Abanen20mm Watch Bands for Garmin Vivoactive 5 / Venu 2 Plus/Venu Sq, Quick Release Canvas Nylon Wristband Strap for Vivoactive 3,Forerunner 158, Vivomove Sport

I liked this new watch band almost from the start but I wanted to give it some time before giving it a review. It's been a month now and I can say that I'm completely satisfied. I originally bought this because I was starting to get a reaction on my wrist from the stock band that came with my Vivomove HR.One thing about the old band that used to bother me is that when sitting at the computer all day, with my wrists on the desk - the loop was pretty chunky with squared off edges and used to dig into my wrist and leave sweaty imprints. The loops (2 instead of 1) on this new band are thin and flexible and do not dig into the wrist.Two words of caution that did not affect my rating:1. The band is quite stiff for the first few days. This is probably normal for any good watch band2. The holes for the clasp felt a little rough around the edges at first. It wasn't painful or anything, just a lite itch. This also went away after a few days.

Scratchy on sensitive skin according to my wife.

Wanted a band that would breath better than silicone. This one seems to do the trick for the most part. Every now and then I'll still take off my watch to let my wrist breath more, but now I can at least stand to wear my watch for over 24 hours at a crack. I like the convenience of a smartwatch so I like to wear it as much as possible. It does take a little bit to dry off when it gets wet, but not nearly as long as I thought it would. And it doesn't soak up water and keep dripping sure getting wet, it just stays a little damp.

Pretty good band here, It's a bit stiff still after using it for a month, but it holds well and is more comfortable than the silicone.

I like this band, but it stretches out quickly. Five days in and I'm already on the tightest hole (I started at the fourth out). This won't work for heart rate monitoring, so I guess I'll just put my other band back on when I need that.

Used this watch band on my Garmin Venu for a little over 3 months. I am not a runner, just someone trying to be more active by walking for now. I have found this band to still irriate my wrist and I need to take breaks from wearing it much like the silicone band the watch comes with. The band is composed of mutliple layers of fabric that have now started to come apart. It's almost impossible at this time to clasp the watch as it has separted at the end that needs to thread through the loops to secure it. I have recently noticed it also has an odor to it. I have considered hand washing it with some mild detergent however since it's now coming apart that doesn't appear to be an option. I have ordered a new band, a canvas one that appears to be well sewn and durable. This band will find it's way into the trash can.

This watch band has a very nice feel. Love that it is made out of cloth and isn't plastic. However do not bother if you have small wrists. It should have a few more holes so it goes smaller.

I like the way it looks. The material is strong however the quick release broke so that made it very difficult to change my band out.I purchased 2 by mistake but happy that I did.

I haven't worn this strap a lot yet, but here are my initial thoughts. The fit is excellent and the quick release makes it easy to install. I bought this band to give me a little variety over the regular silicone strap my Vivoactive 3 came with. The grey colour and silver buckle matches my silver and black Garmin very well. The feel of the material is a little cheap for my liking but I'm going to keep it in rotation with my other straps. It's an inexpensive way to upgrade the look of my watch and keep me from getting bored with what has otherwise been a great smart watch experience.

I hate writing negative reviews, but at times when there are no other options... The feel and look of the wristband is good. Bought it for a Garmin smartwatch. Easy to install, like most bands on the market. But when it comes to taking it off, or tightening the wristband, the metal piece at the end of one of the straps comes off too easily, forcing you to reinstall it every time anew. If you don't have a watch precise screwdriver (smallest size) handy, it can get quite cumbersome to get it back into place. I feel that it is a design and material flaw, but decide for yourself if you want to spend the money. Otherwise, keep looking for a higher quality wristband.

The band is soft and fits comfortably, however the extra band slips out of the second security loop.

Less than 2 hours, the band is already starting to break.

Was nice and comfortable before starting to fall apart after about six months' use.
