Overview

The Garmin 010-11251-86 is a black and gray silicone replacement band kit for Garmin Forerunner 230, 235, and 630 watches.

The strap length is 110 to 195 mm, and the band mounts using the screw-pin style used on these cases, so it stays put during active wear. On board, it’s a practical spare when your watch sees sun, sweat, and spray, since the silicone band can be rinsed with fresh water after a salty day.

Key features

• Fits Garmin Forerunner 230, Forerunner 235, and Forerunner 630.
• Black and gray silicone band for a two-tone look.
• Screw-pin band attachment for the compatible Forerunner case style.
• Fits wrists in the 110 to 195 mm range.
• Silicone wipes clean and rinses off easily after saltwater, sunscreen, or lotions.

What’s included

• Black and gray silicone replacement watch band
• Band pins
• Pin removal tools

Installation and setup

Swap the band on a clear bench or over a towel so small parts do not roll away. Remove the existing band hardware, seat the new band in the lugs, and start the pins carefully before tightening to avoid cross-threading. After installation, flex the band through its full range to confirm it moves freely at the case.

Compatibility and fit

This kit matches the band style used on the Forerunner 235 and also fits the Forerunner 230 and 630. It is not a universal Garmin strap, so confirm your watch model before ordering. If your watch uses wrist-based heart rate, wearing the band snug during activity helps readings, and loosening it afterward keeps long wear comfortable.

Use cases on board

This is a good match for boaters who already rely on a Forerunner 230, 235, or 630 for workouts, alarms, and timing on deck and want a replacement strap ready for travel or regatta weekends. The black and gray colorway also keeps a watch looking understated when it’s worn with foul-weather gear or gloves.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the strap with fresh water and dry it after exposure to saltwater, pool water, or heavy sweat. Keep harsh chemicals off the band, and avoid spraying insect repellents that contain DEET onto the strap to help prevent discoloration over time.
