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

My original band for my Garmin Forerunner 35 broke and I needed a replacement. Loved all the color choices. Got the mint green one and it came with the band, a screwdriver, screws and simple instructions. It literally took 2 minutes to replace my broken band and this one looks great and is comfortable. Very happy!

I received my garmin as a gift from my husband and it only came with a black strap. I would have preferred a different color strap. I found this online and liked the pink color. The strap was easy to put on and a happy wife is a happy life. It comes in a lot of other colors also.

Shipping took a minute, but what do you want? it came from China, man! Wasnt the cheapest option, but it came with extra screws and the correct torx screwdriver to change it with. When you consider that, the price of 9$ shipped to me was excellent indeed. I love the watch, this band just revitalized it, with a fruity new flavor to boot! Well played sender from China, well played....

At first I did not like the extra length, then realized that my watch can now fit my ankle. I like that because when push mowing the yard my steps are more accurate on my ankle than on my wrist which does not move much from holding the handle. Same for shopping with a cart.

The Good: Lots of color choices, rubber is well textured, comes with screws and screwdriver, a lot cheaper than the official Garmin replacement band. The Bad: Clearly this is an inferior product compared to the original and lots of small corners are cut, but nothing thats a deal breaker. The socket that attaches to the main watch body does not have nearly as snug a fit -- with my original band, the band would stay in place even with the screws removed due to the precision tolerances in the sockets. This replacement bands socket is much looser and just looking inside, looks a bit rougher, though once it is screwed in, it feels very secure. Also the edge of the new watch band is a bit rougher. I havent noticed it whole wearing it, and its not uncomfortable, but its noticeable if you look for it. If you look at the photos for this review, you can kind of see the blue band (the replacement) has a bit of a lip on the edge as described, while the original does not. The clasp feels a little bit lighter and flimsier, but still sturdy enough for heavy use. Basically, its still seems like a durable and functional replacement, but also a step down (both in price and quality) from the original. Also, not a good or bad thing necessarily, but be aware the strap is a bit longer than the original.

Easy to install; fit just right

A couple notches longer than original band, but fits well. Nice torx screwdriver included

I got this strap for my Dad, which was the perfect replacement for his watch. He is so happy since he uses it daily since I got it for him. Thank you for making it easy for me to help his health and happiness. :)

Easy to install and the perfect fit as seen in the photo for instructions!

The band fit my Garmin quite well. I was pleased that the tool included to remove the screws worked well and without issue.
