme, and I was very happy to find that the "pink" band has enough black and gray variegation in it to complement the watch. I took a chance, because I REALLY don't like pink, but I'm very happy with how it looks with my watch.Update - May 2025: The band is still going strong. I've had to reglue a couple of the Velcro strips back on with super glue, but they're still sticky and hold the band closed. I've worn this thing 24/7 for over a year now, including in the shower, and aside from a bit of fading from the sun, it still looks new. The fabric isn't pilling or fraying at all. It's a bit softer, but that's not a bad thing. I really like that it doesn't absorb much water, so I can shower with it on. I firmly pat it with a towel afterwards, and I've never had any issues with rashes or discomfort on my wrist. This was always a problem with the silicone bands, and in the summer my skin under the band was constantly irritated from sweat or staying wet after a shower or swim. LOVE this watch band.

The band is comfortable, easy to install, and comfortable. However, the Velcro pieces are simply glued on and after a few months of wear two of them have come off, making the band annoying as the edge is no longer secure. Disappointed with the quality of the strap.

I never write reviews but I decided to take the time because I love this band! I just ordered a second one for when I’m washing the other one. I’m an athlete and I do a lot of track and long distance trail running and functional fitness type movements and my watch constantly slides on my wrist because watch bands are not tight enough. Plastic ones that have holes in them to adjust, give skin rashes from sweating and the moisture getting caught underneath them for long periods of time. So a nylon watch band was a must. This watch will adjust as small as you need and stays put. It’s extremely comfortable and I never have issues with the Velcro coming undone or getting stuck on anything. I’d love if they made these bands in some more colors.

Works so much better than the band my watch came with. I have the Garmin Fenix 6s and the original band irritates my skin. I was worried this would be loose or stretch out but so far it fits perfectly and is way more comfortable than the original band. I also took it into the hot tub and it didn’t stretch out and it dries fairly quickly!

Had prior abanen straps in 22mm sizes that fit fine. Based on the descriptions, both the 20mm and 22mm should have been the same size.
