updated: fantastic seller
This seller was a very attentive and is how all sellers should be. Would definitely order from again and suggest you do too.Update: seller immediately contacted me and after I explained that I do not change ratings for refunds, they still sent a replacement and offered a refund. The fact that they stood behind their product really means something. The band must be at an odd size for my wrist, it does hold better now with the replacement. Though it does unclasp sometimes (usually in the morning), I can run with the new one and it doesn't come undone.----original----When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised. It came with some extra links and a pin romoval tool. I was excited. I sized it and put it on my wrist. It was a little tight so I went looking on the clasp to find any intermediate adjustments...there aren't any. I clapped my hands together and sure enough the clasp became undone. I put an extra link back in to increase the band diameter and loosen it on my wrist since there were no adjustments within the clasp. I put it back on and it fit better, if not a little loose. But once again I clapped my hands and the clasp undid itself.I get it ... the product isn't expensive and will have faults. I was expecting discoloration in between the links (which there is). But for the band not to stay clasped on an "active" watch, well...that is just unexceptable.The only recommendation I have is NOT to buy it unless you want to make your Fitbit look sophisticated while doing 500 steps.

Solid strap with a professional feel.
The only thing this lacks are intermediate adjustments. The tool to remove links was easy to use. About 10 mins later I had removed one link from each side (I wanted the clasp to stay centered).I paired this with a black frame and wear it regularly. It shows basically no scratching unless you look really really close.The clasp is great. It's easy to undo, but stays put, even after fiddling with it constantly throughout the day.I guess the only drawback, which I didn't really anticipate, is that the shape and color remind me of those old Casio calculator watches from the 80s.

This is a horrible product. While the price was very good
This is a horrible product. While the price was very good, the product is a 'cheap as cheap can be.' It is super complex (if not impossible if you are not a jeweler) to attach the Fitbit. They give a false impression that this is a 'snap-on-snap out' watch band. NO! You have to screw and unscrew lots of microscopic jewelry bars to make it work. There are no instructions what so ever. I mailed it back to Amazon. I consider it to be one of the worst products I have purchased thus far in 2018. I guess I would be better off going to the Fitbit site and buying a genuine replacement band. I would avoid this product unless you are an engineer or jeweler.

Gives a great new look
I got this to replace the factor sport band to my blaze.Fit was great, didn't nees to adjust as i have a pretty large wrist.The band feels good, like a regular watch. I prefer the metal for being cooler on my wrist over time.1 big compliant however.The metal "pins" i'll call them that comnect this band to the original blaze frame are not the easiest to get into place. Also, they have a habit of sliding out of the watch, and then i'm on the carpet searching.Its worth it to spend a few more bucks, get the frame and save yourself heartache.Overall, great product. I will say it does scratch easily, but what can I ask for something so cheap.

Great watch band, comes with all tools needed. Highly Recommend.
Very high quality gun metal band. As a working professional I was looking for something to make my Fitbit Blaze look a bit more premium. This band makes it stand out and it's $100 or more cheaper than the Fitbit bands.Just a couple notes - some reviews complaining it didn't come with the watch frame - this is not needed as the frame is made to be switched between bands quickly with just two spring loaded pins the Fitbit Blaze already comes with. The only reason for another frame would be if you wanted to switch between bands on a daily basis.I have exercised with this band on without any issues or discomfort, and the included tools and jig to change the watch band size was very easy to work with.So far have had this for about 2 weeks and haven't seen any scratches so quality of metal also seems very good.

no fine adjustment within the clasp
Easy to attach to Blaze frame. Love the "pin pusher" tool included. I was able to change out the band in 15 mins. One thing I didn't like was the lack of fine adjustment. Most clasps have multiple holes to do fine adjustment, this band doesn't have it (see photo). You are stuck with the lengths of the links.

... with a band pin removal kit for resizing thewatch great value
Came with a band pin removal kit for resizing the watch great value.The band is solid and high quality for the price, the tool for removing the pins is somewhat cheap but fully functional (just have to be careful to line it up correctly).

Looks great and resizng was easier than I expected
The band looks great, I arrived on time, and was easier to assemble than I thought it would be. At first I thought that removing links with the special tool looked like more effort than I wanted, but it really turned out to be quite easy.

Good strap
Ok so it’s well made and looks great.Be super careful and make sure the arrows are pointing in the right direction when you remove the pins. I made a mistake and spent an hour fixing it which almost drove me mad. Also, the metal base on the pin tool is not very solid or secure so I recommend putting a coin in the bag the pins come in to create a more solid base. The base on mine was not high enough to remove the pins effectively in any event and so I had to make the base even higher.Note - the watch strap will scratch against the base when you are removing the pins. I learnt this lesson the hard way - see photo. So, I recommend putting a small plastic bag underneath the strap to stop scratching.It was at that point I decided to use the coin method and so the bag was needed anyway and I avoided further scratches.Now fixed and fitted, I’m very pleased with the strap.Makes the Fitbit look much more expensive that it’s £150 price tag and also makes the watch look stealth.

Seemingly good value on face value, but poor product.
Initial reaction was pleasantly surprised by the weight of the package but then it all goes downhill from there.The instructions are basic, but seemingly straight forward - however either the pins in my bracelet were seized or the instructions were incorrect - removing them as per the manual resulted in them getting stuck, forcing them just made it worse.Pushing the pins out to the contrary of the instructions worked a treat...I'd also mention that its worth trying the bracelet with the watch in place in it's frame as this adds an extra link alone.Returned in frustration and realisation that perhaps as a fitness watch a rugged metal bracelet doesn't make a good running companion.

Lovely strap for my Fitbit Blaze
This strap looks really nice. Arrived quickly and I was about to return it as I didn't think that it fitted my Blaze but realised that you need to attach it to the surround that comes with the watch. I found it very easy to remove the sections to make the strap fit my small wrists. However, I bent a couple of the pins in the section remover by not aligning them correctly. Thankfully, there were spare pins but you do need to take care and ensure that you align the pins with the right sections of the strap. Someone had previously advised about putting a coin under the strap which I found to be a useful tip.

You need this in your life.
This watch bracelet is great.So much better than the original plastic and not a price that compares to manufacturers crazy one.I’ve had a few straps/ bracelets this last two years and some fail from the off. Not this one.Love the look with a black frame.In addition I must thank the seller for the great boxed presentation and included tools in this sale. Amazing.Amazing 5 Star Product and service.Thank you

An absolute headache to put together
More hassle than it's worth.Unlike the strap which comes with the Fitbit, the pins are not attached to the strap, and they are so fiddly and tricky to put together that you will have a hard time getting them to fit nicely into your watch.And god forbid if you finger slips. Because the pins have a spring in them, if your finger slips they will fire out of the strap in whatever direction they happen to be facing. Whether that be away from you, toward you or in my case under the television, never to be seen again. There's a reason they provide you with a spare.Even if you manage to fit the pieces together it is difficult to line the pin up with its hole as it doesn't fit flush inside the strap itself - so you cannot get a secure fasten.I will concede that the device provided for removing links in the strap is neat and useful but as I was shopping for a strap, this is just a silver lining to the clouds in this sh** storm.
