Review (5/5): 3 Pack (White/Slate/Lake blue) of the Niutop Watchband Style Band for Fitbit One
This review is for the 3 Pack (White/Slate/Lake blue) of the Niutop Watchband Style Band for Fitbit One. I received a promotional discount on this item in exchange for providing a review. I have been using this item daily for a little over a month and wanted to share my experience.
First Impressions
* The items were exactly as pictured, the colors really bright and crisp.
* It took some work getting the FitBit One in and out of the band. It gets a little easier the more you use it. I do not view this as a problem as I know its not going to fall out.
* Was not easy to insert the fasteners on the one end of the band to the connectors on the other. This is still and issue, but again, I do not view this as a negative as I can trust that it will remain secure, but it can be a pain, easier with help, to fasten it.
Observations from wearing.
* The FitBit One was very secure in the band, never worried nor experienced it falling out, coming loose, etc.
* Once fastened securely the band never unsnapped by accident.
* After the first week or so I started to get a rash on my wrist. I switched it to the other wrist and experienced the same thing. I took off the band, removed the FitBit, then washed the band in soap and water. I wore it for several weeks after this, on the same wrist, and did not experience any issues.
* I was used to clipping my FitBit to my pocket or shirt, and do not normally wear a watch. I did not have any problem wearing it, was very comfortable and often forgot I even had it on. It did take some getting used to, remember to remove for a shower, and not getting it overly wet while washing my hands, but I got used to it very quickly.
* I did notice a few occasions that if I made exaggerated arm movements it would trigger as steps on my FitBit one.
Overall
I would recommend this for anyone looking for a watchband style carry for their FitBit. I use mine daily and I not even considered going back to clip style carry. I do recommend that when you first receive it that you wash it with soap and water, rinse and let dry before using. You will never need to worry about the FitBit becoming unsecured from the band.
