5 Pack Stretchy Nylon Watch Bands Compatible with Garmin Venu 3S/2S/Forerunner 265S,18mm Loop Elastic Fabric Adjustable Sport Strap for Garmin Vivoactive 4S/Forerunner 255S/255S Music Women Men

I purchased this "5 Pack of Stretchy Nylon Watch Bands" in October 2023 and it is currently March 2025 so I've had them about 17 months. I wear my Garmin Venu 2S every day and have a love/hate relationship with these bands (mostly LOVE). I love that they are stretchy, easy to put on and I can comfortably wear them almost 24/7 (other than when I shower). I prefer them over the silicone bands because they breathe and I like that I don't have to mess with a buckle closure. I have a small wrist (5.5") so the thing I don't like about them is that they stretch out over time and won't adjust tight enough to be snug after a few months. The watch constantly flops and usually sits under my wrist, rather than on top of my wrist. If you have a larger wrist, you probably won't have this issue. For the current price of only about $3 each, it's ridiculous that I don't just replace them rather than being frustrated. I've gotten more than my money's worth out of them. If they made them so that they could adjust even smaller, that would be amazing. I'm still giving a 5 star rating because I paid $11.99 for these and have definitely gotten my money's worth out of them.

Super simple to change out - easy to put on and off. I haven't had any issues with them standing up to all of my activities like running, working out, swimming, sleeping, etc. They are multi functional. Super easy to wear and can be adjusted to your needs, I haven't had to wash them yet but seems easy enough to keep in good condition or throw in the laundry to get clean when its time. They have stood up and are very durable.

After 3+ years of continuous wear, my OEM Garmin 4ST watch band finally gave out—expected, given near-daily use. I evaluated several alternatives: rubber (comfortable but irritating and less stylish), leather (chic but impractical for training), and mesh bands, which struck the right balance between durability and flexibility.What works:These mesh watch bands are widely available and competitively priced. They’re easy to adjust and swap out, making them cost-effective over the long term—likely extending lifespan by 2–3 years over standard rubber bands. They’re also secure; the pin lock system has held up well, with no concerns about the watch detaching. The fit is consistent and you can apply this at the wrist, radial, and even middle forearm (it does stretch that much).What doesn’t:Over time, tension loss is noticeable, especially with high-intensity activity. During rides, the band gradually slides down my forearm, requiring frequent repositioning. Moisture retention is another issue—sweat saturates the band and it stays damp for hours.My solution:A three-band rotation: one for workouts, one for daily wear, one for dress. This ensures I always have a dry, comfortable option and minimizes skin irritation.Bottom line:If you’re willing to manage the tradeoffs—slight slippage and some maintenance—mesh bands are an excellent, budget-friendly upgrade to rubber.

Very comfortable watch band. It’s been very breathable and drys out pretty quickly. I’ve loved changing the colors and enjoyed this band very much!

I have a terrible time with the silicone bands that come with the Garmin watches. I tried several replacements but kept getting terrible rash after terrible rash. Finally I found these bands and they have solved my problem!These bands are not only functional, they come in cute colors that I can match to what I’m wearing. They are very easy to swap in and out. But best of all, they cause me no irritation even when wearing for 24+ hours at a time.The band adjusts easily to my wrist and stays in place. The extra band (from adjusting it) does not add bulk. The band is stretchy enough to be able to easily take the watch off and put it on but not so stretchy that it ever feels loose. I have worn this in the pool and it’s quick drying as well.I’m so thrilled I found this band for my Garmin Venu 3S!

These are easy to put on my Garmin Forerunner 265S, and I'm really pleased with the quality. They stay at the spot you want them without loosening, and they hold up very well through both sun, water, and sweat. I've been using them for several months and they're just as good and not smelly. Plus super cute!

A couple of the watch bands arrived broken with the tiny metal clasp/ lock-in mechanism falling out of the plastic housing. Notified the seller but never received replacements for those bands, and now blue have broken since. Maybe a bad batch but I believe these are simply very cheaply made. Unfortunate, because I like the appearance of these and the stretchy feel compared to silicone bands which irritate my skin is nice. Not sure if I will continue using these bands since if they break while being worn it would put my expensive watch at risk of damage/being lost entirely.

I love the designs but the pins are too short to fit in my Garmin Forerunner. I had to replace them with my old ones instead, and that was pretty easy to do.
