Lost the keeper on your Garmin Vivofit 3? This black silicone strap loop is made for its 16 mm strap and stops the…
passant-GarVi-03-3Designed for the Garmin Forerunner 220, this navy blue 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.
Runners rarely think about the keeper until it fails mid-session and the band tail starts flapping with every stride. On the Garmin Forerunner 220, that small ring is what holds the 22 mm strap flat against the wrist during intervals and long runs. This navy blue silicone loop replaces a lost or cracked one.
Navy is a nice compromise between visibility and discretion. It picks up blue running tops and shoes, gives a black band a hint of colour without shouting, and looks completely natural on a blue Forerunner 220 strap. Away from the track it passes for an ordinary sports watch detail.
The Forerunner 220 band is thicker and more rounded than a classic watch strap. A generic 22 mm keeper can be too tight to pass over both layers or loose enough to slide off. This loop follows the shape of the 220 strap and grips it securely. Silicone handles rain, sweat and repeated washing without complaint; rinse it after a hot run and dry it with a cloth.
Can I fit the navy loop myself? Yes, by hand: thread the strap end, stretch the silicone and position it near the buckle.
Does the colour matter for fit? No, the navy and black versions for the Forerunner 220 share the same 22 mm sizing; only the shade differs.
