RuenTech6-Pack Band Keeper Compatible with Suunto 9&9 baro/7/D5/Core/Traverse/Ambit 3 2 1/Spartan Sport Wrist HR Fastener Ring Silicone Band Holder Clips Security Loop

When the original band loop broke a stretchy hair tie was pressed into service. It was not an ideal solution. I was unsure that a replacement band would be comfortable I didn't want to replace the entire band. While searching for bands I ran across this pack of loops. I only needed 1 but this was cheaper than a whole band just to get a hopefully fitting loop.Product has been in use for awhile and it works as well as the original. And I'll have spares for the future or my friends.

The most common part to fail on a Garmin watch is not the band, but the sleeve that holds the strap from flopping around. The first band fastener lasted 8 months. Purchased a new Garmin band and it only came with one fastener band. The new fastener lasted only 5 months. Do yourself a favor and by a pack of 10 from RuenTech. They seems to be better than the original and you have enough to last for years or share with friends. This is a common problem and you would think Garmin would include several for the price of a new band. Highly recommend this seller/product.

I don't love these fasteners, I don't hate them. They were easy to install and provide a reasonable alternative to the factory garmin fastener. On my Garmin 225, they don't fit perfectly (slightly too small), but good enough I don't want to spend the money on a full band replacement.

Perfect fit, great locking nub to hold strap in place! Totally worth the buy.

I've been wearing Suunto watches and monitors for a lot of years. One of my few complaints has been that when the keeper(s) on the wrist band give out, I needed to replace the entire wrist band. These eliminated that problem and are far less costly. They easily expand to slide over the buckle and so far work fine.

The first point of failure with watch bands is the loop that secures the band end. In the past I have bought a who new band since I was unaware of this product. These band loops work perfectly and have saved me from wasting money on new bands. Great company, great price, great find!

While not a direct replacement for my Garmin Forerunner 225. It will definitely work. Much cheaper than buying a factory band.

I should have looked more closely at the photos. This is not a fastener ring for a Garmin Forerunner 225. It's just a generic ring with the dimple in the wrong place and wrong shape. It's also somewhat too small for the band, which is probably the only reason it stays in place. But it's more like using a rubber band than something that actually fits into the holes in the band as it should. I'd return it but at $8 it's not worth the trouble.
