Quick answer: Choose a standard Quick Release band only when your watch uses a standard spring-bar quick-release system; measure the inside width between the watch lugs and select 18mm, 20mm or 22mm. Choose Garmin QuickFit only when your Garmin model specifically uses QuickFit; select 22mm or 26mm. A 22mm standard Quick Release connector and a 22mm Garmin QuickFit connector are different systems and are not interchangeable.

Quick Release vs Garmin QuickFit: key facts
| Connector system | How to confirm it | Current SYNCRBAND sizes | Matching product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Quick Release | Your watch uses a compatible standard spring-bar quick-release band | 18mm, 20mm or 22mm | Quick Release + WHOOP 5.0/MG Hybrid Band |
| Garmin QuickFit | Your Garmin model specifically lists a QuickFit size | 22mm or 26mm | Garmin QuickFit + WHOOP 5.0/MG Hybrid Band |
Why the connector system matters more than the width
The width number tells you the size of the connection, but it does not tell you the connection type. That is why two bands labeled 22mm can still use different hardware. Standard Quick Release and Garmin QuickFit should be treated as separate systems when you order.
If your watch specifications say standard Quick Release, use the Quick Release product and choose the matching lug width. If your Garmin specifications say QuickFit, use the Garmin product and choose the listed QuickFit size.
How to choose the correct SYNCRBAND hybrid band
1. Confirm your watch connector system
Check the product specifications for your exact watch model or inspect the original band information. Do not choose by brand name or by width alone. Some watches use standard Quick Release, while compatible Garmin models may use Garmin QuickFit.
2. Confirm the size
- Standard Quick Release: Measure the inside width between the watch lugs and choose 18mm, 20mm or 22mm.
- Garmin QuickFit: Check the QuickFit size specified for your exact Garmin model and choose 22mm or 26mm.

3. Confirm the WHOOP generation
Current SYNCRBAND hybrid bands are designed for WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG. They do not fit WHOOP 4.0 because its attachment system is different.
4. Choose the available colors
The adjustable nylon band is available in Black or Army Green. Smartwatch-side connectors are available in Black or Silver. The fixed WHOOP-side frame is Silver.
Current materials and included hardware
| Band material | Adjustable hook-and-loop nylon |
|---|---|

How to install the WHOOP 5.0 or WHOOP MG module
- Insert the side without the locating pin into the WHOOP-side frame first.
- Press the side with the locating pin into place. This is the frame side with two small indentations.
- Do not press both sides into the frame at the same time.
- Confirm that the module is fully seated before wearing the band.
Attach the watch side using the correct method for its connector system. If anything does not align smoothly, stop and recheck the connector type and size rather than forcing it.
Frequently asked questions
Will a 22mm standard Quick Release band fit a 22mm Garmin QuickFit watch?
No. The matching width does not make the connector systems interchangeable. Choose the product made for the connector system specified for your watch.
Does every Garmin watch use Garmin QuickFit?
No. Choose the Garmin QuickFit product only when your exact Garmin model specifies QuickFit in a supported 22mm or 26mm size. If your watch instead uses standard Quick Release, choose the matching 18mm, 20mm or 22mm Quick Release option.
Do these bands work with both WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG?
Yes. Both current SYNCRBAND product lines are designed for WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG.
Do these bands fit WHOOP 4.0?
No. WHOOP 4.0 uses a different attachment system.
What should I send if I am still unsure?
