FYISWHO 22mm Elastic Nylon Replacement Band for Ticwatch Pro 3 / Coros Pace & Apex watches
Product description
What it is and what it’s for
If you’re looking to refresh a smartwatch or sports watch strap without going down the “full replacement watch” route, this FYISWHO elastic nylon replacement band is designed for that exact job. It’s a 22mm sport strap with an elastic nylon build, aimed at everyday wear and training, where comfort and sweat-friendliness tend to matter.
On paper, it also positions itself as an alternative to silicone straps: the material is described as soft, flexible, lightweight and breathable, with the ability to let sweat escape and dry quickly. That makes it a strap you’d typically reach for when you want something that doesn’t feel plastic-y on the wrist and is easier to keep clean.
Key takeaways
The headline here is simplicity: it’s meant to be easy to swap, comfortable for active use, and practical if you change straps often. A lot of the appeal will come down to whether you’re happy with an elastic nylon style (rather than a rigid strap), and whether your watch model is truly within the stated compatibility list.
One small limitation to keep in mind is that the listing explicitly notes some models it is not for, including certain Apex variants. If you’re unsure about your exact model, it’s worth double-checking before ordering.
Where it shines in everyday use
For training days, the nylon construction is the main selling point: it’s described as breathable and quick-drying, which can help when your wrist gets sweaty during runs, gym sessions, or longer walks.
A practical example: imagine you’ve finished a tempo session, and your current strap feels damp. With a strap designed to “let sweat escape” and dry quickly, you’re more likely to be comfortable shortly after than you would be with a strap that stays wet longer. It’s also described as washable, so cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore.
Style-wise, FYISWHO includes multiple colour options and an adjustable stainless-steel buckle, so you can match it to what you’re wearing. It won’t replace the look of a leather strap for formal settings, but it fits that sporty, casual gap quite neatly.
Installation and adjustment: what to expect
The strap is described as easy to install and remove, with no extra tools needed and a quick swap time (about ten seconds). The adjustable nylon watch buckle is intended to help you set the length to your wrist.
That matters if you like having a spare strap ready for different days (e.g., one for training and one for lighter wear). Just be aware that “elastic” straps can feel a bit different from traditional fixed-length bands—if you prefer a more rigid feel, you may want to think twice.
Compatibility matters more than you’d think
Compatibility is the big decision point. This replacement band is stated as compatible with specific 22mm bands for:
- Ticwatch Pro 3 family (including Pro 3, Pro 3 GPS, Pro 3 Ultra GPS, Pro 3 LTE)
- Ticwatch GTX, Ticwatch E2, Ticwatch S2
- Coros watches including Pace 4, Pace 3, Pace Pro, Apex 2 Pro, Apex Pro, Apex 46mm, and Apex 4 42mm
But it is also clearly marked as not for certain Coros models: Not for Coros Apex 2, Not for Coros Apex 42mm, Not for Coros Apex 4 46mm.
It might seem obvious, but it’s worth slowing down here—choosing the wrong one is the most common way people end up disappointed with replacement bands.
Care & washing reality check
The strap is described as washable and designed to avoid skin irritation from rubbing like plastic. In practice, that means it should handle regular cleaning better than many “sweat catcher” straps.
Still, since the listing doesn’t specify washing instructions, you’ll want to follow general “strap-safe” care (gentle cleaning and allowing it to dry properly) rather than assuming it’s indestructible.
Pros
- Soft, flexible, lightweight and breathable nylon build (as described)
- Quick-drying and washable, which suits sweaty training
- Easy swap design with no tools mentioned
- Adjustable stainless-steel buckle for wrist length
- Multiple colour options for everyday matching
Cons
- It’s not for every Coros Apex model, some variants are explicitly excluded
- Elastic nylon can be a “love it or live with it” feel depending on your preference
- The listing doesn’t mention any specific hardware details beyond the buckle, so don’t assume it includes features beyond the strap itself
Buying verdict
It makes sense to buy this FYISWHO elastic nylon replacement band if you want a breathable, quick-drying sport strap that’s designed to be easy to fit and remove—particularly if your current silicone-style band feels uncomfortable or you simply want a change for training.
You may want to skip it if your exact watch model is one of the explicitly excluded Coros Apex variants, or if you strongly prefer a non-elastic, more structured strap feel.
Worth considering if you’re the kind of person who rotates straps by activity and wants something practical for day-to-day wear, not just a one-off replacement.
