Frequently Asked Questions
What size band does the Garmin Instinct E take?
It depends on the case. The Instinct E 40mm takes a 20mm band and the Instinct E 45mm takes 22mm, so the width follows the watch size rather than the model name. Check your case size before ordering - the two are not interchangeable, and a 22mm strap will not seat in the 40mm watch.
How do I tell whether I have the 40mm or the 45mm?
Check the model name in Garmin Connect under device settings, or read the case back. The quickest shortcut is the strap already on the watch: if it measures 20mm you have the 40mm, and if it measures 22mm you have the 45mm. Measuring the strap is more reliable than judging the case by eye.
Can I use any 20mm or 22mm band?
Width is the starting point, not the whole answer. The spring bars matter too - a rugged case like this one wants thick heavy-duty bars, and many off-the-shelf straps ship with thinner standard ones that can bend or pull free under load. Band ends vary as well: some sit flush against the case, others leave a gap.
Will Instinct 2 or Instinct 3 bands fit my Instinct E?
By width, not by model name. The Instinct E 45mm takes 22mm, the same as the Instinct 2 and the Instinct 3 45mm, so those straps will physically fit. The bands here are listed for the Instinct E, which takes the guesswork out. Our Garmin Instinct 2 bands collection covers that watch.
