The Ranger nylon webbing band for Garmin QuickFit 20, 22 and 26 watches

What the Ranger is

The Ranger is made from dense woven nylon webbing, much like the material of a good backpack strap. It closes with hook-and-loop: pass the end through the buckle, pull it to the fit you want and press it flat. That makes it easy to wear snug for a run and let out over a jacket cuff when the weather turns.

Each band carries two sewn-on fabric patches with bold outdoor lettering, and the QuickFit connectors are black, for a rugged look that suits an outdoor watch. Webbing is a good match for long hikes, travel and cold days, when you want a band that sits flat under a sleeve and adjusts in seconds. If you prefer a plain band, browse our other Garmin watch bands.

It comes in eight colors: Black, Army Green, Khaki, Brown, Gray, Blue, Orange and Red. Most colors are made in all three QuickFit sizes; Orange comes in QuickFit 20 and 22, and Blue in QuickFit 20 and 26.

Which Garmin watches it fits

The Ranger comes in every QuickFit size, so it covers small, standard and large Garmin cases:

• QuickFit 20 fits the Fenix 9 43 mm, Fenix 8 43 mm, Fenix 7S and 7S Pro, Fenix 6S and 6S Pro, Fenix 5S and 5S Plus, and the Epix Pro 42 mm.
• QuickFit 22 fits the Fenix 9 47 mm, Fenix 8 47 mm, Fenix E, Fenix 7 and 7 Pro, Fenix 6 and 6 Pro, Fenix 5 and 5 Plus, Epix (Gen 2), Epix Pro 47 mm, and the Forerunner 935, 945, 955, 965 and 970.
• QuickFit 26 fits the Fenix 9 51 mm, Fenix 8 51 mm, Fenix 7X and 7X Pro, Fenix 6X and 6X Pro, Fenix 5X and 5X Plus, Enduro 2 and Enduro 3, Tactix 7 and Tactix Delta, and the Epix Pro 51 mm.

Go by the case size of your watch, not only the model name: the Fenix 8, for example, comes in 43, 47 and 51 mm cases, and each one takes a different QuickFit size. Garmin advises against third-party bands on the Fenix 8 Pro, Fenix 9 Pro, Quatix 8 Pro and D2 Mach 2 Pro, because metal parts near the case can disturb their satellite and LTE signals, so we do not list the Ranger for those four watches.

How to size and fit it

Hook-and-loop closes at any point along the strap, so you fine-tune the fit every time you put the band on. The size you do need to get right is the QuickFit size for your watch. If you are not sure which that is, take your current band off: Garmin prints the size on the back. Our fit guide explains how to measure your wrist.

To fit it, slide the latch on your old band's QuickFit connector and lift the band off the watch. Line up each Ranger connector with the lugs and press it into place until the latch closes over the pin on the watch, then give the band a firm tug to check it is secure. To take it off again, slide the latch and lift. New connectors can feel stiff for the first few swaps. Press each one straight down into the lugs rather than at an angle, and it seats more easily.

Care

Hand wash the band in warm water with a little mild soap. Close the hook-and-loop on itself first so it does not collect lint, then press out the water with a towel and let it air dry. Skip the washing machine and the dryer, which are hard on the patches and the hook-and-loop. Nylon handles rain, sweat and river crossings, but it stays damp for a while, so rinse it in fresh water after salt water or a pool.
