original band sports band and now hook and loop band

[sheilamcteague]

This is been my 1st time in a long time reaching out to the fitbit community. I have had the zip (my1st one) I didn't like anything on my wrist. That worked for me for the longest time. Than my daughter bought me flex 2. I started using that and didn't mind the silicone band since it was thinner.

Anyway here I am back to getting another tracker. I wanted one with a clock. So far I'm ok with the Charge 5. But am thinking of getting another band. I was very much interested in the hook and loop til i read about it catching and slipping off. Or one of the clasp is trouble to secure. And mostly I never thought about it getting dirty. The original band (infinity band?) it's not bad. But i'm concern about the security of making sure that's in that hole and threaded through. Which brings me to the sports band. It looks to be a bit securer. I'm not wild about the silicone (I sweat a lot). But am I wrong is the sport band wider than the original?

I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks

Also realize that the third-party bands on Amazon have just about any material. color, and style you could think of.

Thanks.

There is a lot going on. I just wish the reviews for the stretchy bands were better. Common thread. tracker comes un hooked.
