Fitbit Alta Accessory Band

I have found if you fasten the band like normal then take one side loose from the display and fasten it that way it is much easier to fasten. No prob at all with my band

I've had my Alta about a month now. The band fastener is indeed a pain. But...I wouldn't want it to be so loose that it could fall off if it catches on something. It's easier if you don't wear the band tight, and you really shouldn't anyway b/c the sweat from your arm will corrode the charger pins. At first I'd warm the hole area with my hair dryer but over time they've stretched a tiny bit. I put it on sitting down so I can push against my knee to stabilize it; that helps. What I love about the band is that it's so easy to remove, to either change out or wash. These bands do get dirty and need a good scrubbing from time to time. A buckle might make fastening easier but I'm not so sure I'd want a metal buckle on my wrist and it wouldn't be as attractive...so...like I said, it isn't perfect but it works. :)
