Navy Blue Silicone Strap Loop for Garmin Approach S5, 22 mm
Compatible with the Garmin Approach S5, this navy blue silicone loop keeps the 22 mm strap neatly fastened whether you…
passant-GarFo-07-1Designed for the Garmin Forerunner 235, this black silicone strap loop fits its 22 mm strap and grips the free end so the watch stays where it should during a run or a swim. The silicone is soft against the skin yet hard-wearing, and it slides on in seconds when the old keeper has torn or gone missing. Soapy water is all it takes to keep it clean.
The standard Forerunner 235 band is black, and so is this keeper. Once it is in place, the repair blends in completely and the watch looks the way it did on day one. For anyone who wears the 235 at work as well as on runs, that understated finish is usually the priority.
Keepers on running watches lead a hard life. They are pulled every time you take the watch off to charge it, they are soaked in sweat and they rub against sleeves. Eventually they tear or stretch until the strap tail escapes. Rather than buying a whole new band, replacing the keeper alone is usually enough.
Garmin straps are not shaped like traditional watch bands. A generic 22 mm ring might pass over a flat leather strap but struggle on the thicker Forerunner 235 band, or twist once fitted. This loop is made for that band and holds it neatly.
There is nothing technical about fitting it: slide the strap end through, stretch the silicone with your fingers and settle it near the buckle. To clean it, a little soap and warm water do the job.
What does 22 mm mean on this Forerunner 235 keeper? It is the width of the strap the loop goes around, measured across the band near the buckle.
Can I wear the black loop in the shower or pool? Yes, silicone is unaffected by water.
