“I'm yet to see how well the band lasts as I would expect it to last for at least 2 years but the band itself does feel pretty sturdy and definitely holds the strap in place (it definitely won't fall out). It overall has a nice comfortable fit like most straps.
The reason I gave it 3 stars however, was that given it was advertised as being compatible with the Forerunner 935, I was quite disappointed to see that the watch strap came with neither the bars to hold it in place (which is OK since your previous watch should have them) nor the necessary screwdrivers to undo the bars. I understand that the Fenix 5, etc, doesn't require these however it would be nice if you could tick a box saying you needed them.”
“I’ve only been wearing it for a few days but so far excellent. I find it more flexible, even like a softer feel than the original. A really nice feel on the skin. The join to the watch face isn’t as heavy duty as the original so hopefully it lasts. I found it easy to put on. Totally recommend.”
