22mm Quick Release

The Silicone band is the everyday option, with a dressier Milanese Loop and Classic Stainless Steel band available for a more premium look. Everything ships fast from Australian stock with a 12-month local warranty and a satisfaction guarantee.
Which Bands Fit the Garmin Forerunner 255?
The Forerunner 255 takes standard 22mm quick-release bands, with the same fit shared across the Garmin Vivoactive 4 and Venu 3. Quick-release bands have a small spring-loaded pin lever on the underside, so they swap in seconds without tools. Note the smaller-cased Forerunner 255S uses a different band width; confirm your exact model before ordering. The full 22mm quick-release collection is compatible, and the Garmin Band Compatibility Guide covers sizing across the rest of the Garmin range.

Which Band Should You Choose?
- Running and everyday training: the Silicone band is the practical, everyday pick, comfortable and easy to rinse clean after a run.
- Office or dressier occasions: the Milanese Loop or Classic Stainless Steel lift the 255 well beyond its stock strap, with the Milanese adjusting steplessly for a precise fit.
Caring for Your Forerunner 255 Band
- Silicone: wash with mild soap and water, rinse after sweaty runs, and air dry fully before refitting. Avoid harsh alcohol-based cleaners.
- Milanese Loop and stainless steel: a soft damp cloth keeps the finish sharp, with a soft brush and soapy water for the mesh weave when needed.
