Straps for Garmin smartwatches

Garmin has long been recognised as one of the leading brands in smartwatches and sports watches. Whether you're a dedicated athlete, an outdoor enthusiast or simply looking for a stylish smartwatch for everyday wear, there's a Garmin model to suit your lifestyle. And just as important as the watch itself is the strap you wear it with. The right Garmin watch strap not only improves comfort but also enhances the appearance and practicality of your smartwatch.

Why Buy a New Garmin Strap?

Replacing your Garmin strap is one of the easiest ways to completely transform the look of your smartwatch. You might prefer a sporty silicone strap while training during the day and a smarter leather or metal strap for work or dinner in the evening. With most Garmin watches, changing straps is quick and effortless thanks to the convenient quick release system, allowing you to swap straps in seconds without using any tools.

A replacement strap is also a practical solution when your current one starts to show signs of wear. After months of daily use, exposure to sweat or regular contact with water, a strap may become less comfortable or lose its appearance. A new Garmin watch strap makes your smartwatch look and feel like new again.

Garmin Strap Sizes

Garmin produces smartwatches for a wide range of users, from runners and cyclists to outdoor adventurers and even pilots. Because of this, Garmin watches are available with several different strap sizes, which can sometimes be confusing. Below you'll find an overview of the most common sizes.

Garmin 18mm Straps

The 18mm size is one of Garmin's smaller strap widths and is commonly found on watches designed for slimmer wrists. Popular models include the Garmin Vivoactive 4S, Garmin Venu 3S and the latest Garmin Venu 4 (41mm).

These models all use 18mm quick release watch straps, making them easy to replace without any tools.

Garmin 20mm Straps

20mm is one of the most widely used Garmin strap sizes. Many popular models use this width, including the Garmin Vivoactive 5 and Vivoactive 6, the original Garmin Venu and several Garmin Vivomove models, such as the Vivomove Trend and Vivomove Style.

Garmin 22mm Straps

Garmin also offers many watches that use 22mm quick release straps. These are typically the larger models, including the Garmin Vivoactive 4, Garmin Forerunner 265 and the latest Garmin Venu 4 (45mm).

Within the 22mm category, you'll also find Garmin's QuickFit straps. Although these are also 22mm wide, they use a different attachment system and are commonly found on models such as the Garmin Fenix, Quatix and Epix series.

A Wide Choice of Materials, Colours and Styles

Garmin straps are available in a variety of materials, each offering its own advantages. Here are some of the most popular options.

Garmin Silicone Straps

Silicone Garmin straps are ideal for sports and everyday wear. They're lightweight, flexible, water resistant and easy to clean after exercise. Silicone straps are also among the most affordable replacement options available.

Garmin Nylon Straps

Garmin nylon straps are lightweight, breathable and exceptionally comfortable, making them perfect if you wear your smartwatch throughout the day—and even overnight.

Garmin Leather Straps

Leather Garmin straps give your smartwatch a classic, sophisticated appearance. They're an excellent choice for the office, business meetings and formal occasions where you want a more elegant look.

Garmin Stainless Steel Straps

If you're looking for something more robust or contemporary, a stainless steel or Milanese mesh strap is an excellent choice. Metal straps give your Garmin smartwatch the appearance of a traditional premium watch while offering outstanding durability.

Available in popular finishes such as black, silver and rose gold, there's a colour to suit every style. All of our stainless steel Garmin straps can be adjusted to fit your wrist perfectly. We also offer a selection of premium titanium Garmin straps for a variety of Garmin models, providing an even lighter and more durable alternative.

How do I change my Garmin strap?

Changing your Garmin strap is quite easy, and most don't require any tools. Simply slide the QuickRelease pin open to remove your old strap. Your new strap is now ready to be inserted. Simply slide the pins in position, and make sure your new Garmin replacement strap is secure. We always supply an extra set of pins or any necessary tools to change your Garmin strap.

To answer this question literally: no, Garmin straps are not universal. However, there are different strap sizes (18mm, 20nn, 22mm) that fit multiple models.

