Black Silicone Strap Loop for Garmin Vivofit JR, 16 mm
A split keeper is one of the most common faults on a well-used Garmin Vivofit JR strap. This black replacement loop,…
passant-GarVi-03-4Designed for the Garmin Forerunner 935, 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 Forerunner 935 is a serious training watch, and a keeper that no longer grips undermines the whole set-up. When the tail of the band works free, the watch can rotate on your wrist and the strap catches on sleeves. This black silicone loop gets the 935 band back in order.
It is designed for the 935 strap, 22 mm wide, rather than for generic watch bands. That detail matters, because Garmin straps are bulkier and more contoured than standard ones and need a keeper that follows their profile.
In black the loop matches the stock band exactly, keeping the technical, all-dark appearance many 935 owners prefer. On a coloured third-party strap of the same width and shape, it reads as a neutral accent tied to the case.
Fitting is done in a moment: push the strap end through, stretch the soft silicone with your fingertips and position it near the buckle. Washing is just as easy, with lukewarm water and a drop of soap. Silicone does not soak up sweat and is untroubled by rain or swimming.
Do I need to remove the band from the Forerunner 935 to fit the keeper? No, the loop slides over the free end of the strap while the band stays attached.
What is the difference between this and the navy 935 keeper? Only the colour; both are sized for the 22 mm Forerunner 935 band.
