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 ยฃ35 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.

This must be really frustrating Buddy. I think Iโ€™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 ยฃ2. 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.

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 itโ€™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. Donโ€™t know if thatโ€™s an option you can take. Cost ยฃ10 fitted and is lasting well.

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

Hi Buddy same thing here. I ended up with a pack of 10 replacements which are perfect. I clearly donโ€™t need 10. So if you give me your address Iโ€™ll post a couple to you,

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.

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.