To ensure you order the Garmin strap that fits your model, you must first determine which model you have. You can do this, for example, via your watch by following these steps:

1. Press 'Menu' to open the main menu

2. Select 'Settings'

3. Go to 'System' or 'About' and select 'About / Device details'

4. Check 'Model name / Device name'

Quick-release straps are straps that you regularly see on the market. These use small pins that you can slide to remove or reattach the strap. Quickfit is a system that Garmin uses for specific models in their range. This system works via a click system with a small lever. Garmin models that use quick-release straps include the Venu and Vivoactive. Watches that use the Quickfit system include the Fenix and Quatix.

Yes, you can replace the strap for almost every Garmin model.

Replacing a Garmin strap is simple and usually takes less than a minute. The exact method depends on the type of attachment your Garmin smartwatch uses. Most models work with a QuickFit or Quick Release system.

Replacing a Garmin QuickFit strap

QuickFit straps are widely used on Garmin Fenix, Epix, Enduro, and Instinct models. Thanks to this system, you do not need any tools.

How to replace a Garmin QuickFit strap:

1. Turn your Garmin watch over so the back is visible.
2. Locate the small locking tab on the inside of the strap.
3. Gently pull the tab backward.
4. Unclip the current strap from the watch case.
5. Place the new QuickFit strap in the same position.
6. Press the strap firmly until you hear or feel a distinct click.

Always check that the strap is securely attached before wearing the watch during sports activities.

Replacing a Garmin Quick Release strap

Quick Release straps are often used with Garmin Vivoactive, Venu, and Vivomove models. Usually, no tools are required for this either.

Here is how to replace a Garmin Quick Release strap:

1. Turn your Garmin smartwatch over.
2. Locate the small sliding pin on the back of the strap.
3. Slide the pin inwards towards the center of the strap.
4. Carefully remove the old strap.
5. Insert one side of the new strap into the attachment point on the watch case.
6. Press and hold the sliding pin, then insert the other side.
7. Release the pin so that it clicks into place.

After installation, always check that both sides are securely attached.

No. Both Garmin QuickFit and Quick Release straps are designed to be changed without tools. This allows you to easily switch between different materials and styles, such as silicone, nylon, leather, titanium, or metal Garmin straps.

On most Garmin watches, replacing a strap takes less than one minute. Thanks to the QuickFit and Quick Release systems, you can quickly switch between different straps for sports, work, or everyday use.

No, because there are so many different Garmin watches, there are different strap sizes (e.g., 18mm - 20mm - 22mm) as well as different connectors (Quick Release and QuickFit).

The size of Garmin strap you need depends on two things: the lug width at the connection on your watch and the attachment system your model has (Quick Release or QuickFit). Most common sizes are 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, or 26mm.

If you are unsure which size you have, you can look it up in several ways. Search for your model via 'Device Settings' in the app to see which model you have. You can also look up your model on the official website, check under 'Accessories', and then click on 'Bands'. There you can see both the size and the type of the band.

To answer the question of which material is better, we need to look at the activity(ies). Nylon straps are very soft, light, and comfortable, making them the best choice for daily use and sleep. Silicone straps are better when exercising because they are more resistant to moisture and sweat.

Yes, Garmin silicone straps are the perfect choice for swimming. This material is lightweight, flexible, and, most importantly, water-resistant. After swimming, don't forget to clean your strap by rinsing off the chlorine or salt water.

There are several reasons why you might sometimes experience skin irritation. For example, this can happen because the strap does not fit properly and moves as a result, causing friction. It can also be caused by (old) moisture remaining trapped inside your strap. A third option is allergy. You may be allergic to various materials. For example, we see that several people have a nickel allergy. This material is often found in metal straps.

When cleaning a Garmin strap, you need to pay attention to several things. First, consider the material. If you have a silicone strap, you can clean it gently with a little warm water and mild soap. For leather and metal, you can use a slightly damp cloth. With these materials, it is important to dry them thoroughly immediately. Nylon can often be washed gently by hand. However, make sure to always let your watch strap dry completely after cleaning before using it again.

No. First, you can only use QuickFit bands on the Garmin Fenix, not quick release. Second, there are multiple QuickFit sizes, namely 20mm, 22mm, and 26mm. Therefore, it is important to know which size your Fenix model has. You can look this up via the app, for example, or check the Garmin website for your model and navigate to accessories --> bands.
