TRUMiRRBand Sets for Fossil Men's Gen 5 Carlyle/Garrett/Gen 6 44mm / Gen 5E 44mm Smart Watch, 22mm Solid Stainless Steel Metal + Mesh Loop Strap Watchband for Fossil Men's Gen 4 Explorist HR

I bought these to replace the broken silicone band on my Fossil Sport smartwatch and they are perfect. The fit and quality is excellent. I use the mesh band the most since it's light and I wear my Fossil Sport at all day and during my workouts. Replacing the old band was super easy and everything I needed for such operation was included in the kit.These bands look great and fit perfect. They are also adjustable for smaller and larger wrists and included additional links. Definitely a great bang for your buck.

Very happy it came quick.

Right off the start, the "woven stainless steel" band seemed wrong. The locking mechanism looked like it was reversed of what it should be (the feed was underneath if the locking aspect was to be on top and accessible). Adjusting the length was difficult because it doesn't just unlock and slide, you have to insert a tiny tool in order to change the length, which makes it impossible for me to wear anyway because it won't fit over my hand unless I can fully open it up. While messing with the locking mechanism, it fell apart, and I could not get it back together correctly.Terrible design; terrible construction; terrible product.

With a bit of modification with the help of a bird beak plier, it is an excellent value for its price. Only wear it a little, but it seems sturdy enough. I had to press the end of the clips where it connected to the watch directly to keep the pin inside and not let it fall out of the socket. See the pics. It looks good. I love it so far.

Both bands are quite comfortable on the wrist. One of them has a latch type that I'd never encountered before but there were directions so it took just a second to figure it out. They connected to my Fossil 5e smartwatch as easy as you would expect. I love how easy it is to change out bands these days.Not advertised is that it comes with the adjuster tool that jewelers have, so you don't have to fumble with a paperclip anymore. There are also extra pieces that come with it.
