Visually, the oil they have put inside and is slightly visible from the holes, combined with the black buckle, makes it match very well with the Fenix, which has a dark bezel color. Otherwise, in terms of feel, if you like and find the classic Garmin silicone strap comfortable, you will find this one comfortable as well. Personally, I consider it an excellent choice with a perfect fit and feel in the hand. The only issue is that it may appear slightly dirtier and I'm also not sure how it will look after prolonged use - usually light colors can "yellow" a bit when worn out.
