Replacing the Buckle on a QuickFit 20 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® 20 band.
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 20 band
- Replacement buckle
- Pin removal tool or a precision flathead screwdriver
