Garmin Watch Straps: FAQs & The Extra information
Which Garmin strap fits Fenix 8?
The Garmin Fenix 8 series uses QuickFit straps, available in different sizes depending on your model. The standard Fenix 8 and Fenix E fits a 22mm QuickFit strap, while the larger Fenix 8 (51mm) takes a 26mm QuickFit strap. The smaller fits a 20mm QuickFit Strap. Always check your exact model before ordering to ensure the right fit.
What is the difference between Garmin QuickFit and Quick-Release?
QuickFit straps are designed for premium Garmin models like the Fenix series. They use a simple clip mechanism that lets you swap bands instantly with no tools. These attach to your existing bars on your watch.
Quick-Release straps use small spring bars that pop in and out, making them a better fit for lighter Garmin watches such as the Forerunner and Venu series. Both systems are secure, but QuickFit is faster to change. These bars are attached to your strap vs your watch when released.
Can I replace my Garmin strap myself?
Yes, Garmin straps are designed to be easily replaced at home. QuickFit straps clip on and off in seconds, while Quick-Release straps require only a tiny pin lever built into the strap. No special tools or expertise are needed, making it simple to refresh your watch with a new look.

How to change your Garmin strap in under 1 minute
Are Garmin straps interchangeable between models?
Not always. The key factor is the strap width and mounting system (QuickFit vs Quick-Release). A 22mm QuickFit strap can be swapped between any compatible Garmin watch that uses the same 22mm QuickFit system. However, you can’t use a Quick-Release strap on a QuickFit watch, and vice versa. Always check your model’s specifications before buying.
Which Garmin strap is best for running or fitness training?
For sports and fitness, silicone straps are the most popular choice. They’re lightweight, sweat-resistant, and comfortable for long sessions. Nylon straps are also great for running and hybrid workouts because they’re breathable and soft on the skin. Leather or metal straps are best reserved for casual or everyday wear.

What size Garmin strap do I need for my watch?
Garmin straps come in different widths: most commonly 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, and 26mm. The correct size depends on your watch model. For example, the Garmin Fenix 6/7 standard models take 22mm QuickFit straps, while the Fenix 7X requires 26mm. Smaller watches like the Forerunner 245 use 20mm Quick-Release straps. You can find strap sizes in your Garmin manual or by checking our menu.

Should I learn or get a pre-connected strap?
