NotoCity for Garmin Forerunner 35 Band Soft Silicone Replacement Watch Strap Compatible with Forerunner 35 Smartwatch

I was about to return this as it didnt seem to fit, but luckily I read someone elses review first, then went to YouTube. Once I removed the white plastic thing the band fit perfectly and easily. Nice product.

I got this back in 2023-May as a replacement to the original band for my Garmin Forerunner 35, which our dog tore while we were playing. This one from NotoCity was fairly easy to install - I was even able to reuse the original 4 screws. I can attest to the band being very close to identical to the original band in size and comfort. Since I have only been using it about a month I cannot yet attest to its durability, but am hopeful.

This is a great replacement strap! My son had been wearing my Garmin Forerunner 35 as a daily watch at school but had broken the loop that secures the strap so it was just flapping around. Ordered this and it was perfect. The straps feel exactly like the originals. It was very easy to switch out and came with extra screws and the screwdriver. And you really cant beat the price. Very happy customer!

I recommend this replacement strap. I had difficult doing the replacement because the amazon website for the strap was confusing. My watch had a white metal strap interface in place when the strap fell off. The instructions say that the white part has to be removed, which is correct, but they do not say how to remove it. It turns out that the white part can be pivoted and snapped out. This was revealed in the Garmin video that describes how to install a new band. Before watching that video I had difficulty trying to remove the white part. A few more words on the website would have made the installation easy.

Worked to fix my problem.

As a watch collector, allow me to refute some other negative reviews, like it doesnt fit....WRONG. Follow the directions (which could be better). Yes, it will not fit if you dont remove the white strap interface. Mine came off with the old strap no problem, so all I did was slip new strap into watch case end and insert with screw. It was really nice they included the special tool and extra screws. I bought this because the keeper on the original strap just broke, leaving the strap end sticking out. The new strap has TWO keepers, nice!!! Another pro is the length. The old strap was barely enough length to fasten it around my wrist above the wrist bone as recommended. This one is slightly longer. No more trying to slid the keeper over the remaining millimeter of strap once it was buckled. The strap itself is at least as thick as old original, and appear identical in texture and width.

The bands fit really well and are comfortable to wear. The big issue is the band breaks where it connects to the pins. The material the band is made out of is too thin in that area and the pins tear through the material over time. They last about three months then I have to replace it.

I was amazed by how easy it was to install this watch band. My Forerunner 35s band broke in my sleep one night, and Im very grateful for this easy fix. Everything you need is included: the band, new screws and a screwdriver. It comes with easy to follow instructions on how to install the band based on different scenarios of where the band broke. I had the old band off and the new band on in under five minutes. Highly recommended.

Product arrived on time, fit great

Watchband fits as if it were OEM - Will update if it proves less reliable. I like that it has two rubber clips instead of the single one provided on the Garmin 135, since the failure of the clip was the only reason I ordered this replacement. It also arrived same day it was promised. I agree with those who point out that the provided torx screw driver is inferior, but that didnt bother me, since I used a small driver I already had, for loosening the screws and tightening the screws holding the watchband. But since my screw driver had a looser fit, I found it easier to use the provided screw driver to hold the screws to push them through the new rubber band, then tightened them in place with my own tool. Even though attaching the new watchband was difficult, it was a one time job, and I hope the get at least two years worth of wear from it.
