fabulous band for classing up your Fitbit
I'm not used to wearing anything on my wrist. I got out of the habit of wearing bracelets & watches years ago, so I usually just find it annoying to have something around my wrist. I even push my sleeves up all the time. But I really wanted a Fitbit, so here I am.
I only just got my Fitbit and a couple of extra bands (including this one) yesterday. I was concerned that the sport band that came with it would be too uncomfortable, and I wanted something to switch out to look dressier, anyway, so I chose this based on the great reviews and reasonable price. It was a great decision.
I got the light brown (#7). I've attached a few pics to show that it looks exactly like the photos.
I believe the listing's claim that it's real leather because it looks and feels like good quality, soft, supple leather. The stitching, the details, the way the clasps fit - they're all a fine quality and make the Fitbit look like a watch.
It's thin and light, while perfectly sturdy enough. I had no problems with the clasps, which I've attached & detached twice, now. Only time will tell if it holds up, but I expect it will.
One photo shows it next to the original Fitbit sport band, which is a size large. They're about the same length. It's much easier to buckle the leather strap, and it stays secure. Even though they both have quite a few buckle holes, I find it easier to get this leather band just tight enough / not too tight than I do with the original sport band.
Of the three bands I now have - the other two being the Fitbit sport band and a woven nylon replacement band - this is the most comfortable. It's soft, light, and has the narrowest profile. It's easy to forget I have it on, which is a big bonus to me. I can see buying more in other colors.
