" ...  I've had my Alta HR Fitbit for just over a year and I can no longer use it.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Unfortunately I feel that the bands are fragile. ... My bands started falling off less than 6 months in. ... Its the connection between the band and the device that warped really fast so I"m afraid replacement bands will have the same issue.  ...  "
comment
" ...  All it included was the face, no band and no charger.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I like the fitbit, but the band broke recently and it won't stay on. ... For a $100 product, it's hard to stomach buying a new band so soon.  ...  "

" ...  More aggravating, shortly after the replacement Alta HR module was received (with no band), the latch that holds the wristband to the module began failing. ... When examined closely, it was easy to see that the soft wristband material had severely deteriorated where it mated with the metal module clasp. ... As the wristband material deteriorated, the joint tolerances opened up and the clasp could no longer secure the wristband. ... This is a design failure and a lack of competent materials engineering. ... The semi-soft wristband material deteriorates and does not hold the tolerances required to secure the strap to the ridgid metal clasp on the module.  ...  "
