Which bands do you use for your Garmin watch - do you stick with the one that came with it or change it out for a different look?

The Garmin nylon bands are VERY high quality and worth every penny. I have the 22 and the 26mm. I’ve also used 3rd party nylon bands and I can tell you they’re not the same quality as Garmin. I can’t speak on your FR 920’s silicone strap as my first FR was the 945. I’m also not a fan of silicone bands from any brand including Garmin. But in the end I’ll always go with Garmin. I also recently got a FR955. It doesn’t make since to pay $500+ for a watch and not be willing to pay $50 for a strap. To each his own I guess? My two 🪙’s.

Cool. I haven't tried the latest Garmin nylon bands but I hear good things about them. The last nylon band I used got dirty very quickly with sweat, chlorine saltwater, gatorade & gels which I could not easily clean out of the fabric without putting it through the washer with my running clothes. With the silicone band I just run it under the faucet after every workout, as you say each to their own, I find this just works best for me.

Hasn’t been the case for me. Third party have lasted just as long as the originals

I am so obsessed with silicone straps colors, cant get away from the addiction haha. Tried and returned many colors. Which one goes well with office attire ? 🙂

I have way too many of them but I like switching them out frequently. For a more formal look I use an ANCOOL dark navy blue strap, or sometimes the OEM black strap that came with the Fenix 7X. I think the navy one looks sharp.

Good call for the black strap while competing - I've found that adding dyes to plastics can weaken them. Not sure about silicone but I'd stick to black!

It feels more reliable

Garmin watch bands aren't good for skin allergies.
