The wristband fits well around my arm and carries the Runner safely. It even allows charging without taking the Runner out of wristband. It is not quite as comfy and requires a bit more fiddling while putting it on. The excess part of the band doesn't just click on like with the original. Overall a good replacement, though. I like the color. Alas, Horlogeband only gives you a discount when you order two bands of the same color. But you do like the variety, don't you?
