There are lots of threads on band #1 breaking on them. It could seem very lopsided and give the impression that the band #1 is a bad product. To provide a little balance....how many people still have band #1 going strong and how long have you had it?
I had mine for 5 months and aside from light scratches on the screen and the paint peeling off the batteries, it has been very good for me. Battery life is still great and it works well. I am rough with my things and in the 1st month I hit my arm against the car carrying groceries. The clasp hooks bent. I took some pliers and straightened it out and it was good as new.
My plan is to use it until it falls apart and buy the band #3 when it is on clearance to make room for band #4 (maybe fall 2017 if it can last 18 months)
