Nice, but it pinches

The band is very long to start, but you can remove links to make it fit. It was not the easiest chore to remove the links but I finally got it right. The big problem is it pinches when you are clasping it onto your wrist. It happened a few times and was really irritating my skin - but I figured a way to make it work by holding one finger under the part that pinches until I get it clasped. It's awkward but it works. And once it's on, the band does look very nice.

Pros
  • Enhances the overall look of the Fitbit Charge 2
Cons
  • Over time, may develop a "worn" appearance

Good quality band. good for me

Read through all the reviews trying to determine if I'd like this band or not and I'm happy to say that I'm super impressed with what I received. Band is definitely weighted, but not too much, just has that good heavy feel that comes with a nice watch. Like most reviews, this band is very big, but it was easy to take off links using the kit that was provided with the band. It does slightly have a masculine look to it, but not enough that I wouldn't wear it, I still love the look/feel of it…

Pros
  • Provides excellent value for money
Cons
  • Limited availability in stores

Check the Screws: my feedback

I'll start by saying: I love this band! And I love that it comes with all the tools to add or subtract links for a custom for! I have two concerns. One, there were smudges of something on the band when I opened it. I thought it was damage, but I was able to rub it off. Just kind of a bummer to open something brand new and have stuff on it already. Two, the screws that hold the clamp in place were both loose. This is the clamp that holds the Fitbit to the band. Fortunately, I have a screwdriver…

Pros
  • Suitable for both men and women
Cons
  • May shift during physical activity and require readjustment

Adjusting this band

This band feels solid & has a more professional appearance than some bands. Adjustment is not too difficult, though there are no adequate instructions provided, but found a video and it's pretty much what you might expect. Hammer out pins, remove link, and hammer pins back in. It would be nice if the links were a bit narrower, to allow for more precise adjustment. I have a small wrist, and removed 7 links, but it was too tight, and 6 links is a bit too loose. One extra pin is provided with the…

Pros
  • Lightweight and doesn't feel bulky
Cons
  • Could cause discomfort during extreme temperatures (hot or cold

This wasn't too difficult to install. Love the look, much more modern! And the weight is nice, not too heavy and not too light! I did have to remove four links, but the fit is perfect! Not too tight, not too loose! When you remove the pins to resize the band, pay attention to the arrows! Make sure they are pointing down. Otherwise the pins are very difficult to get back in. (again, that was only because I didn't have the arrow pointing down) other then that little mistake, it was extremely easy

Pros
  • Smartwatch Bands
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all Fitbit Charge 2 models

Nice wristband for my Fitbit

This band looks just like a watchband. I have a small wrist and needed to remove 6 links. There is a tool included with the band that is fairly easy to use to remove links. Read and follow the instructions carefully. Be sure to remove links so that the clasp fits flat on the inside of your wrist, which means you may have to remove links from both sides of the band. I removed 2 from one side and 4 from the other. It fits well and looks nice. Good value for quality!

Pros
  • Accessories
Cons
  • May not be comfortable for extended wear

Good design, holds up well.

My only 'con' (and the reason I didn't give it 5 stars) is that it's fairly heavy; I have a noticeable (to me) dent in my left wrist from it so I switch it to my right wrist at night (if I wear it). Fairy easy to adjust and install (tools are provided), but I don't switch bands ever so can't speak to how it holds up to frequent band changes. Clasp mechanism is great (better than most, you pinch both sides and it releases easy-peasy). I've had it for quite some time (a year or more?) and there…

Pros
  • Available in various designs and colors
Cons
  • May interfere with heart rate monitoring accuracy

Great band for the price.

This is my third band for my Charge2. The previous 2 were the silicone rubber type. Each lasted about a year so I thought I would try something different. I liked the looks of the metal band, it is more like a traditional watchband. Hopefully since it is metal it will be more durable. I just received it today. The quality seems good. It took me about 10 minutes to remove links to get it to fit. (It took a couple of times to get the correct number of links.) As long as you take care and follow…

Pros
  • Scratch-resistant material
Cons
  • Magnetic closure could weaken over time

Exactly what I wanted

This is great for the price! I have had mine for almost a year now and it's great! I thought it might be cheap in quality because of the low price but it's NOT! It feels heavy like a real metal watchband. It's very comfortable and has not tarnished or turned color, not even the clasp. It's obviously made with stainless steel as it claims! I wash my hands a lot and I don't like to always take off my watch to do so. This thing has held up to a lot of abuse! It doesn't even pinch my armchair like…

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • Does not include a warranty

Very sturdy, difficult to swap out

I’ve had this band for several months now. I’m very happy with how sturdy it is and how well it’s held up. My only complaint is that I thought I’d be switching out bands more frequently, but this is such a pain to remove that I just leave this one on 24/7. Works very well as an everyday band, so if you’re not concerned with switching bands for different looks, this is perfect. Great value for the price.

