After my original rubber bracelet is broken, I looked around for an alternative. My choice fell immediately on the Garmin velcro fastening strap. The idea I found immediately good. Can this band, unlike the rubber band continuously adjusted and therefore very well adapted to the different clothing layers and thicknesses. The exchange works with the supplied tool very quickly and easily. Now comes the BUT: No one comes first to wash up with the idea his watchband. This is necessary but in this after some running sessions. Sometime around me a smell that suggested to be entered on the track in any pile. The stirred but as it turned out, of this bracelet. Eventually it became so bad that I decided to wash it. A short time later, however, it began again to stink. Although dismantling is very simple, I think it is very costly. Who wants to run every other break down and wash his watchband ?? not me.
