The 22mm Quick Release collection covers replacement bands for both Garmin and Samsung Galaxy Watch models that share the same 22mm quick-release attachment, including the Garmin Vivoactive 4, Venu, Venu 2, Forerunner 745, Forerunner 255, Forerunner 235, Instinct 2, plus much of Garmin's outdoor and adventure range such as the Tactix, Quatix, MARQ, Enduro, Epix, Approach and Descent series, and Samsung Galaxy Watch models including the Galaxy Watch, Watch3 through Watch8 and Galaxy Watch Ultra. Every band in this collection uses a standard 22mm quick-release pin, so swapping bands takes seconds with no tools required. Available in silicone, leather, stainless steel and Milanese loop styles, including premium options like Italian calf leather, there is a band here for the gym, the office and everything in between. Australian customers get fast AusPost shipping, a 12-month local warranty and a satisfaction guarantee on every order.
Why Choose 22mm Quick Release Bands?
22mm is one of the most widely used band widths across both the Garmin and Samsung Galaxy Watch ranges, particularly on larger and outdoor-focused models. Rather than searching separately for your specific watch brand, this collection groups everything that shares the same width and attachment type in one place.
Every band here uses a quick-release pin mechanism. A small lever on the underside of the band releases it from the watch case, allowing it to slide out and a new band to click straight in, with no spring bar tool required. This makes it easy to switch between a silicone band for the gym, a leather band for the office, or a stainless steel option for something dressier, without any hassle.
Because 22mm spans such a wide range of watch models across both Garmin and Samsung, this is also one of the more flexible bands to buy, particularly useful if you ever upgrade or switch watches within the same size class.

Available Strap Styles
Silicone Bands
Soft, flexible and water resistant, silicone is the most popular choice for everyday and active wear. It suits workouts, sleep tracking and general daily use, dries quickly after sweat or moisture exposure, and is available in a wide range of colourways.
Leather Bands
Genuine leather bands give any compatible Garmin or Samsung watch a classic, timeless look suited to office wear and formal occasions. This collection includes premium options such as Italian calf leather with a 3-pin clasp, alongside standard leather styles. Leather feels premium against the skin and develops character over time, though it is best kept away from sweat and water exposure.
Stainless Steel and Milanese Loop Bands
Classic stainless steel bracelets and Milanese loop bands give any compatible watch a more polished, premium appearance. The Milanese loop's magnetic clasp allows stepless size adjustment for a precise fit, while the Classic stainless steel option offers a traditional link bracelet look, both well suited to office environments and formal occasions.
Sport Loop Bands
A breathable, lightweight woven loop band that pulls through itself rather than using a traditional buckle, offering a comfortable, adjustable fit for active and everyday wear.
Choosing the Right 22mm Quick Release Band
- For daily fitness and workouts: Silicone or a Sport Loop band is the clear recommendation. Both resist sweat and moisture, dry quickly, and hold securely during exercise.
- For sleep tracking: Silicone's soft, flexible construction makes it the most comfortable option for overnight wear, relevant for both Garmin and Samsung devices used for sleep monitoring.
- For hiking and outdoor adventure: Silicone remains the most practical option for Garmin's larger outdoor and adventure watches like the Tactix, Quatix and Enduro, given its durability against UV, dirt and moisture.
- For the office or smarter occasions: Leather, stainless steel or the Milanese loop dresses up any compatible watch considerably compared to a standard silicone sport band.
- For sensitive skin: The Milanese loop's open mesh weave allows more airflow than solid silicone, which can help reduce irritation during extended wear.
- For colour and style variety: Silicone bands are available in multiple colourways, making it easy to build a small rotation and match the band to your outfit or activity.
Who Buys 22mm Quick Release Bands?
Garmin Venu and Vivoactive 4 owners make up a significant share of demand for this collection, given how widely 22mm is used across those lifestyle-focused Garmin lines.
Samsung Galaxy Watch owners across multiple generations, particularly the larger 46mm and 45mm case models, also shop this collection regularly, since Samsung uses 22mm as a standard width on its bigger watch faces.
Garmin outdoor and adventure watch owners, including Tactix, Quatix, Enduro and Approach golfers, often look for durable replacement bands suited to their watch's heavy-duty use case.
Anyone switching between styles for different occasions, such as silicone for the gym and leather, stainless steel or Milanese for the office, finds value in building a small rotation of 22mm quick-release bands rather than relying on a single original strap.
How to Care for Your 22mm Quick Release Band
- Silicone and Sport Loop bands: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before reattaching. Avoid frequent use of alcohol-based cleaners, which can degrade the material over time.
- Leather bands: Keep away from water and sweat wherever possible. Wipe with a dry cloth after any moisture contact, and condition occasionally with a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness. Avoid wearing leather bands during exercise.
- Stainless steel and Milanese loop bands: Wipe with a soft damp cloth regularly. For more thorough cleaning, a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water helps clean between the mesh weave. Dry thoroughly to prevent water marks.
General tip: If you wear your watch daily, rotating between two bands gives each one time to fully dry, which extends the life of both. See the full watch band cleaning and maintenance guide for more detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a 22mm quick-release band fit both Garmin and Samsung watches?
Yes, provided your specific watch uses a 22mm quick-release attachment. Both Garmin and Samsung use this same standard width and mechanism across several of their models, so the same band can fit watches from either brand as long as the width matches. Always confirm your exact model against the compatibility guides before ordering.
How do I know if my watch takes a 22mm quick-release band?
Check your watch manufacturer's product specifications for the listed band or lug width, measure your current band at the point it meets the case, or check the underside of your existing strap. The Garmin Band Compatibility Guide and Samsung Band Compatibility Guide both list the band width for each model.
What is a quick-release band?
A quick-release band uses a small lever on the underside of the strap, near the spring bar, that lets you remove and attach the band without any tools. Press the lever, slide the old band out, then slide the new band in until it clicks securely into place.
Can I use a 20mm band on a watch that needs 22mm?
No. The band width must match the lug width on your watch case exactly. A 20mm band will not securely fit a 22mm lug, and a 22mm band will not fit a 20mm lug. Using the wrong width affects both the appearance and the secure fit of the band.
Is a quick-release band the same as Garmin's QuickFit system?
They are similar in function but not identical. Garmin's QuickFit system is a proprietary slide-and-lock mechanism used on select models like the Fenix and many Forerunner watches, while a standard quick-release band uses a spring-bar pin with a lever, found across a broader range of watches including many Garmin models and Samsung Galaxy Watches. The two systems are not interchangeable, so check which one your specific watch uses.
Are 22mm quick-release bands water resistant?
Silicone and Sport Loop bands in this collection are water resistant and suitable for everyday splash exposure, sweat during exercise and general daily wear. Leather, stainless steel and Milanese loop bands are not recommended for swimming or extended water exposure. Your watch's own water resistance rating is separate from the band and should be confirmed with the manufacturer directly.
