Garmin Band Replacement Straps with Quick Change (26mm)

Yes, in fit and function. These are 26mm straps fitted with quick change adapters, so they slide and lock straight into the same 26mm quick fit mount on your watch, then release at the press of the tab. No tools, no fiddling with spring bars, and you can change colours in under a minute. Think of them as the premium alternative to the genuine Garmin band, with a softer silicone feel and a much friendlier price. You can see the full 26mm line-up on our Garmin Fenix 6X Pro bands page.

They are made from a soft, flexible silicone that stays comfortable all day and does not go stiff in the cold. The two strap halves measure 83mm and 128mm with a traditional pin buckle and multiple adjustment holes, so they suit slim wrists through to larger wrists. Silicone is sweat resistant and wipes clean in seconds, which is why it holds up so well to daily wear. There are 23 colours to choose from, including camo prints in grey, green, blue, red, orange, yellow, white and mosaic, plus a black 3-pack if you would rather stock up.

They are a great all-rounder. Gym-goers like that silicone does not soak up sweat the way a fabric strap does, and the buckle stays put through lifting and rowing. Trail runners and hikers get a secure, low-profile fit under a jacket cuff on long days out. Tradies, sparkies and anyone on a work site tend to go for black, slate or camo since marks and dust do not show, and the band wipes clean at smoko. Nurses and shift workers get an easy-clean strap for long shifts, and travellers and grey nomads often keep a spare colour in the bag because it weighs almost nothing and swaps over in seconds.

26mm is the widest band size Garmin uses, and it is fitted to the biggest cases in the range, generally the X models and the tactical, dive and aviation watches. The quickest check is to pop your old band off and measure the gap between the lugs where it sits: if it is 26mm across, these are the ones. If you are not sure which watch you own, the model name is usually printed on the case back. It is worth checking within a family too, because the larger X cases take 26mm while the standard and S cases in the same generation are narrower, so a Fenix 6X Pro and a Fenix 6S do not share a band size.

These fit the Garmin Fenix 3, Fenix 3 HR and Fenix 3 Sapphire, Fenix 5X and 5X Plus, Fenix 6X Pro, Sapphire and Pro Solar, and the Fenix 7X. They also fit the Quatix 3 and Quatix 7 Solar, Tactix Bravo and Tactix Charlie, D2 Bravo, D2 Charlie and D2 Delta PX, Descent Mk 1, Foretrex 601 and Foretrex 701 Ballistic Edition, and the Instinct 2X Solar. A few of these models use screws or pins rather than a quick fit mount, so use the supplied screwdrivers to remove the old band and reinstall your existing screws before clipping the new strap on.
