sallykate Feb 2023 12:16pm, 8 Feb 2023 10,957 posts	0 sallykate Any thoughts about replacement straps? My Garmin 735XT is now six years old and could do with a new strap - was looking at this on Amazon: amazon.co.uk but there are a few options & would rather not get something which is rubbish.

Nelly Feb 2023 12:38pm, 8 Feb 2023 4,335 posts	0 Nelly sallykate I bought one of these amazon.co.uk for my 735XT in September last year and it has been absolutely fine.
Fitz Feb 2023 12:40pm, 8 Feb 2023 3,092 posts	0 Fitz I ordered a replacement for Mrs Fitz's FR25 from FitStraps UK. Quality is as good as the original, half the price of Garmin OEM and even came with the little tools to unscrew the strap from the bezel.
StuH Feb 2023 1:01pm, 8 Feb 2023 4,556 posts	0 StuH We ordered a TopPerfekt strap from Amazon for my wife's FR35 which seemed well reviewed. The supplied torx tool was completely the wrong size. Ended up returning it and getting one from Garmin at more than double the price.
Steve NordRunner Feb 2023 2:28pm, 8 Feb 2023 2,652 posts	0 Steve NordRunner A little tip for anyone who has lost the running power info from an HRM-Pro after a software update recently. Re-pairing doesnt fix it. Turn the watch off and on again. Sometimes the old knowledge-free suggestions work
larkim Feb 2023 2:42pm, 8 Feb 2023 20,162 posts	0 larkim Anyone know how to get activity profiles back on a Garmin 45s? Son updated his overnight a few weeks ago and it apparently removed his Bike activity type, and despite adding it back in on the Connect app it's not showing on his watch. (On and off again has already been tried!)
Badger Feb 2023 4:47pm, 8 Feb 2023 15,992 posts	0 Badger That's odd. This was apparently exactly what the last software release was meant to fix, but that came out half a year ago: forums.garmin.com Is he on 5.40?
larkim Feb 2023 6:36pm, 8 Feb 2023 20,163 posts	0 larkim Yes, 5.4.
