AXYON® Garmin Leather & Silicone Band | QuickFit 22mm Hybrid Strap
AXYON® Garmin Leather & Silicone Band — QuickFit 22mm
Leather on the outside, silicone against your skin. You get the look of a leather strap without the part that ruins leather straps — because the leather never touches your wrist.
Why this one
- Leather outer, silicone inner. The face that people see is leather. The face that meets sweat is silicone, so the band wipes clean instead of stiffening, darkening and cracking the way a full leather strap does after one Australian summer.
- It turns a sports watch into a watch. A fēnix on rubber reads as gym kit. The same watch on a leather strap reads as something you chose. Nothing else in the box does that.
- Pin buckle with a keeper. A mechanical closure, sized in fixed steps, exactly as a leather strap should be. No magnets on this one.
- Three colourways. Black for the dark or DLC watch, Dark Brown for warmth, Midnight Blue for the one that is neither.
- QuickFit 22 mount. Slides in, clicks, done. No spring bar tool, no scratched lugs, no pins to lose on the bench.
- Held and dispatched in Sydney by Connextronix Pty Ltd, with your full rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

What it does not fit
QuickFit comes in three widths and they are not interchangeable. This band is 22mm only.
QuickFit 20 watches need a 20mm band: fēnix 8 43mm, fēnix 7S, 7S Pro, 7S Solar, 7S Sapphire Solar, fēnix 6S, 6S Pro, fēnix 5S, 5S Plus, Instinct 2S.
QuickFit 26 watches need a 26mm band: fēnix 8 51mm, fēnix 7X, 7X Pro, fēnix 6X, 6X Pro, 6X Sapphire, fēnix 5X, 5X Plus, fēnix 3, Instinct 2X, tactix 7, tactix Delta, Enduro, Enduro 2, quatix 3, Descent Mk1, Descent Mk2, D2 Bravo. Our Magnetic Elastic Nylon Band and Marine Silicone Band are both made in 26mm.
Some Garmins do not use QuickFit at all. The Venu, Vivoactive, Lily and Vivomove ranges, and the Forerunner 55, 165, 245, 255, 265, 570 and 970, use ordinary spring-bar straps. If your strap comes off with a small lever on a thin metal bar rather than a wide latching plate, you need a spring-bar band, not this one.

Fitting it
- Turn the watch over and release the existing QuickFit strap using the small lever on the underside of the connector.
- Slide the new band’s connector into the lug until it clicks.
- Repeat on the other side, then tug gently on both halves to check they are seated.
- Fasten the buckle and tuck the tail through the keeper.
Looking after it
Wipe the silicone inner face with a damp cloth whenever it needs it. Keep the leather outer dry — wipe rather than rinse, and let it dry away from direct heat if it does get wet. Leather and chlorine do not get along, so this is not the band for the pool. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.
Questions we get asked
Can I wear it for a workout?
The silicone inner face handles sweat far better than a plain leather strap, so a gym session or a run will not wreck it. For swimming, open water, or anything where the band stays wet, use a silicone band instead — that is what the Marine and Magnetic Silicone bands are for.
How do I know if my watch is QuickFit 22?
Look at the back of the strap where it meets the watch. QuickFit has a wide flat plate with a small lever. If yours is a thin metal bar with a tiny sliding tab, that is a spring bar and this band will not fit. The lists above cover the common models.
Why is the inside silicone and not leather?
Because the inside is the half that fails. Sweat is what makes a leather strap stiffen, darken and smell. Putting silicone against the skin means the leather you can see stays looking the way it did when it arrived.
Do I need a tool to fit it?
No. QuickFit is tool-free — the lever on the connector does everything.
Which colourway?
Black is the safe one and disappears against a dark watch. Dark Brown is the warmest and reads most like a traditional watch strap. Midnight Blue is the quiet alternative to black — it looks black indoors and blue in daylight.
