Can anyone help😊

[Buddy34]

I have the Garmin forerunner 35. The small piece of rubber , which is called the band keeper on mine has broken.

Does anyone know where I can buy 1 as when looking online I either have to buy 10 on Amazon at price of £35 or there are others but not for my specific watch.

Hi Buddy. I have a Forerunner 35 too. Same thing happened to me last year. I bought 3 replacement straps through Amazon. They are of very good quality and the have 2 of band keepers on each strap. I'll look up the link for you now.

Thank you👍

This must be really frustrating Buddy. I think I’d be tempted to use a small piece of elastic or a rubber band instead - not as nice looking but definitely cheaper!

The second link is just for the Band Keepers. Just over £2. The straps will outlive your watch if you go that way and they are not too expensive. Plus if you fancy you can change the colour of your strap every now and then.

Thanks for your help 😊👍

I have 9 spares as I bought a pack of 10 for my garmin vivoactive 3. Your wedlock to one if it fits your watch.

You're very kind . I've got what I need now from damienair 🙂👍

Elastic band twisted twice sorted me out - £0.00😀

[Decker]

I used an elastic for awhile and finally broke down and bought some replacement bands like these ones from Amazon: these ones are $10CAD

Ok, mines a 245 so not sure it’s the same size strap, not long after I bought it I took it to a jewellers and had them replace the strap with a leather one. The standard one was chaffing my wrist. Don’t know if that’s an option you can take. Cost £10 fitted and is lasting well.

[Chicky33 Graduate10]

Mine broke at least twice. I used a band from my kids . The things they used to make bracelets from. Worked a treat.

[linda9389 Graduate10]

I bought from eBay for my 235

[Lifebeginsat Graduate10]

Hi Buddy same thing here. I ended up with a pack of 10 replacements which are perfect. I clearly don’t need 10. So if you give me your address I’ll post a couple to you,

[Sybilw Graduate10]

I have grandchildren and when that happened to my watch I just used one of their silicone type hairbands. They come in tiny sizes and worked perfectly. Lots of colours too.

[Poly-Princess Graduate10]

I only discovered this yesterday but, at least for my model, Garmin will replace broken bands free of charge. Just need to put in your serial number and address.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Poly-Princess]

I seen this but only if you live in the US 👍

[hamit Graduate10]

Hi , oh someone has already suggested a elastic band wound round the strap. You need a small one, worked for me

[Groam]

I use an elastic hair band.....sometimes I use one to match the colour of my kit!!!!! SAD.......🙄😁🏃‍♀️

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Groam]

No, not sad at all 🤣👍
