One of the trickiest parts of getting started with a brand-new wristband tracker is simply learning how to get it clasped properly. The following post can help you with that!
How do I clasp my Alta wristband more easily?
We're confident that you'll be able to get your alta clasped with just a little practice. Don't be discouraged if it's difficult at first - it definitely gets easier over time!
How do I change my Alta wristband?
Fitbit Alta's wristband is detachable from the top and bottom of the tracker, so that you can replace it with accessory bands of different color or material. For help with detaching your Alta's wristband, check the steps in this help article, or watch the video below.

@Mau55 - They HAVE changed the design - quite a while ago. Please see my previous post on where to find bands with watch type closures.

I am having the same issues with the clasp. Very difficult to clasp.

Hi Dinamariea:
Im sorry you are still having problems with the clasp. This is what I do. I clasp my band before putting it on my wrist. Then I attach one side of the band before I put it on. I place my Alta on my wrist. Then I attach the other side of the band to the Alta. Did this make sense to you? I hope so because it takes less than a minute to do it this way.

I, too, found it impossible to pinch hard enough to snap the pins into the holes to close the Alta band. I looked for a band with a buckle instead if snaps/pins and found the one offered by Fitbit. Seriously!? $30 plus shipping for a single band with a 1-yr warranty. Go to Amazon. I got 10 bands for $10. They claim to be the same material as the Fitbit bands, but even if not, they seem sturdy enough. The clips to attatch to the device work easily, the buckle is easy to close, and I get 10 colors.

Scootrn2, Love your thinking out of the box idea. I've already bought buckling bands on Amazon, but you've given me a way to make use of the original band, too. Thanks!

I pinch the prongs in the needed holes with the fit bit unhooked at the face band. Then I clasp it on my wrist.

Target has cute bands that actually close, made by FitBit that actually close like a normal watch band and they are only $14. I love mine!

Hi Raquela:
I do love my Alta Fitbit & wear it 24/7. It gets charged when I take a shower.
If I can be of anymore help, just give a hollar.

I also do it this way : detaching the wrist band from the tracker, clasping at the right spot, and then clicking the wrist band back on. But I was wondering whether this would not wear out the latching mechanism ...
Anyone any idea/experience?

AnnaBoom, I did it that way, too, for a few months. Then the holes I put the pins in all the time relaxed a tiny bit, just enough that I can now snap the pins in with one hand to close the Alta band on my wrist without resorting to using the attachment clasp at the unit to put it on. So I guess my advice is not to worry about it since you'll soon be able to work the pins to close the band on your arm.