Pros
  • Stylish and fashionable
Cons
  • Could cause sweat buildup under the band

Great band; sturdy and attractive

I had a good feeling that this would be just what I wanted, and it is. Very sturdy band with a nice heft to it. Taking out the links to shorten it was very easy, but I did have to take a peek at YouTube to make sure that I did it correctly. It is the easiest band that I have ever adjusted. It is a little less heavy duty than the metal band on my g-shock watch, but then again, the watch is a lot heavier than my Fitbit. I would have liked to see the fine adjustment capability that my watch band…

Pros
  • 5 x 5 x 0.7 inches
Cons
  • Could scratch easily

More masculine than expected

I bought this replace the original band that came with my Fitbit. This comes with a hammer and a device to dislodge pins in the band so it can be made larger or smaller. They also provide a little plastic jig to help align the band while you make these adjustments.At first, I needed to make band smaller and that was fairly easy, however, I made it too small and needed to add back a link. That was not as easy to do. The jig did not hold the pieces in alignment and took 15-20 minutes to get the…

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • May not fit properly on some wrist sizes

Really beautiful and easy to adjust, very durable

I love this! Arrived really quickly, and the kit for removing pins and links is easy to use (plus can be used on other watches, saving me $20 at the jeweler's in the future).My Fitbit Charge HR 2 is 4 years old, its last band held on with super glue. I almost spent 175 on a new wire mesh one, but for under $20 this one looks brand new all over again. So pleased.Feels sturdy, looks great. I'll update if any issues but I'm a happy customer.Update Dec 20 2020: finally broke (and I am HARD on this…

Pros
  • 3.2 ounces
Cons
  • May feel heavy on the wrist

Awesome band - will purchase again in future

I've been wearing this band for over a year now (purchased August 2018), and it's been awesome! Still looks great, even though the fitbit itself has several scratches. I get a lot of compliments on it too, and people ask about it all the time. It's completely comfortable to wear, it does NOT pull arm hair, and the latch is perfectly secure. I love the fact that it looks high end, meaning I can wear this in professional environments or to social events and it will completely match. This is a…

Pros
  • Suited for all skin types
Cons
  • Band may become too loose or too tight throughout the day

Band is not really for a petite womans wrist

I like how the band works, it was easy to put on the watch and easy to remove links. But I have small wrists & need a 1/2 link for it to be truly comfortable. I wish the band was designed for a woman, the watch plus where it attaches to the band is wider than my wrist, I wish the band was a bit narrower for a female arm. Other than that I love how easy it is to remove my watch now, I broke my original band forcing clothes over it because unbuckling it was just a P.I.T.A. So, style & design…

Pros
  • NS-CR2A10
Cons
  • Stainless steel may cause irritation for some users

Easy to install and remove links

I needed a band that was not rubber silcone etc as I have developed a reaction to the previous band.I also live on a farm so leather is not the best option.I considered the other bands with the magnetic clasp but when I saw the photo of the women getting burned because the magnet was so strong it pull the hot pan I decided this was the best first option.So Far it’s great! It was very easy to remove the one link I needed too and it’s seems sturdy and durable. Took less than 5 minutes to remove…

Pros
  • Perfect for gifting
Cons
  • Does not include additional features like GPS or music playback

Fantastic watch bracelet for my fitbit! I was concerned it might be too small as I have large wrists. I actually had to remove a link to fit properly. It is sturdy. I am rough on watches and has so far held up to a number of serious bangs already with only minor cosmetic concerns which i can easily remedy myself with my jewelry skills.

Pros
  • Comfortable to wear
Cons
  • Uncomfortable for sleeping with the device on

Good price for quality band

This is real stainless band that fits my fit bit charge 2. I was buying the plastic band every few months because the clips break off after a few months. This SS band is well made and fits perfectly for my fit bit. It was a bit hard to take off the links but once it's done, it works great! I never have to buy another band again!

Pros
  • Provides better visibility of the screen
Cons
  • Limited number of matching accessories available

I want to give it 5 stars but.

Out of the box I really liked this and it had sooo much promise. Unfortunately it just didn't work. I could never get the connection to fully connect. (See pic) That being said, I was still able to wear it safely for a week with every day wear but no workouts. The band is really nice and looks great. I'd say it's more of a men's style band but I wore it comfortably as a woman and it wasn't too bulky though it was definitely the largest band I've worn. If it were any larger, it would be too much

Pros
  • Adds a touch of elegance to the Fitbit Charge 2
Cons
  • May not be as durable as advertised

Band is nice, difficult to remove links

The band is very nice stainless steel. It looks good with my fitbit. The only reason for the lack of a star was that the tool and instructions for removing links was difficult to follow and cumbersome to use.

Pros
  • Smartwatch Accessories
Cons
  • Not customizable to personal style
