NotoCity for Garmin Forerunner 245 Band Forerunner 55 Band, 20mm Replacement Band for Galaxy Watch 5/5 Pro Galaxy Watch 4 Vivoactive 3 Forerunner 645/245 Music Band

For the most part, its fine. Theres one small detail that makes a big difference from the OEM strap though. The loop that holds the extra strap in place doesnt have a protrusion, so the extra strap keeps getting loose. The Garmin strap had a little protrusion to hold the extra strap section in place. Mine keeps getting loose because of this minor detail. Overall, it does the job, but its not exactly the same.

This very affordable (cheap) bands fit my Garmin 245 perfectly. The material is practically identical and perhaps slightly softer, which feels great. The style and texture are almost identical too, but with many colors to choose from. The only difference I can see is that the original bands come with one loop, while this comes with two loops. It adds perhaps a few more grams to the weight, but is much more secure and hopefully more durable (if one loop broke, there is still another).

This replacement band isnt as soft or as comfortable as the original Garmin forerunner 245 band. This band is slightly thicker, and it is more rectangular than the original band. However, for a quarter of the price that Garmin sells new bands for, this purchase is worth it.

This item fits perfectly and is like the original.

While it is made of a silicone rubber it still not the same as Garmin’s. It feels a tad firmer than Garmin’s. Overall though it doesn’t distract away from its comfort. I wear my watch 24/7 except to charge. The biggest issue I’ve experienced is the band will slip from the watch band loops. The Garmin version only has one loop and has no issues keeping the band in place. This one has two loops which I assume is meant to address this issue but it isn’t perfect. I would say that at least once a week or so I have to re-tuck my band back. The loop with the tab for whatever reason doesn’t secure the band in place perfectly. Nevertheless, this is a good band if you want or need a lower cost option.

Working out well. A little stiff, but much cheaper than the factory band.

Almost identical to the OEM Garmin band. Maybe just a little more stiff but maybe that will improve over time. Very pleased.

Works as advertised

I was on the fence about buying some off-brand chinese clone replacement for my vivomove HR - really love the quality and feel of the OEM band. However, this one seems to be well made and the materials feel great. Almost cant feel the silicon on my wrist its so comfortable and the metal latch seems solid. It even comes with an extra set of quick disconnect bars and two band retention strips. Cant speak to long-term durability, but so far, Im impressed!

I like it. It’s a great replacement bracelet. It’s holding strong.
