ANCOOLfor Fenix 5/Fenix 6/Fenix 7 Band 22mm Silicone Watch Band for Fenix 8 Fenix E 47mm/Fenix 5 Plus/Fenix 6 Pro/Fenix 7 Pro/Forerunner 935(Black)

Recently Amazon had a sale on a watch I like, a Seiko Solar 42mm faced 22mm lug analog watch. A real watch, that tells time, day, date and that's all, what we in the watch enthusiast world like to call a "tool watch". Because it's a tool for telling time. Period. I"m a semi-retired IT engineer and have more than enough screens in my life, I don't need nor want one in place of a real watch too. This watch runs for 10 months on a full charge from a light source and never needs a battery replacement, eat your heart out 3 day smartwatches.I decided being as the watch is black with a sort of stencil font on the face indices that I'd take a chance on this band and accessorize it with a military-looking Army Green silicone band -- Because I do not wear permeable (leather, nylon, canvas, cloth, etc.) watch straps I decided an Army Green silicone band was the way to go with the new watch and put the canvas band that came on it in a drawer. I don't wear NATO straps either, first because they're permeable nylon (permeable is a no-no for me) and secondly because to me they look like someone tried to tie their watch on their wrist with a chunk of old seat belt.This band fits on a 22mm lug's spring-bar perfectly. It's very easy and fast to remove or replace too. I've tried to get it to let go of the spring-bar "by accident" and it's on there very solidly, at least as solid as any other system. I have a rather large 8" wrist and there's room to spare on the band. It's also very quick and easy to remove or replace, I wish more bands would use this kind of system. I wish more bands came in this length too, it's hard fro me to find one that fits without strangling my hand.The "keepers", the little loops that hold the tongue of the strap in place where it emerges from the buckle, have lugs on them that fit in the sizing slots on the band. That's a GREAT extra feature because those keepers tend to wander up and down the watchband without those lugs to hold them in place. This can cause either the tongue of the band or the keeper to snag on something which can break the band or the keeper loop. No problem with this band, the lugs on the keepers stabilize them exactly where you put them. This is something that is not shown nor addressed in the product description and very much should be. It's a deciding factor for me and I might have returned the watchstrap if it didn't have those lugs on the keepers.The band is about the thickness you'd expect and has no discernible taper from lug to buckle. Being silicone it weighs very little and does not appreciably add to the weight of the watch and strap combo. It's just a good, plain, non-reactive, non-absorbent, military looking watchstrap. That will fit on any watch, smart or otherwise, with a 22mm lug. I don't know if I'd use this strap on an Omega or a Rolex, mostly because those are much heavier watches than the one I use the strap on. It's a little plain for a multi-thousand dollar plus watch too, I think there are better choices. But for a watch I got at less than half price and intend to wear every day to save my nicer watches the wear, tear and scratches that come with that kind of use ... This band works perfectly.The only complaint I have with it is that I could do without the little "smart watch" triangles, of which there are three. One on the buckle and one near each lug attachment. But that's a very, very minor issue and not worth taking a star off my review over. I knew they were there when I ordered it and this is a style thing not a failure in design and materials thing. This particular watch that I'm using this band on has a very similar little triangle on the bezel above the 12 o'clock indices so it looks like the strap was made for the watch ... sort of. Actually now that I look at it some more, it looks quite natural.We'll see how long it lasts, I just got it. If it has an unreasonably short service life I'll come back here and add an edit to this review. If you don't see that addition, what I say here stands current.

Bought the 22MM Textured black. Fits my Fenix 7 perfectly (not the XL). Worn for 3 days. The material has a nice smooth quality feel and is comfortable on the wrist. Keeps the watch in place, and the excess strap stays in the loops well. Really good for the price.

As advertized

I had to replace my OEM Garmin Fenix 7 watch band due to tearing of the rubber slot and this product has worked nicely. I can tell this will be much more resistant to tearing but the trade off is that it is a bit less comfortable and feels stiffer. Pick your poison...

Second one in 6 years great quality!

Better than the original.

Bought this for a Fenix 6x and it fit perfect! Easier to clean then the original band to!

Slightly more sticky than the original, but just as durable. Very good value
