LDFAS Fenix 8/7S/6S/5S Band, 20mm Titanium Metal Quick Fit Watch Strap Compatible for Garmin Fenix 7S/6S Pro/5S/5S Plus/D2 Delta S/Instinct 2S, Black

Five stars…? Nah… ten stars!!First and foremost this is compatible with the Garmin Instinct 2S Solar! Fits it like a dream.The packaging is nothing special and made me initially think what was inside might be junk, but once opened the quality of the band when taking it out of the package was immediately evident.The finish is really nice — hard to say after one day, but it seems like it will hold up. The weight is a perfect balance between too light (cheap) and too heavy and bulky.Easy installation. Relatively simple to add and remove links to get the perfect fit. There are also two smaller links so if you’re between sizes, you can remove a smaller one instead of full link for that half-size fit.Note on the clasp issue: I have small wrists and have narrow hands and had no issues with the clasp. I think people having issues may have bigger hands.I’ll update the review after using the band for awhile just to say how it’s held up. But if you’re looking for a nice upgrade from the stock sport strap, I cannot recommend this enough.

Worn every day for about 1 year now, it's been comfortable and still in great shape.

Good quality, good value for the money. It’s titanium, so it is lightweight, but the black color seems to be a coating that will scratch off with time. The clasp is a little finicky, but once you get it closed it seems to stay closed while you wear it. The little clamps that attach the band to the watch do work very well, just as good as the Garmin ones. Finally, I found that removing links to size the band was actually pretty easy. The links are held together with those old fashioned springy watch pins, and they include a couple of extras in case one springs out of your hand and goes flying across the room and you lose it. There’s a little tool to push the pins out, but re-assembly requires some finesse. I just hold the pin down with the little tool, then slide the link halfway over the pin, pull the tool out, then slide the link the rest of the way over the pin until I hear a tiny “ping” sound of the pin springing into place. In all, it took about 10 minutes to remove 6 links and reassemble the band. The nice thing is that there are both full-size and half-size links, so you can get the fit just right. That’s important if you want the watch’s heart rate monitor to work.

Great looking watch band that give my Fenix 8 a class look. Easy to adjust the length for proper fit and feels very secure on the watch.

Love this band.I have the Fenix 6S Sapphire with DLC coating (black) and this goes perfectly in my opinion.The watch came with a rubber band that's great for roughing it but I wanted something a little nicer looking for everyday casual wear. This fits the bill perfectly.I haven't actually weighed them but they don't feel any different in that respect on the wrist, it is titanium and not heavy steel. I found it easy to adjust the size with the included tools and parts, plus the inclusion of the two half size links on the band as delivered allowed me to fit it perfectly for a snug but not too tight fit for the sensors to work properly.The quick fit connectors are actually easier to attach and remove from the watch face than the factory band due to the "little finger nail handles(my words)" that aren't present on the one from Garmin. I've done cardio in it without noticing but make sure to swap out with the rubber for strength training since it naturally has give in it for that type of wrist and forearm movement. For reference, it takes me under a minute to swap them out and most of that time is spent making sure I'm putting the next one on the "right" direction (read: think it's supposed to go, the way I like it).Prior to purchasing one thing I was concerned about was the durability of the finish, I can be rough on watches and never take them off unless I have to. The only place I see any finish wear is on the under side where the inside clasp hinge rubs against the band. On the outside I have a scratch on the DLC (diamond like carbon) watch face but not a single mar on the band.In summary, I highly recommend this strap whether you are looking for a replacement or just want an additional band to change up the look.HTH someone with their choice - Joey

Was riding my back only to notice my watch was gone. Retraced my steps to find it, run over by a car... Main screen is fine by the back plate is crushed. The pin just gave under no stress.

Very good watch band. Has stood up to years of daily use.

Fits great - looks good (was not sure I would like such a dark black, but it is ok) - fastens easily - and is not heavy
