Compatible with the Garmin Vivofit JR 2, this black silicone loop keeps the 16 mm strap neatly fastened whether you…
passant-GarVi-03-5Lost the keeper on your Garmin Forerunner 735XT? This black silicone strap loop is made for its 22 mm strap and stops the loose end from flapping or catching on clothing. Durable, water-resistant and pleasant to wear, it suits training sessions as well as everyday use, and it rinses clean under the tap with a little soap.
It usually happens without warning: you reach for the Forerunner 735XT before a session and the little ring that holds the strap end is split in two, or gone. Without it, the band tip sticks out and the watch shifts around. This black silicone keeper is a direct replacement for the 22 mm 735XT band.
Black gives an exact match with the standard strap and the dark case, so the fix is invisible. It also makes sense on aftermarket bands in bright colours if you want the keeper to recede rather than compete.
Garmin moulds its sports bands thicker than ordinary watch straps, with their own contour. A loop chosen only by its nominal width can turn out too tight to slide on or too loose to hold. This keeper is made to suit the 735XT strap, so it sits flat without stretching out of shape.
Fitting takes seconds and only your fingers. Silicone is an obvious material for a watch worn in all conditions: it does not mind sweat, rain or the pool, and is cleaned with a little soap and water.
Where should the black keeper sit on the 735XT band? Close to the buckle, over the free end of the strap, so the tail stays pressed flat.
Is it worth having a spare 735XT keeper? Yes, it is a small part that is easily lost while charging or changing straps.
