I am thinking of getting a FitBit Blaze; however, does anyone else feel as though they don't have the most feminine options for the interchangeable bands? Yes there is the purple and the leather bands, but with the Alta just coming out with the matching grey and tan bands that the Blaze has, why shouldn't the Blaze then receive the light pink leather band that Alta sports. And in terms of versitility with the metal band option, in my opinion, the siver as well looks more like a man's watch than a woman's. With phone companies providing more and more metallic color options, i.e. gold and rose gold, I think FitBit is really losing out on marketing their new fitness watch to a broader audience. Just looking for peoples thoughts...

@samfabz Many people are going the 3rd party frames and bands. There are several threads in here about them. You can check them out and see what people are saying.
Hope that helps!

I've gone a little crazy with all of the options for third-party frames and bands. I have quite a selection now

I just received the rose gold frame and mesh, magnetic band and I love it. It's so much more flexible and even a bit lighter. The magnetic band is awesome for me as I sometimes have dexterity issues with my right hand and the original band could be troublesome for me at times I'm on the hunt for more colors lol. I bought the frame and band separately from the same seller and had no issues with attaching the band to the frame. They do sell them already put together I believe. I used seller UMTele on Amazon, they have great reviews and it shipped from Kentucky, not China :). The FitBit itself popped into the frame perfectly, as snug and secure as the original frame. You can do a search here on third bands as well, there are several other aftermarket sellers that folks have purchased from with excellent results.

I have the regular gold and mesh from UMTele along with a royal blue frame and stainless mesh band from Otiom? Otium--another Prime Seller. and yes, they both came from Kentucky. prices have dropped substantially since they first appeared in March 2016.
I have the "colorful" mesh band from Vovofit and a pink metal frame from a seller that starts with the letter M, i cant remember their names., but both fit tightly snap into the frame, no wiggling. I learned how to attach the new bands to frames with tweezers (jeweler showed me),
I think that the price for both colored bands and frames comes to under $25.00 for both pieces

I have the pink rose gold band/frame and the silver band/frame ordered. Do you like the colorful? I almost ordered it as well. Otiom is one of the other sellers I have seem mentioned, I am trying to stick with Prime sellers.

the colorful is my most favorite followed by the royal blue--both seem a bit wider which is nice. although my wrist is "svelte" at 6.75", the band looks good even wrapping long with the magnet
