Overview

The Garmin Approach S3 watch band is a replacement strap made to fit the Garmin Approach S3 watch case and lugs. It refreshes the feel of the watch on your wrist and swaps over cleanly when your original band is worn, stretched, or stained from everyday use.

Both color options come as an adjustable band kit and include the pins plus a pin-removal tool, so you can do the changeout without hunting for specialty tools. For boaters who wear their watch on deck, it is a straightforward way to keep a secure, comfortable fit after exposure to salt air, sunscreen, and frequent rinsing.

Key features

• Made to fit the Garmin Approach S3 watch
• Adjustable band for dialing in wrist fit
• Includes pins and a pin-removal tool for the swap
• Color options available while keeping the same intended fit on the watch
• Simple at-home replacement when a band is worn or damaged

Variants

This band is offered in multiple configurations that share the same intended fit for the Approach S3.

The difference between variants is the color scheme. Pins and a pin-removal tool are included with each band kit.

• 010-11822-02: Gray/Black. A low-contrast look that stays understated on the wrist.
• 010-11822-01: White/Red. A higher-contrast option that is easy to spot at a glance.

Compatibility and fit

This band is intended for the Garmin Approach S3. If you have a different Garmin watch model, the pin spacing and attachment points may not match, even if the band looks similar.

Installation and setup

Swap the band on a clean, well-lit surface so the pins are easy to handle. Use the included pin-removal tool to release the existing pins, seat the new band in the lugs, and make sure the pins click fully into place on both sides before wearing the watch.

After installation, give the band a gentle tug at each lug and adjust the strap to confirm it holds securely without binding.

Use on board and care

If the band is exposed to spray or salt residue, rinse with fresh water and let it dry before stowing gear in a locker. A quick rinse after a day on deck helps keep the strap comfortable and reduces buildup around the pin areas.

This band is a good match for anyone who wears their Approach S3 regularly, including on the water, and wants a clean, secure strap without changing how the watch sits on the wrist.
