Fenix 5 Plus Titanium Alloy Band

Love the feel and look of my Garmin now. The OEM silicone band just didn't fit 100% right. Plus, the outer coating of the silicone (which gives it matte finish) started to wear off not even into month of owning my watch. Now, I will admit I am hard on my watches, I'm a mechanic and work on everything from cars to widebody aircrafts. So naturally my watches are subjected to harsh chemicals, abrasion, and impact. But I should probably get on with this review and talk about the watch band.Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Is it titanium? I would say a portion of it is. Is the band super light? I wouldn't go that far... I suspect the clasp and end links are stainless steel while the body links are titanium (which is how most watch Maker's build their watch bands, just ask Casio) so there's a little bit of weight. But I feel the balance is very good overall.The color is awesome! The matte fit and finish compliments the watch very nicely. Is it durable? I frankly just don't know. I just put the watch band on last night and haven't really exposed it to my work environment. By the looks of things, the band is just painted (where the lower purchase price of the band comes into play), not electroplated. So I'm sure here in the next couple of weeks, I'm going to see some wear. Thus, why I gave it 3 stars for durability.And lastly, sizing this watch band is not tough as some others have suggested. It's not the best, but with some patience, links can be removed fairly easy. What I do love, LOVE, about the band is the different size links. It allows the watch band to be honed in on your wrist size, allowing the perfect fit. So I gave adjustment 4 stars.All in all, 5 stars for the band. Hopefully the finish will prove to be more durable then my initial evaluation. But time will tell...

Easy to install and to resize. Comes with several resizing tools. I broke one, and had spares. It is light and comfortable. Doesn't pinch or pull hair. Is it real titanium? Not sure, it is definitely painted and although it resists scratching well, after 3 months of nearly daily wear, it is showing signs of use. I would recommend for the price. Much more convenient to use than the rubber bands out there, better looking, and more comfortable.

The media could not be loaded. Great product! I’m surprised with the material quality and finish.Pros:- easy fit- material & finish- all tools included to remove the original and adapt the fit of your wrist- stylish look- match the of my Forerunner 945- comfortable- not heavyCons- Not good to wear while exercising

Liked it pretty well at first. Some kind of sharp edges on clasp that you can deal with, but at the 6 month point it is garbage. The springs inside of the quick release attachments have rusted completely and crumbled into pieces. Simply falls off the watch body and you’re lucky if you don’t lose the watch. Mine ended up at the bottom of the pool. Lucky it wasn’t the river or ocean or that it didn’t slip off somewhere without noticing and the $600 watch is just gone. Company hasn’t responded to my questions about warranty. Disappointed and angry!

It just got this today and it snapped on real easy. It was easy to adjust links to fit my wrist. My skin doesn't like rubber, silicone or leather straps and Garmin only offer 2 metal bands and I was not paying the price for theirs. It is comfortable and the latch seems to be sturdy. Give it a few months use and hopefully it is still a good band.

This watch strap has exceeded expectations. It is comfortable, looks great, and has stood up to my daily routines without any noticeable scratches. Easy to remove from the watch face as well as easy to unstrap/take off the wrist.

It looks really good, fitted great after taking away a couple of links (the give you the accompanying tools for free). The quick locks are a little bit stiff but I prefer that to loose ones (kept loosing my other one I used to own, another brand from another seller).

I was using my rubber band for years after I bought my Garmin golf watch and it was OK but not as comfortable. Then I did a search on Amazon and found lots of options. Who knew? I purchased this band and love it. Easy to adjust, comfortable, functional, and great looking.
