Replacing the Buckle on a QuickFit 22 or 26 Watch Band
Garmin recommends that you take your watch to a jeweler if your buckle hardware needs to be replaced. The buckle of a compatible watch can be replaced with another buckle from a QuickFit 22 or 26 band, depending on your watch band size.
Since we offer so many color combinations, we may not offer a replacement band that offers the same color hardware as your original. Replacing the buckle should only be needed if you have purchased a new QuickFit band, and would like to use the same color of hardware that your old band had.
To replace your watch band buckle, you will need the following:
- A clean workspace
- QuickFit 22 or 26 band
- Replacement buckle
- Pair of Torx T6 screwdrivers
