Alta HR Band Problems - Best Replacement Band

[sk-fit]

Hi.  Like many others, I have had problems with the band breaking away from the device.  I've tried two replacements from Fitbit without any luck.

Has anyone found a third-party replacement band that doesn't break? I'd love a recommendation.

[techyblast]

I have a fitbit but the strap is too small for me, any ideas where i can get an original strap from? There are many generic ones out there so I'm looking for a proper fitbit strap.

I was able to chat online with Fitbit and they are replacing my entire Alta
HR. I was impressed! I’ve not tried the mesh band. Carol

2 years old-so out of warranty. They replaced the band free of charge, but it broke the same as the original did

Its not the metal or the screw. Its the flimsy plastic slide it breaks away from the band. Its not very strong plastic. 5th band 1 yr 

[Simonetti]

Its the plastic slide the qatch slides into. Its made of plastic and breaks very easily.  Im searching for an all metal type so it wont break away. Its n I t the metal lock mechanism. Its the insert.  Trust me i been studying how these a rt e made. I think fitbit would wake up!!

[Simonetti]

I found a site. Wish. They sell msny different styles and the plastic face seems to be made of metal. Amazon carries them. I may grab one to see. In the description there is no mention of plastic or durable plastic or what ever adjective u wanna use.  It say all metal etc etc.

[SueJK]

Wow-that’s worse than I experienced. Mine all broke the same way. Definitely a Fitbit problem.
