LJP, nice to hear from you! Good point about getting what you pay for. No surprise I guess I'll check out silicon bands, thanks. The model/size I wanted only came in four colors and this was the only metallic one. It is "starlight", which is pretty neutral, but slightly silvery/pink. It would be a great match with silver, white gold, or rose gold but it doesn't go quite as well with yellow gold. (Almost all my jewelry is yellow gold). Maybe I'll start with a matching silicon band and see how I like that. Who knows maybe I'll expand my horizons into mixing metal colors in my jewelry! I think I have seen black ones where the owner added a metallic band or something to make it less athletic/sporty looking but can't quite remember. Of course I'm noticing all the different styles people wear now that I have one I had a couple of different Fitbits over 8 years and those bands were a much simpler choice.
cat2, maybe I'll look at the Machete ones, although I'd have to buy them somewhere other than Nordstrom.
Thanks Suz. sounds like your experience is much like LJPs. I like the idea of customizing the face edges to match the band but I'm not sure how much time I want to spend just now. Of course you can also go down the rabbit hole of looking at all the different face images that come with it. ... I'll take a look at that Machete one too, thanks.
