Good buy but with some small tradeoffs
As some suggest, this seems a bit less sturdy than the Garmin version. Not necessarily an issue, though it could be. The strap that this one comes with attaches to each side of the device, so to remove it, you need to unsnap at least one side. At least initially, that required some meaningful pressure (which assures it doesn't come unsnapped during use), but I wonder if that constant snapping the device in and out will have an effect on its longevity.
For now I'm using the Garmin strap, which closes with a hook into a loop on the strap, so allows the device to be left attached fully to the strap. Seems safer, but I don't know if it will affect battery life. I think probably not.
