Comfortable, nice stretch, large band
Nice stretch but not too loose. They look nice and feel comfortable, so I’m giving 5 stars. However, the black band wouldn’t connect to my Fitbit for some reason. Not sure why, I rotated it and tried several times and one side of the band just wouldn’t connect and lock in properly. So I moved on and tried this deep maroon/purplish band, and it locked in straight away with no issues. I still have plenty of room to make the band larger. My normal Fitbit band was a bit tight on the loosest notch. The large Fitbit band that came with the device was too loose on the tightest notch, so I fell somewhere between those sizes. This one fits perfectly with more room to tighten or loosen as needed.

Love the easy versatility that a stretch band offers
My main physical activity is some form of stepping (treadmill, walking in place, dancing, rebounder, portable step gadgets) plus an under-desk elliptical. I like to put my Fitbit on my ankle during the day because it's more accurate at tracking actual steps that way instead of relying on arm swings, and then switch to my wrist at night for better sleep tracking. Although the buckle straps do fit my ankle, it was a royal PITA to unbuckle it multiple times a day, and the silicone buckles are hard to fasten completely with my weak hands, so the buckle was always sticking out.So I went on Amazon to search for an elastic band for my Charge 5, and I landed here. I was pleased with the affordable price and the fact that it came with multiple bands. I love how easy it is to expand and shorten the band - just nanoseconds to switch from wrist to ankle and back again. The fabric is "soft enough" and much more comfortable than the silicone bands.There are only two down sides to this particular woven fabric: (1) The long edges get a little ratty after a bazillion times of readjusting the size, and (2) the woven nature means that it picks up fuzz. If it stayed on my wrist all the time, I don't think the fuzz would be as much of an issue, but since I wear it on my ankle, it picks up the fuzz from my socks and also from my blanket when I fall asleep with it on and forget to switch to my wrist.I started wearing the black band immediately because that was the color that suited me best, and now in hindsight, after seeing how worn the black one looks, I wish I had picked the gray one to wear around the house for the switching routine rather than my favorite one, so I could save the black one for when I leave the house and want a cleaner, more pristine and less-worn look. I clean it with a fabric shaver every few days or when it starts bothering me. I left the fuzz on it for the pic so you could see what I mean. It doesn't look as bad when it's cleaned up, but if you put it side-by-side with the other ones that haven't been switched back and forth, it still looks worn. So be forewarned if you plan to use it for the same purpose - pick your least-favorite color for the constant switching!Meanwhile, since the Charge 5 is so super-easy to switch bands, it's easy enough to switch to a nicer band if I want to wear it out in public. I do that for going out to eat and doc appointments and such. But if my outing is strictly for shopping purposes, like going to Walmart, I wear the ratty band on my ankle to make every single one of those treacherous Wally World steps count!I'm not so happy with my Fitbit Charge 5 at the moment. I rate it a 2 LOL. But these elastic bands are definitely a 5!

Great Product
These bands are great. Washable, adjustable, comfortable, and exchangeable.

Comfy and nice colors - but gray and navy are too dark.
I like that it is infinitely adjustable and doesn't need to be "closed" each time I put it on like the Velcro band I used to use.I got 2 sets to get a range of colors. I liked all the colors I got except for navy and dark gray. I could hardly tell them from black. The picture shows all 3 together. The black is in the middleMy recommendation is to attach the double layer at the bottom of the face of the Fitbit, especially if you like to wear your Fitbit a bit looser. I started out the other way, but it would slip around my wrist due to gravity. The double layer towards me solved the problem.

Comfortable
Absolutely love it! It's better than wearing the plastic band in my opinion. No rubbing or leaving marks on my wrist. Adjustable and stretchy.

Very pleased with purchase! Beautiful colors and great value!
I would break out with the plastic strap that came with my Fitbit, so I ordered the fabric Velcro strap from the Fitbit company. Was very pleased at first, but as soon as the strap got wet, it would start to fall apart and the Velcro would only hold up so long (I went through 3 of these straps before looking for an alternative). I don't know what took me so long to just find a non-Fitbit brand alternative! These are fantastic and the colors are beautiful. The pictures don't do them justice. I love that they stretch and are adjustable and that you get so many for the price! Highly recommend! The shipping was super fast as well!

No rash! Good value that checks all the boxes
Let me guess, you're allergic to the silicone band included with the Fitbit Charge 5 and you get rashes? Me too! It's kind of silly that Fitbit doesn't provide a hypoallergenic band with their device, but that's a story for another time.These bands are great. The nylon at first is a little stiff, but I think that is to be expected. Over time, it gets softer. The band stays attached and the connection to the Fitbit is secure based on my testing. Nylon can trap some bacteria, so I rotate one band every week and throw the used one in the wash. I pull the washed band out before the dryer and let it air dry. The elastic has remained tight and I never notice I'm wearing the Fitbit when I'm exercising and I think that's the point of a good band. Overall, this set of bands is a good value and they check all my boxes -- hypoallergenic, comfortable, and secure.
