I was hesitant on buying another off brand Fitbit band from Amazon because the last one I purchased for my wife wouldn't fit in the bezel. Her's was a nightmare and kept falling out.
No problems with this band and the Blaze fits nice and snug. This band is great and looks exactly like the original band. I'll probably buy another one so I have another color option.
It is super nice. It comes with two clasps (watch band fasteners). One of mine tore and I was still able to use it. I work in construction and it has held up to all tasks I have to do.
First impressions mean a whole lot. The box that this band comes in is very similar to the box that a Samsung Galaxy S8 comes in. Simple & black creating a stylish appearance of elegance.
The black frame is made of metal and send to be off solid construction. From every angle, it it's extremely difficult to tell whether it is painted or anodized black. Time will tell with wear. The Fitbit itself fits tightly and perfectly into the frame with no perceptible gaps.
The band. The band is already attached to the frame so you can use it right out of the box. It is soft and supple with the right amount of bend in the right spot. Should you ever need to change bands, just like an original band, the pins have a handy knob on the side that makes it much easier to depress. I ordered the small and although it fits, it is a little smaller than the original bands are. Now, should you ever need to change the band... This may be an issue in the future. I'm really not sure as this is a day one review. The band is really soft and I'm a little concerned that it may tear at the pin. I'm not going to test it today since this is for my everyday wear. I'll update this in the future too let you know.
Why only 4 out of 5 stars? The length honestly. If it was just a little longer, this would get a 6 out of 5!
Well after a year and a half my Blaze bands started to rip so I needed a new one. I never intended to buy a Fitbit branded band but rather to find a high quality band from Amazon. Overall the band looks great, I did wash it to ensure that anything that might make me break out into a rash were mitigated however for the large I bought it's still smaller than the original. It fits fine though just not as long as you can see in the pictures. The buttons feel fine on mine with a satisfying click however if they make the band the same length of the original it would be a home run.

Description
First things first, the buttons seems to be very flimsy no natter what. The first item I recieved, the buttons did not respond with the actual fitbit. I was able to order a replacement without paying again or having to first return the current one and waiting. It was good. I used the band on this with original casing meanwhile. Arrived quick as usual. The band is on the larger side and my husband could be concidered a pretty bug guy. He is a big build. Anyway. The original Fitbit band size SMALL was just enough for him to be able to use on the last holes. I ordered large thinking I needed large for him, based on other reviews and large is actually more than necessary. I think sizes are very different than original fitbit bands and these pictures are of me with my watch and his on to test the band. His arm is like 2-3 times as big as mine. Still recommend. Of good quality product, we are not sensitive to skin so haven't had that issue. He uses it daily to work out and band is still comfortable and the new case buttons are not firm but do work to make fitbit respond to them with no issues.
My Blaze watchband started tearing after almost 2 years. I opted for the black band and black metal and I think this looks much better than the original. Buttons work perfectly. I'm dropping a star for the sizing. I purchased the small band that supports 6.7" wrist and my wrist is 6.5". It fits but feels wierd to me to have such a small portion left over. Technically I guess it's correct. If my wrist was 6.7" it would be in the very last hole and technically would fit but feel awkward. If you're 6.5" - to 6.7" I would recommend you get the larger one.
Very good replica of the original band. Not 100%, but like 95% close to being OEM.
I had zero problems replacing the band.
I would recommend it if your band has problems. Mine caught on something, and where the silicone attaches to the metal, it came apart.
Just pop the watch from the band and place in the new one, and done.
Good quality. Very nice finish. I also like the double security band or locking strips. Not sure what it's called. Fits my Fitbit a little tight then other bands, and I was a little concerned injury about the connection between the band and the face, but actually it's all good and it's pretty strong.
Originally a negative review because the small band broke after a few months, but customer service was EXCELLENT. 2 stars at first because when I first got the band, it looked good and did not cause any issues even when I was running long distances; however, the small plastic piece that holds the rest of the band in place broke last month (11/2018), only 8 months after purchasing. Customer service was extremely easy to contact through Amazon and sent a replacement within 1 week. Very pleased overall with the experience.
