NotoCity for Garmin Instinct Band, Soft Silicone Replacement Watch Strap Compatible with Garmin Instinct 2/ Solar/Tactical(black)

I bought this to replace the OEM band that broke. It’s been used every day for the past 13 months. It gets taken off and put back on at least once every day. It has held up as well as the original Garmin band so far. Is it an exact match in color for the Garmin? No, it is black and the watch is dk gray, but it is difficult to see the difference in most lighting conditions. If you are looking for an exact color match, this isn’t it. If you are looking for one that goes well with the watch at a much lower price point than the OEM replacement, this the one for you. I will say that if I haven’t replaced the watch before this band breaks I will be purchasing this band as a replacement.

I had to use the screws from the old band because the new ones doesnt align correctly and kept falling off.

I don’t have the gap some others were saying when they got a certain one. Could be inconsistencies with the process but mine turned out great fits nice. Quality seems good. I still have the original rods the watch came with so I’m currently using those not the ones this product came with so I can’t speak on reliability on those but can only assume they’d be fine unless you’re ripping on it deliberately. Would highly recommend if you’re lookin for a replacement.

I purchased a tundra color band to go with my graphite instinct. Band is absolutely perfect and in my opinion looks fantastic with the color combination. I immediately ordered two more colors. The tool they give you literally makes it about 10 seconds to change it out. A word of caution… Be sure that both ends of the pin click into place and stay in place. Move the band around a bit with your finger and thumb to make sure it is secure. The first time I thought I heard the click and when I touched the band it came out of the right side. That was my fault because you have to really make sure it clicks into place. The quality to me is 100% as good as the original. If I would’ve ordered the complete instinct watch and this band was on it I would’ve not known the difference. Highly recommend.

I had my reserves when ordering these because of the price difference between these and the OE offerings by Garmin. Well, I am happy to report that these are as good as the OE ones for the time being (one week after installing), and installation was a breeze: simply use the tool to pop off the OE clip, slide the OE band out, and install the new one. I elected to reuse the OE clip pin and keep the tool and the new clip pin as spare. One week in, this wrist band is as good as the OE one.

Much better value for garmin instinct than the standard garmin bands. Would buy again

Very satisfied with this product. I had to replace with old band and the new one is just perfect fit.

Fits great works great

Does the job well and has been holding up so far

I have multiple colors of these bands and I plan on getting more. They’re super simple to swap out with the included tool and they seem to be just as durable as the original Garmin band.
