Overview

The Garmin 010-11251-07 is an expander watch strap for the Forerunner 610 that extends the fit so the watch can be worn over jackets and other layers.

On a boat, that usually means you can keep the watch where you can see it while you are in foul weather gear, a spray top, or heavier cold-weather clothing. The strap is black and installs using the included pins and strap removal tool.

Key features

• Made for Garmin Forerunner 610.
• Expander length lets the watch sit outside thicker sleeves, so the display stays visible on deck.
• Black strap that keeps the look consistent with most Forerunner 610 setups.
• Includes a strap removal tool and installation pins for a straightforward swap.
• Useful when layering up for early-morning runs, offshore watches, or cold-weather dock work.

What's included

• Expander watch strap (black)
• Strap removal tool
• Installation pins

Installation and setup

Remove the existing strap from the watch using the removal tool, then install the expander strap with the provided pins. After fitting, confirm the pins are fully seated and the strap is secure before wearing it over clothing.

Once installed, test the fit over your typical outer layer and make sure the strap tension keeps the watch stable without binding when you bend your wrist.

Compatibility and fit

This strap is intended specifically for the Garmin Forerunner 610. If your watch is a different model or uses a different strap attachment, the fit and pin spacing may not match.

It is a good match for boaters and outdoor users who regularly wear layered clothing and want their watch worn outside the sleeve for quick, readable checks.

Care and maintenance

After salt spray or sweat, rinse the strap with fresh water and let it dry before stowing gear. Check the pins occasionally for tight seating, especially if the watch is worn over bulky sleeves that can tug on the strap during line handling or winch work.
