Third-Party Bands?

[fabio_santino]

With the Blaze's versatility of being a removable module, I'd really like to see some third party developers get creative with an assortment of different bands/frames, or maybe even different types of housing for the blaze (like something that's just a clip if you didn't want to wear it on your wrist). Did anyone see/hear of anything like this? The only accessories I can find right now are the ones made by Fitbit, which surprises me. I'd really like to find a canvas band, or one that has a frame that is some color other than silver (like black or gold).

I'm still wearing mine. I won't seek a replacement until I can completely turn it around on my wrist. I originally bought the large. Returned it. Got the small and decided it was too small. Returned it and ordered the large again. Now I've lost weight  - you wouldn't think much would come off of a wrist but it does. I've only lost 7 lbs. Anyway I probably should have kept the small but I think a medium would be perfect. I love the magnetic bands too. Still I'm close to almost wrapping the large all the way around.  And it didn't cost me $100 if I decide to replace them.

don't count on Topoot getting here anytime soon.  I placed my order on MARCH 26--still in transit, expected May 5?  sheesh,

i mentioned t hat I paid $49.00 for the frame attached to the silver mesh mianese band---the 2nd one that I ordered in gold frame and gold mesh is $36.90, same for the black frame they offer and band--prime seller so i hope to see it tomorrow.

My Toopoot frame arrived just now. It looks and feels totally identical to the official frame.

Sorry about the lobster claws, my hands are crazy sunburnt from being out rafting all weekend.  Wore a wetsuit but no sunblock 😞  Looks great in person and awesome for a $20 band and $8 frame.

wow!  how did it arrive so quickly?  it looks VERY nice!  congrats on a good deal.

Finally got my milanese (sp) band... took about a month since i ordered it.

I got this in the Rose color.  It isn't as bright as the pictures lead them to believe... so i'm a liiiil dissapointed in that. it's actually closer to my skin color. The band is really long... which i knew. i can pull the band almost to the end of the other side of the watch,

It does a nice job of keeping the band flush to my wrist. The silicone band actually made a lot of space in between my wrist and the watch. The magnet is very strong, hasnt moved from the spot i put it.. I havent worked out with it yet, but i really like it. Just wished i got the silver one. ... or i may have to get the rose gold blaze frame.

Jamaicangirl81,
Pictures of your band?
Still waiting for my silver milanese from toopoot a month ago also. Thinking of ordering black and/or rosegold but not so sure I want to wait another month +...

I ordered from Toopoot and I am waiting still like others.

I ordered a steel loop from V-moro on Amazon and it is perfect, and got to me within 10-12 days from China.

I also ordered from this seller on Ebay on 4/22 and it was delivered on 4/25!  It is beautiful and perfect fit as well, very happy.

I chose the prime seller and have the rose and silver mesh within 2 days, they are now aldo selling matching frames..i am expecting gold color today.

I purchased this one from Amazon and I am really happy with it!

I received this one today. Love it for $7.90. This is red but it person it looks more orange to me. http://amzn.to/1TyvloA Prime - got it in two days. There are other colors. Definitey a cheaper quality than the original but I don't see how anything could go wrong with it.

I rec'd the gold mesh and attached GOLD frame from UMTele today (2 day ship prime)...VERY nice for $36.00!!  the gold frame is a MATTE finish and looks good!!  this mesh is maybe 2mm wider, it's a keeper for sure, the Blaze is now very well dressed.

if someone tells me how to post a picture here i will gladly do it.. thanks!

I'm happy with my $26 DAYJOY rose gold band with clasp.  Waiting on a (hopefully) matching rose gold frame.  I've also added the IQ Shield screen protector, which you can't tell from this picture.

I bought a really awesome leather band, in camel color. If people have not already mentioned this over here then I'll say it, or if they did consider this as another vote in favor of this band:

http://www.amazon.com/bayite-Accessory-Leather-Watch-Fitbit/dp/B01D7H7RQW

It's a Bayite Camel Leather band. It is awesome! It looks like genuine leather, I did the whole array of quick tests to confirm its authenticity, including smelling the band, pressing the leather surface to see if it wrinkles like real leather (yes it does wrinkle) etc. Plus the color is gorgeous! This makes my Fitbit look less like a regular, utilitarian device and more like a bespoke, classic timepiece! Check out the pictures! You should totally get it! Only $15-ish.

Don't mind my hairy arm, lol!

@KSimmarano

(Sorry about that, i didnt get the notification that you had a question)

Here ya go. i wish i went with the silver as i said, but i'm loving the idea of this... the magnet is really strong, and you can adjust the tightness of the band in tiny increments to get your perfect fit.. i'm gonna get another one.

You can see though... they are pretty long. my wrist is about 6inches around and the band is nearly to the end.

[Fands]

i just got the regular gold with the matching gold frame (which is matte look--love it)! and mine fits the same, only my wrist is 6.75", so this newest one is actually a bit longer and it is also about 2mm wider.  it is a VERY nice look, the Blaze is better dressed than i am some days.  i kind of like the full wrap as it is very secure on my wrist, i was just hauling giant tubs of flowering plants from Costco and loosened the magnet on the band but i could feel it.

I heard from TooPoot again, they offered me compensation for being over 6 weeks with delivery or a refund.  I asked them to send me the matching purple frame they are now showing to go with the purple band i ordered back on March 26.  They agreed but English is not their first language, so they told me that they are "resending"...either i will have 2 purple bands or a frame and a matching purple band by July 4th i figure.

Maybe someone could make a waterproof third party band for blaze that would SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO useful

Did you receive your rose gold frame? And from what company? I received a Rose Gold and a Black frame yesterday through ebay, but both were defective. I thought the Rose Gold one was good, until the pin on one side (the same side as the defective Black one) came loose twice today and if I hadn't been wearing a long-sleeve shirt it would have dropped to the floor. This was after wearing it all day and night without any problems. The Black was defective to start with. Disappointing.
