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

Perfect tool to repair your Garmin wrist band

It took only 10 minutes and I have a new Garman watch band.

Buen Productooo!!!

Very pleased with the watch band. Its quality is just as good as the original in my opinion. It fits the Forerunner 35 perfectly, and is not loose or insecure. I used the original screws, but the ones that came with it seemed just as good. The included tool works fine, but you must press hard enough to prevent stripping the screw. If you take off the original band and a hard white plastic piece remains, you must get that part off too. That is part of the original band that broke when you removed it. This replacement band does not require that plastic piece.

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.

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.

Ive held off rating this band until after a few weeks of summer use. The band is much more comfortable than the original and is of better quality. The original band did not make it through the summer before the band separated from the mounting clip.

I had a hard time installing the band on the watch. It seemed simple just to line up the band to the watch and screw in the tiny screws, well it was not like that. I finally realized after an hour there was a lip on the band that snaps into the watch then I was able to screw in the tiny screws. If I have to replace the band again, I know what to do. Maybe the instructions can say snap in the band, then screw.

It helps if you actually read the text. I did not and was pleasantly surprised when this came with screws and a screw driver. Great fit and easy to swap out the bands.

Fits the Garmin Forerunner perfectly.
