Not sure which Forerunner you own, or what band width it takes? The Garmin Band Compatibility Guide covers sizing and compatibility across the full Garmin range. Band width varies significantly across the Forerunner line, and some models, like the 570, come in two case sizes with different band widths, so it's worth confirming your exact model and size before ordering. Each model's own collection also confirms the exact bands available for it.
Which Band Should You Choose?
- Training and race day: a sweat and water resistant silicone band handles repeated wear and washing without breaking down.
- Everyday wear off the run: a leather, Milanese Loop or stainless steel band can dress a Forerunner up beyond its sporty stock strap.
- Getting the size right: confirm your exact Forerunner model, and case size where relevant, before ordering. Each model's own collection lists the confirmed fit.
Caring for Your Forerunner Band
- Silicone: wash with mild soap and water, rinse after sweaty runs, and air dry fully before refitting. Avoid harsh alcohol-based cleaners.
- Leather: keep dry, wipe promptly after any moisture contact, and condition occasionally.
- Stainless steel and Milanese Loop: a soft damp cloth keeps the finish sharp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are bands interchangeable across the Forerunner range?
Not necessarily. Band width varies significantly across Forerunner generations, and even within a single model like the 570, which comes in two case sizes with different band widths. Shop from the collection dedicated to your exact model and size, or check the Garmin Band Compatibility Guide before ordering.
Do Forerunner 235 bands also fit the 230, 220 and 630?
Yes. These older Forerunner models share the same band connector and are grouped in the one collection.
How do I change the band on my Garmin Forerunner?
Most Forerunner models use a standard quick-release pin, and some newer models use Garmin's QuickFit system. The band-changing guide covers the steps for each type.
Which band is best for running?
Silicone is the practical choice for training and race day, sweat and water resistant and easy to rinse clean after a run.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes. Orders ship via Australia Post to every state and territory, with free shipping on orders over $30 and same-day dispatch for weekday orders placed before 1pm.
