In agreement with the other users, Garmin could make the effort to commercialize this bracelet with the Forerunner and the place of the rubber, too stiff and not very accurate.
Besides being comfortable to wear and flatten the watch on the wrist, the bracelet also avoids direct contact with skin Forerunner. According to some, direct contact could cause (small) moisture problems - see comments on the GPS. With the velcro bracelet, it is always dry.
Highlight the "reflective strips" in the description seems overdone; the largest covered part of reflective material (see picture) is completely hidden by the watch fixed it!
Finally, a word of caution is necessary: the heavy rubber bike mount, great mountain biking, you must tighten the Velcro strong, stronger than the original strap ... otherwise cushioning the support is non-existent and the GPS move too much, to the point of typing against the gallows. A check before leaving, therefore.
NEAR 200 KM LATER, I add that, during a mountain bike use with the fixation on handlebars GARMIN provided for this purpose, it is necessary wedge a piece of rubber or other shock absorbing material between the GPS and bracelet! I'm very strong shake, move the bracket to the hanger, nothing to do, the GPS move. Given that this is due to the design of the bracelet itself, I take off a star.
