26mm Quick Fit Titanium Band

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. YMMV Again....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.

I've been wearing this bad for about a month now and it is holding up great. I was a little skeptical of the removable links being held together with spring bars (a first for me...usually it is just rigid pins), but I haven't had a single problem. Once you understand they use spring bars, it also makes link removal/addition easier because you don't have to push out pins. The clasp is holding up and hasn't lost any of its retention. I take it on a off at least once a day and I see no evidence of wear. The band is comfortable and hasn't pinched or pulled my hear. The color is holding up great. I'm not overly rough with my watches, but I don't baby them either. The anodization is wearing the tiniest bit here and there, but honestly about as well as I'd expect black anodization to hold up in day-to-day wear. Very easy to attach to the watch using their proprietary quick release system. Heck, it is easier to use than the manufacturer ones. Also, I have a pretty big wrist (just shy of 8 inches) and I still had to remove links. So, I can't imagine it not fitting pretty much everyone. All together, great band for the money.

If you want perfection this may not hit the mark. Where the links rub you can see exposed metal (not black) but that hasnt been visible when wearing the band. I love the band. It will take a bit to adjust it to the desired size, but thats a one time hassle then its always set. I have noticed there are times it feels loose or snug depending on my bodys condition. Its not been a problem, but if your wrists swell much you may want to consider a band with more adjustability. I have a few other options so I swich to a silicone band for workouts yardwork swimming etc. The bands are easy to change. And the clasp on this band makes it easy to take on and off as needed single handed. For the price I think this is a great band. After almost 3months there's no visable scratches or wear.

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.

I bought this to replace the silicon band that comes with tge Garmin Fenix 8 51mm. After two months of daily use I have zero complaints. The ends that attach to the watch itself are spring loaded so they attach quickly and easily but are secure once in place. One warning though. The pins holding the individual links are spring loaded. I assumed they were just solid pins and spent 30 minutes failing to punch them out. Once I became a bit less ham-fisted, I realized finess was needed and not brute force, I got the correct number links out and all was good.

I am very happy with this product. It was easy to adjust and comfortable while wearing.

Personne active, qui n enleve pas la montre ni pour la douche, le sport (c est son but premier d ailleurs) mais pas non plus durant des activités pas forcément appropriées telles que le.bricollage intense, jardinage.. et elle est toujours noir. Déjà 2 mois que je la porte h24. Je recommande

Ok quality but heavy, seems more like stainless steel than titanium...

Im using it for one day now and Im really stoked. Better then expected. Using it for the 7x and the weight is perfect for the watch, it has a good balance now. Also the links are very sturdy so Im not afraid of my watch coming loose during an intense activity, which happend with the silicon wrist straps. and the 7x looks way better with that black titanium band lets see about the longevity, if I encounter any issues I will update this review

sharp looking, comfortable, seems sturdy but I've only had it for a few weeks. Comes quickly, with extra pins and a tool to adjust the length by removing links. fits my Garmin D2 Charlie perfectly and looks almost exactly like the factory strap that was 7.5 times more expensive to buy as a replacement. Very satisfied.
