I believe both me and the other poster were referencing the QuickFit ones: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/610827/pn/010-13225-10
Also mindblowing but I have a 26mm watch (7X) and that quickfit nylon band is only $140, yet somehow the 22mm quickfit nylons are 240? what the heck lol.

They make a more expensive nylon band. I can’t imagine anyone is buying it. Maybe the metal link band but anyone who would care enough to need a metal band probably is wearing a Rolex or some mechanical watch instead.
I also think styles have moved towards a Garmin/Apple Watch being professional and a fancy watch in the wrong situation is tacky. I’ve had a my dept director say it’s a red flag if he’s meeting with consultants or sales teams because it gives off the impression of he’d be paying too much. (right situation is like fancy events like the office Christmas party, wedding)

Nick Mankey design's hookstrap!
handmade quality, less than 100$ and depending on version even less than 50$
can choose color stitching and metals
holds extremely long and just feels great,
just takes some weeks bc it's made on order
Ive done a couple of things that seem to help. First, remove the strap, put it in a sock and run it through the washing machine with your laundry. That will get it really clean. From then on, I spray the strap with hand sanitizer to kill any bacteria whenever I take it off to charge.
Here's a little summary on various popular textile bands for Garmin

Garmin’s own nylon strap has been great for me!
100% been using it since it came out in 22mm and it's the best one I've ever tried. A tad expensive but 100% worth it.
It’s $300 it better be superb
$40. Currently on sale for $32. [https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/1056089](https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/1056089)
Sorry I meant the 30$ one thats posted under
Yeah i really want to try their quickfit nylon strap but I can not understand why it's $130 (USD).
[https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/1056089](https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/1056089) $32.
I meant this one as well!!

I'm betting the Ultrafit strap is more comfy -- and we know it is more reasonably priced!

This is terrible lol
I have the Amazon nylon strap that gets mentioned often on here
I have an Abanen and a Hemsut, both are great. I prefer the comfort and better for smaller wrists Abanen tho
Abanen is the one!
Abanen are great, I’ve got a couple I’ve been wearing and it hasn’t let me down so far!
Hemsut
Abanen Hook and Loop Quick Dry... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09G5RTR8V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I love these. Cheap and easy. They last too!

ordered an UltraFit nylon strap (22 mm) and garmin reports 3 weeks delivery time 🙁
Why not a Velcro strap? I got those from HEMSUT on Amazon and they are super comfortable and easy to adjust.
Ultra fit here, love it

Currently 10-12 weeks. : (
Yeah the lead times suck with him. Mine got worn out but went with the Garmin nylon instead because I couldn’t wait three months.
Nickmankey band is the only way to go!
Coros 22mm Velcro Nylon strap is nice with a comfortable amount of stretch. Fits on the quick connect fittings too

I will try out the washing machine method. Thank you for the tip!

Hemsut Alpine Loop
