Review on ๐ŸŒˆ GinCoband Fitbit Blaze Bands Replacement - 8 Color Options, Large & Small Sizes for Women | No Tracker Included by Tiffany Scofield

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Accurate reproduction

Nice straps, especially for the price. I bought one in turquoise and one in white. They're pretty similar to the original Fitbit Blaze straps, but obviously they're not licensed, so there are some differences in design and product quality. First, the look and striped texture of the straps mimic the real thing very closely (minus the Fitbit logo). However, GinCobands are stiffer and do not become more flexible with prolonged use. The material isn't as flexible and stretchy as the original band that came with my Blaze, which affected the fit a bit. On the original band, the fourth hole is perfect for a comfortable fit. On the GinCoband, four is too tight and five is too loose; This sometimes caused problems during my workouts due to the heart rate monitor. There also seemed to be some connector pin alignment issues on my white strap, although there was no issue with the teal strap. Another thing to note is that these strips are not easy to clean. They pick up dark dirt around the edges that cannot be wiped off. So be careful if you are interested in the white stripe as mine started looking dirty after a while. I've heard this happens with original Fitbit straps too, so I guess nothing is lost or gained. I don't notice any dirt on my original tape because it's very dark blue. Still, I would probably buy one of these straps again because the price is so good. The inflexible fit is still an issue for me, so I'll probably wear GinCobands for cosmetic purposes rather than sport. I might also opt for darker colors to avoid the staining problem.

Pros
  • High quality Comfortable and fashionable Made of durable and waterproof materials
