Get this band and trash the supplied band
I have finally jumped on the fitness tracker bandwagon but hated the supplied band with my new Alta. Very hard to fasten, looks terrible and you sweat underneath it. I bought two of these one for me and one for my Mother. We both love this band. So easy for her to get on and off with easy adjustment for size. I was skeptical about the magnet but it is stronger than I thought it would be. Neither of us have had any trouble with it getting loose or falling off. It looks like a watch and not a fitness tracker which is what I wanted. I only wish they came in different sizes or a way to adjust the length. My wrist is small and it magnet part loops all the way around but I still love it and wear it everyday. It took less than five minutes to put these on both of our Alta's. Press the lever and it slides right on and matches up to the Alta perfect.

Definitely doesn't fit a small wrist!
Update: Swees customer service has gone above and beyond, a rarity these days. They are sending me a different band and we're willing to customize! They always have had a quality product, it was a sizing issue and that will be rectified.I was thrilled when I received my metal mesh band and it was beautifully packaged, an expensive presentation. I have a very small wrist and was so dismayed to find that it was way too big, even at its tightest! I folded the latch under and pulled it all the way over, it doesn't look very nice but does fit this way. (It does start to slip however)Update: Customer service contacted me within 24 hours and offered to customize a band for me. After reading ALL of the reviews, I believe it would be in their best interest to offer two sizes because there are a few of us at either end of the spectrum.Fabulous customer service! Rare in this day and age!

LOVE - just be careful of laptops!
I have only had this for two days and i LOVE it!!! I got the black and am posting pictures because I did not see any black band pictures. Hopefully this will help others on what the black one looks like on. Also, one of the pictures has the Alta band next to it so you can see the size. Some pictures i found on the reviews made the band look HUGE when it is actually smaller than the rubber Alta band.like i said i love this band! It fits well and the magnet is insanely strong! it contours to my wrist so much better than the fitbit ever did. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the magnet. like i said it is very strong, which is wonderful, i do not worry about it falling off ever..... HOWEVER, i was working on my laptop today and the laptop kept going into sleep mode while i was working on it. I was very confused for the first hour or so and then it finally hit me! the magnet is SO STRONG that it was affecting my laptop. I have run so tests and nothing seems to be permanently damaged but I would suggest (like i have started doing) taking it off if you are going to be on your laptop (because the magnet is literally resting on the computer when you are typing). I have not had any issues with a desktop seeing that the magnet does not come in direct contact with the tower.Just please please please remember to take it off if working on a laptop. I am glad I realized it before anything bad happened.But seriously, I am obsessed and will probably get one in silver too. :)

Meh---but really good customer service
Looks nice but...1. Doesn't fit over my hand well to slid into my wrist2. The magnet doesn't hold as well as it should so it periodically loosens over time3. The metal from the band catches on every little thread and pulls...no buenoUPDATE:I stand by what I said above about the metal band....but the Swees Customer service was great! Without prompting they contacted me, said they would look into the issues I stated above with their engineering, AND offered to send me their other model, a leather band for no charge.Fitbit Alta Bands Leather, Swees Genuine Leather Band With Buckle Replacement Accessories Leather Wristband Bands Small & Large for Fitbit Alta, GoldThe leather band has been great so far and has none of the issues that the metal one didThe link for the leather one is below:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0KZCBY?m=AOLQEGVANCXGW&ref_=v_sp_detail_page

Love, love, love this band!!!
I'm loving this band! It's exactly as pictured and described, I have a 6 1/8" wrist and this band fits perfectly! Very light weight, and comfortable. The magnetic closure has stayed secure all day, hasn't snagged on anything. I purchased this in rose gold, it's beautiful.

a few issues but love it overall!!!
Love the look of the band, it is very sleek and I got compliments as soon as I start using it. My coworker told me that they did not get the fitbit because of plastic strap that comes with it, now they are completely in love with how it looks with a metal strap.There are three issues with this band though:1. The magnetic closure does not stay in place, it moves and get loosen throughout the day. I find myself adjusting it all the time. The magnet also sticks to any metal and it pulls the strap open, you can imagine how annoying that is.2. I don’t like the sharp corners on the magnetic closure (not the rounded corner, it’s the side that connects the closure with the strap), I scratched my leather sofa the other day when I tried to grab the remote.3. I have small wrist (5.25”) and the small band is too big for me as you can see in the picture.I would have given the band just a 2 stars review with good look and lack functionality, but I was able to address the issues and the quality seems to be better than the original strap so I think this band is worth 4.5 stars.This is how I addressed the issues - instead of looping the strap the normal way, I loop it the other way around so the magnetic closure is hidden in between the strap and my skin, also, I fold the magnetic part so it is touching the strap and not my skin. See pictures to see what I am talking about.1. The strap is really tight this way! The fitbit does not slide up and down my wrist like it used to. The closure stays in place and the strap does not get pulled open when sticking to metal.2. The sharp corners are now hidden, it does not scratch anything.3. It fit my wrist perfectly now.Let see how long this band lasts!
