Garmin Bounce 2 straps and accessories
For a smartwatch to deliver accurate readings around the clock, an optimal fit is essential. The sensors on the back of the Garmin Bounce 2 must maintain constant, light contact with the skin without being too tight. Whether you choose a soft sports strap or a flexible nylon strap, you’re guaranteed high breathability, which minimises the risk of moisture build-up and skin irritation during long days. Premium materials mean the strap can withstand daily wear and tear, whilst feeling as light as a feather on your wrist, no matter how intense the activity.
Activity and lifestyle
Different days call for different features from your smartwatch. We recommend choosing a strap based on your primary use:
- If the watch is frequently used in water or during muddy outdoor activities, then a waterproof and extremely durable silicone strap is the best choice. It dries instantly and is easy to rinse off.
- If the focus is on round-the-clock comfort and sleep tracking, then we recommend a woven nylon strap or an elasticated strap. These materials allow the skin to breathe freely during the night and feel soft and comfortable against the wrist, much like a T-shirt.
- If a quick transition from school to training is important, then a classic sports strap with a sturdy buckle is ideal. It keeps the watch securely in place no matter how you move.
Frequently asked questions and answers
What strap width is suitable for the Garmin Bounce 2?
The Garmin Bounce 2 uses standard attachments. Most straps designed for this model are 20 mm wide at the attachment point. All straps in this category are guaranteed to be compatible and designed to fit the watch case.
How do I change the strap on my Garmin Bounce 2?
It’s very easy to change. The straps use what are known as quick-release pins. Simply pull the small metal lever on the back of the strap to the side, and it will detach from the watch. You attach the new strap in the same straightforward way, without any tools.
What’s the best way to clean the strap after training and exercise?
Dirt, sweat and sun cream can break down the material over time. A silicone strap is quickest to clean under lukewarm tap water with a little mild soap after a workout. If you’re using a nylon strap, you can rinse it by hand and leave it to air-dry overnight – it’ll be fresh for the next morning.
Can I swim and go for a dip with my new watch strap?
Yes, but the choice of material is crucial. Silicone straps are completely unaffected by water and are the best option for swimming, swimming and water sports. Nylon straps are certainly water-resistant, but bear in mind that they absorb moisture and take a little longer to dry, which can make your wrist feel cold after a swim.
