LitoDream Compatible with Amazfit Bip Band, Huami Amazfit Bip Bands Soft Silicone Wristband Replacement Straps for Xiaomi Huami Amazfit Bip Smartwatch(Black/Black, M/L)

I have to admit I was skeptical about this one... I LOVED the band that came with my Bip. The silicone was some of the best, most premium silicone I have seen, especially in a watch of that price point. After being unable to find an original strap from a vendor I could trust I did a lot of searching and stumbled upon this one.I had three main concerns, all of which I'm happy to say never came to pass:1. The clasp would easily release. This is kind a of a peg-board design, where the clasp is a bit of a peg and it fits through any of the holes in the band. This allows for a good degree of sizing flexibility but, very importantly, has yet to EVER come loose. And unlike the retail Bip band, because you tuck the excess/extra length of strap UNDER the outside of the strap, this watch catches a lot less on shirts (button down) than the retail Bip strap did. Very cool!2. The quality of the silicone. Let's face it, there is a lot of cheap stuff out there. My original Bip band lasted over a year, I've had non-original bands tear within a month. And this band is practically perforated, so durability was a concern. Rest assured this is strong, my kids try to pull my watch off all the time and it holds stong.3. Comfort. All those holes, which is really the addition of white silicone parts into a blue silicone band, could cause discomfort or catch things like hairs vs. a smooth, one-piece band like comes with the original Bip. Again, surprisingly, this is really comfortable and (likely due to the holes) a bit cooler (temperature wise). It dries faster after a shower and breathes easier.All in all, I'm (surprisingly) liking this band MORE than the retail band and highly recommend it.

I love this strap. Takes some getting used to on how to close - first inserting button, then put strap through hole.Only downside is the button/clasp. The silicone slot that holds it gathers all your sweat and therefore it rusts.It took 3 years to get this bad, so I am re-ordering another because I love the fit.

No instructions were included on how to install the watch band. But I figured it out pretty quickly.This band is very nice looking and quite comfortable. I have had no problems with durability but I am a little concerned about the chain maybe snapping one day. And the solid parts are a light plastic.Here is my big problem: I have a wireless charger that requires you to lay the watch flat ... not like the one that came with your watch that allows you to stand it up on edge. This band is not compatible with a horizontal charger. There are two issues. First the band is shaped like a bracelet; it's permanently a closed loop which means I have to hang my charger off the side of the table to loop the band and watch around so it can lay on the flat surface. Secondly, the plastic part of the band is curved, making it very comfortable on your wrist, but that curve raises the watch above the charging surface, making it nearly impossible to lay flat and make a connection.I do feel that it would work within the default charger that came with the watch, since that one allows it to stand vertically on edge.

EDIT:I've since returned this band, which the vendor made very easy. Based on the image, I had a different expectation as to how the band would actually clasp, so I ordered a different band, which seems to have a very similar design. In hindsight, my initial poor review of this band was probably user error. The "Awkwardness" of installation is mitigated simply by FIRST pushing the metal clasp into the desired adjustment hole BEFORE sliding the excess band length into the receiving band. I was trying to push the metal clasp into the adjustment hole while also attempting to keep the excess strap inserted to the opposing strap (which is very awkward).ORIGINAL REVIEW:This band does not install as pictured.The image depicts fastening the long band to the short band "from the outside -in"; however, the band "as-is" requires a VERY awkward set of steps to both tighten and fasten the band "from the inside out".The metal clasp should be on the long band section (without the wide hole), but the metal clasp is actually on the short band section (with the wide hole), so actually getting this band onto your wrist is extremely awkward.

Perfecto

Good product, as well as price point and quality!

Nice texture, breathes well. Only downside is the clasp has rusted a little where its next to the skin. Would buy again.

Perfect fit for my Amazfit Bip. I got it specifically because I wanted something breathable...this works great AND I love the mechanism that is used to close the band: there are no exposed band ends to get caught on things. Highly recommended!PS: Any 20 mm band will fit the Bip, so don't limit your search to only bands that come up in your search! I could find this STYLE under Bip searches, however I couldn't find this COLOR combination until I used "20 mm" in my search.
