AXYON® Garmin Marine Silicone Band | QuickFit 22mm & 26mm Alloy Buckle
AXYON® Garmin Marine Silicone Band — QuickFit 22mm & 26mm
A perforated silicone band with a real alloy buckle. Built for the days you would rather not trust a magnet — open water, a boat deck, anything where the watch coming off your wrist is not a small problem.
Why this one
- Alloy buckle, not plastic. A metal pin buckle that locks mechanically and stays locked. It is the closure you want when the watch is over water.
- Perforated through the strap. Water runs out instead of sitting between the band and your skin, and air gets in on a hot day.
- Two-tone through the holes. The contrast layer shows through the perforations, so the band has depth rather than reading as a flat slab of rubber.
- Both QuickFit widths. 22mm for the fēnix 7 and 8 47mm; 26mm for the fēnix 7X, 6X, 8 51mm, tactix and Enduro. Pick your size at the top of this page.
- Soft silicone. Wipes clean, shrugs off sweat and salt water, and does not hold odour the way woven bands do.
- 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. This band is made in 22mm and 26mm — there is no 20mm version here.
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.
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.

Every AXYON Garmin band uses the same QuickFit mount, so they swap over in seconds and the watch changes with the day. Pick the closure that suits the occasion — a magnet when you want speed, a buckle when you want a mechanical lock.
- Magnetic Elastic Nylon — stretches on. 22mm and 26mm.
- Magnetic Silicone — fastest on and off, for training.
- Marine Silicone — this one. Alloy buckle, for water.
- Milanese Steel Loop — woven steel, for the office.

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
Rinse with fresh water after saltwater and dry it, paying attention to the buckle — salt is what dulls alloy hardware over time. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners. Silicone wipes clean with a damp cloth.
Questions we get asked
22mm or 26mm — which do I need?
Check the two lists above. As a rule of thumb, the standard-size fēnix takes 22mm and the X models — 7X, 6X, 5X, and the fēnix 8 51mm — take 26mm, along with tactix and Enduro.
Why a buckle when your other bands use magnets?
Because they do different jobs. A magnet is faster and more comfortable for everyday wear and training. A buckle is a mechanical lock, and that is what you want on a boat, in the surf, or anywhere losing the watch means losing the watch.
Can I swim and dive in it?
The band handles salt water and the perforations let it drain rather than trapping water against your skin. Rinse it with fresh water afterwards. Your watch’s own water rating is unchanged by the strap you put on it.
Will the perforations catch on things?
The holes run through the strap rather than sitting proud of it, so there is nothing standing out to snag.
Do I need a tool to fit it?
No. QuickFit is tool-free — the lever on the connector does everything.
Which colourway?
Ash Black is the quietest — grey through the holes on black. Black & Grey is the same idea with more contrast. Black & Orange is the one that looks like dive kit.
