Has anyone used any of the following watch straps?
  • Hybrid Titanium/Silicone Bracelet Carbon Gray DLC
  • Vented Titanium Bracelet with Carbon Gray DLC Coating
  • Gray Vented Titanium
If so what are your opinions? For running, everyday and diving?
 
I played with the titanium, it was ok? Not something I would spend money on. Certainly wouldn't wear it diving or running.
 
The hybrid titanium/silicone strap is also a 22mm strap, which would be loose on the 26mm Garmin Descent Mk1 (which I believe is your Garmin watch). The 22mm straps are for the smaller fēnix/quatix/MARQ models from what I can tell.

The other 2 are 26mm and nice looking, but a bit heavy for my tastes, especially for any kind of activity. I tried them on at MEC but decided against them in favour of the 26mm shockingly yellow silicone for diving and more acceptable blue for swimming.

Actually looking at it as a dressy compliment to a Fenix6 or MARQ American Magic, still waiting on the Descent2 but thinking of plan B, I am thinking the hybrid would enable the HRM to work better as it's snug when running but from an everyday perspective the vented titanium looks like a winner, of course this is all speculation as I am waiting on the Descent2 (giving Garmin until Sep, then buying a travel watch)
