Wrist and Bicep Bands Review
Sharing my band options in case it helps anyone.
I will be going from left to right.
Official L/XL Wrist band in Captains Blue - In general this is quite good, feels decent and the clips are positioned out of the way and quite easy to detach.
Random silicon wrist band found on Amazon (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0HDV1TKS1?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title&th=1).
It is a silcone band and does it job well, quite comfortable and does not move.
However, there is only one size option available and I have to use the last hole so no buy with caution if you have large wrists.
Simple Things Elastic Bicep Band -
This is now my default band and I am wearing it on my bicep for about 4 days now.
The strap is a lot thinner than all the other ones, I can have it on my arm under my sleeve and the band does not show like with the the other two to the right.
Unlike other bands the Cirqa goes in between the two ends, rather than under the material.
This makes it less bulky overall and as it is using a more standard strap like on a backpack you can make really dialed in adjustments to the strap instead of the other going up the velcro step ladder.

The last two on the right are different Bicep bands from AliExpress.
The material is slightly different and one has more velcro steps than the other but overall they are both pretty similar.
The issue with both of these is the connection to the Cirqa, the lugs don't swivel to sit flush like on the official bands so they are pointed into your arm, they are small but still I don't want little digs into my arm all the time.
The lugs are also quite tricky to connect and handle so I probably won't use these ongoing.
Still waiting for the official Garmin Bicep band to come in stock but for now I am happy with the Simple Things one.
