Review on ✨ SKYLET Compatible with Fitbit Ionic Bands: Soft Sport Silicone Wristband for Men and Women - Black-Gray, Large by Eddie Tyson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fits well, looks good but durability is questionable

I bought this in early June to replace an OEM strap I've had for over a year. I've had Fitbits for years now and am really glad they've moved away from the non-interchangeable Surge band. As a curmudgeon I'm always looking for a good deal and I've decided to give this band a chance. Because it looked good and didn't cost as much as some of the other harnesses available. When it arrived it was easy to install in Ionic and fitted well. I appreciated the open design that allows for good airflow but also allows for multiple adjustment positions to change size. One issue I have with many watch straps is the possibility of a bad odor after a while, but I didn't have any concerns about that (at least when I tried it). Let's get to the biggest problem - durability. I'm quite an active guy, I work at a desk but do a lot of housework (gardening, light carpentry and general repairs). So I need something that can get hit or snag on the edges of things without fear of my watch falling off. Connecting the group wasn't a problem, however the little loop that the extra group is stuck in was a problem. After 2 months of ownership of this loop, it broke and broke. To me that is unreasonable. It should be more durable then. (See attached photo). In general, I liked the group, but I will not buy it again.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have opted for a newer model
