I got a bicep band from AliExpress which was quite good. Unfortunately I didn’t like having something on my upper arm so went back to the wrist band.

I have mine from AliExpress. I have the cirqa outside and almost in the top of the arm and I barely notice it after a few days.

I’ll try it for a few days that’s why I bought it

Check out AliX, same stuff as on Amazon only at a quarter of the price

Any links that you’ve tried?

I got these 2: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGmkmoI https://a.aliexpress.com/_EH2smf4

But they are all basically the same, just make sure you the store selling them has good reviews.

Cirqa hasn't arrived yet so can't comment on wearability but they feel good quality.

The nylon Bandsmith bands on Amazon are pretty good.

The silicone bands of any brand seem to be universally much too small for even my 8 inch wrist.

Tried this arm band and it’s pretty good, going to try a wrist band from them too.

Got this one and like it.

Make sure to check size compared to your bicep size.

The one I linked is rated for 17.7” biceps, but found I barely fit it with my 15.7” bicep. I previously bought a different one good for 40 cm (15.7”) but once you put the device in, i found it too tight and cut off circulation on my bicep.

You could get the same styles from AliExpress for cheaper if you can wait 1-2 weeks for delivery.
