"* So a lot of the low star reviews I have read on here have complained about two things: The bands being stiff; they don't "lock" in place or are hard to get on off etc..."
"The only real reason I replaced it was because I wanted a new color and I had let the old one get kind of gross (I forgot to take it off before sticking my hands in some flour while making bread) and to be honest I probably could have cleaned the old one up if I had put in the effort."
"I wasn t ever wearing dark blue jeans, and all my clothes worn over that week the staining showed up I ve worn and washed 20-100 times before."
"Why didn't they just drop-ship another one rather than have to go through that rigmarole of return, refund, and then I had to re-order?"
"I have been wearing one of these wristbands for about two months now, and the fit and the attachment to the Charge 2 are every bit as good as the original."
"I was a bit concerned because of some of the reviews about stiffness, wearing out more quickly than original band and how the band rests on your wrist but I have not had any problems."
"I bought this 3 pack of bands because even if they didn't fit my device right, the price is so low (compared to one band from Fitbit) that it's worth risking it."

"* So a lot of the low star reviews I have read on here have complained about two things: The bands being stiff; they don't "lock" in place or are hard to get on off etc... For those who don't remember because it was probably several months of wear ago, Fitbit bands start out very stiff and stretch over time... I have only been wearing them for a few days now, so I can't remark on the allergy part."
"* I bought one of these about two years ago when the original band on my fitbit started to wear out... The only real reason I replaced it was because I wanted a new color and I had let the old one get kind of gross (I forgot to take it off before sticking my hands in some flour while making bread) and to be honest I probably could have cleaned the old one up if I had put in the effort... I have fairly sensitive skin but these don't seem to break me out."
"For some reason looking at the photos I thought the bands would be brighter and lighter... I wasn t ever wearing dark blue jeans, and all my clothes worn over that week the staining showed up I ve worn and washed 20-100 times before... I was going to keep these even though I didn t like the colors because they did attach properly and such."
"Why didn't they just drop-ship another one rather than have to go through that rigmarole of return, refund, and then I had to re-order?... The only drawback of the product is that the color that appears on the screen that looks like Rose Gold is actually a fleshy peach color (colors in my picture are off too), but all the colors are still pretty... EDIT: after typing the above, I tried to take the new band off for a picture, but I cannot get one side off."
"* My original wristband broke just under a year after purchase (and was replaced at no cost), so when the replacement band also failed in under a year, I was not inclined to purchase one from Fitbit. I have been wearing one of these wristbands for about two months now, and the fit and the attachment to the Charge 2 are every bit as good as the original... I do wish there had been an option to choose the three colors rather than being limited to pre-selected color sets (even if it cost a few dollars more), since some of the bright colors I was interested in were bundled with colors I wouldn't wear."
"I was a bit concerned because of some of the reviews about stiffness, wearing out more quickly than original band and how the band rests on your wrist but I have not had any problems... I have been wearing the dark blue band for months... I do have a little difficulty getting the bands off but I think as I change them more often, it ll become easier."
"I bought this 3 pack of bands because even if they didn't fit my device right, the price is so low (compared to one band from Fitbit) that it's worth risking it... They snap in much more securely than the original bands and I haven't had any problems in terms of a skin reaction to them... I recommend anyone with a Fitbit to get these as a backup - my other Fitbits have had similar problems with the rubber coming off of the band where it attaches to the pebble."
Less Quick
"* So a lot of the low star reviews I have read on here have complained about two things: The bands being stiff; they don't "lock" in place or are hard to get on off etc... For those who don't remember because it was probably several months of wear ago, Fitbit bands start out very stiff and stretch over time. Compare a brand new Fitbit band with an old one and you will see 1/8 inch stretch or more on each side. These feel and look exactly the same way as a NEW Fitbit band so I assume the same softening stretch over time too... I have only been wearing them for a few days now, so I can't remark on the allergy part. The band clasp appears to be the same material as the fitbit bands, so I don't expect any allergic reaction from that part... I have to be very careful about my makeup, sunscreen, earrings and other jewelry (I can't even wear stick on earrings!"
"* I bought one of these about two years ago when the original band on my fitbit started to wear out... After that time the only default was that the color had maybe faded a little. The only real reason I replaced it was because I wanted a new color and I had let the old one get kind of gross (I forgot to take it off before sticking my hands in some flour while making bread) and to be honest I probably could have cleaned the old one up if I had put in the effort... The bands are super easy to change out but stay on securely. I'm happy that they come in packs of three now... I have fairly sensitive skin but these don't seem to break me out. I even sleep with my Fitbit on and haven't seen any issues."
"For some reason looking at the photos I thought the bands would be brighter and lighter... I don t know how they photoshopped that, but they are the same dull color no matter how the light hits them... After 8 days, I look down and suddenly notice the edges are all blue... It made no sense and I still don t know what the watch band touched to cause this. I wasn t ever wearing dark blue jeans, and all my clothes worn over that week the staining showed up I ve worn and washed 20-100 times before... I was going to keep these even though I didn t like the colors because they did attach properly and such... I can t justify the price for a week of use for each one."
"* At first I was disappointed in the service because the shipment was turned around by Amazon for "damage during shipping" but without any details on what happened. Furthermore, I had to wait until the product got back to the merchant before I was refunded. Why didn't they just drop-ship another one rather than have to go through that rigmarole of return, refund, and then I had to re-order?... Almost identical to Fitbit brand, the only difference is that the design is a bit more shallow and there is no "Fitbit" logo on the loop. The only drawback of the product is that the color that appears on the screen that looks like Rose Gold is actually a fleshy peach color (colors in my picture are off too), but all the colors are still pretty... If this is the case, I will definitely order again (but hopefully will not have to). EDIT: after typing the above, I tried to take the new band off for a picture, but I cannot get one side off."
"I was a bit concerned because of some of the reviews about stiffness, wearing out more quickly than original band and how the band rests on your wrist but I have not had any problems. I bought a three pack (large) and a dark blue singular band (small). I have been wearing the dark blue band for months... It looks and feels the same as the first day I put it on, it s perfect. I did make a mistake by buying large in the three pack but that was my error... Even if I don t wear a couple of the colors, you can t beat the price. I do have a little difficulty getting the bands off but I think as I change them more often, it ll become easier."
"* The rubber on the band that came with my Fitbit got to the point where it was separating from the clasp that attached to the Fitbit pebble and ultimately fell off completely. I bought this 3 pack of bands because even if they didn't fit my device right, the price is so low (compared to one band from Fitbit) that it's worth risking it. I'm glad I took a chance on these. They snap in much more securely than the original bands and I haven't had any problems in terms of a skin reaction to them. They're a bit tricky to swap out but that's what makes them so secure. All in all, very great product, especially for the price! I recommend anyone with a Fitbit to get these as a backup - my other Fitbits have had similar problems with the rubber coming off of the band where it attaches to the pebble."
