Overview

The Garmin 010-12561-02 is a 20 mm quick-release watch band in black silicone with stainless steel hardware for compatible Garmin watches that use 20 mm quick-release lugs.

The quick-release spring bars let you remove the band by hand and snap the new one in place without tools, which is handy when you are swapping between daily wear and time on the water. The pack includes two different adjustment strap lengths, and typical fit covers about 127-215 mm wrist circumference depending on the strap length used and the watch model.

Key features

• 20 mm quick-release spring bars for fast band changes without tools.
• Black silicone band with stainless steel buckle hardware that cleans up easily after sweat, spray, and sunscreen.
• Includes two different adjustment strap lengths (buckle side plus two strap pieces) to fine-tune fit.
• Typical wrist fit range is about 127-215 mm, with slight variation depending on the watch model.
• Fits Garmin models that take 20 mm quick-release bands, including Approach S40, D2 Air, Forerunner 245/245 Music, Forerunner 645/645 Music, Venu, Venu Sq/Venu Sq Music, vivoactive 3/3 Music, and vivomove models.

Compatibility and fit

This is a quick-release style band, not a QuickFit band. Confirm your watch uses 20 mm quick-release spring bars at the lugs before ordering. If you are replacing a factory band, measure the lug width or match it to your existing band width to avoid a loose fit or pinched spring bars.

Installation and setup

To swap bands, flip the watch over, slide the quick-release tab to retract the spring bar, and lift the band out. Set the new band between the lugs, place one end of the bar into the lug hole, retract the other end with the tab, and release it until it clicks into place. Give each side a gentle tug to confirm it is seated.

Use cases on board

This band makes sense for boaters who wear their Garmin watch in the cockpit, on deck, or while fishing and want a strap that rinses clean after salt spray. It is also a good match for anyone who regularly moves between dock work and workouts and wants quick, tool-free swaps.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the band with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, sweat, or washdowns, then let it dry before putting it back on. Clean off residue from sunscreen and insect repellent, and avoid prolonged contact with lotions, perfumes, and similar chemicals to help prevent surface changes and skin irritation.
