Garmin Forerunner 225 Strap Keeper

Replacement strap keeper for Garmin Forerunner 225, may fit other Garmins also or could probably be scaled to suit others.

I originally made a plain rectangular one which fitted over the metal buckle, but it was annoying/kept moving & sliding off the end.
I then intended to make one fit closer so it wouldn't come off the end, but who has TWO Torx T6 screwdrivers to take the band off...

Hence I just did an 'open' type loop, such that you can simply bend the strap and pop it in. Put the strap with buckle into the 'bottom' section, which is slightly narrower such that it grips the band and doesn't move around or fall off. The 'top' section is slightly looser so its easy to insert the loose strap bit when wearing.

End result I actually prefer to the original rubber loop, because it doesn't move around when you're putting the watch on.
