Most Garmin watches use the same style pin and the same instructions apply for changing the band. Be aware that the Vivoactive HR, the successor to the Vivoactive, uses only ONE size Torx screwdriver for both sides of the pin. You need 2 screwdrivers of the same size.

What size? Sorry but I don’t know. My Torx screwdrivers came with a replacement band kit and the instructions don’t say.

Google does a bad job of distinguishing results between the Vivoactive and the Vivoactive HR. Just wanted to make people aware so they aren’t confused.
