Best Quickfit Watch Straps for the Garmin Fenix 7 & Garmin Epix Gen 2 – Same staps as Fenix 6

[Update] Please be warned, I originally recommended several Etsy straps, but it seems these won’t be compatible. The pins on the Epix are not removable so you have to use something with the Quickfit clip. You will be pleased to know that the latest Garmin Fenix 7 and Epix Gen 2 use the same watch…
