Abanen Leather Watch Bands for Garmin Fenix 8 / epix Pro/Tactix 8 (47mm), QuickFit 22mm Soft Genuine Leather with Silicone Sweatproof Wrist Strap for Fenix 7/6/5, Instinct 3 45mm

Good, clean, looks nice.

Wish I had bought one of these years ago! Classic leather look with soft, flexible, broken in out of the box silicone feel. Just a great product. Update: Deducted 1 star, it has a 1yr warranty, and the leather delaminated from the silicone after 16 months. Not perfect but FWIW I just ordered another.

I purchased this band about 12-14 months ago, fits nicely into the band holder, has worn very well for the time I have had it, the holes have not elongated or anything. I had a different band that showed sweat stains and started to smell, this one does not have that problem. 100% will buy again.

The Abanen Leather Watch Band for the Fenix 5 serves its purpose and looks decent from a distance. It provides a nice alternative to the standard bands, adding a touch of classic style to your watch.What I Liked:Affordable Price: For the cost, it’s a budget-friendly option that delivers on functionality. It fits well and stays secure on the watch.Classic Look: The leather adds a traditional, stylish touch to the Fenix 5, which can be a nice change from the typical sporty bands.Functional: It works as expected and holds up well for everyday wear, making it a practical choice if you’re looking for a new look without breaking the bank.What Could Be Improved:Quality Up-Close: While it looks decent from a distance, up close, the quality feels a bit lacking. The leather and stitching appear cheaper, which might be noticeable to those who inspect it closely.Durability Concerns: Given the price, it’s understandable, but the band may not hold up as well over time compared to higher-end options.Overall, the Abanen Leather Watch Band for the Fenix 5 is a good option if you’re looking for an affordable, stylish alternative. It serves its purpose well, though the quality might not impress those seeking premium craftsmanship. For the price, it’s a solid choice and offers decent value.

I'm purchasing this exact same watch band for a second time because of how well it held up for the past 2 years that I've had it. Really well made, The brown started to come up on the edges after about a year, the rubber started to crack at one spot about 18 months after purchase, but the clasp and the quick pins which are still strong. Finally decided to replace when the end of the strap broke off as you can see in the photo but overall never failed till the end.

I bought this expecting a genuine leather wristband, but it’s mostly silicone with a thin "leather-like" piece slapped on top. It looks cheap, feels plasticky, and definitely doesn't justify the price. Very disappointed—this is not what I thought I was ordering. Feels like a bait-and-switch. Avoid if you're looking for real leather.

I do like most products from this company, but this leather band is just cheap looking. The brown color is nice, but the black silicone lining shows on the sides. It's also uncomfortable to wear as it feels stiffer than a normal silicone band. I would return it, but sadly, my husband threw out the packaging. Slightly difficult to attach to watch but not too bad.Positives: fits watch well. Good color. Not great value for the price as it just resembles a silicone band.

I have been using this band on and off for 2 years. It provides an excellent option for a more stylish look to my Garmin Fenix (compared to the standard silicon band)
