larkim Oct 2017 9:38am, 23 Oct 2017 3,113 posts	Quote Pin larkim On the subject of wristbands, has anyone's deteriorated at all? Bought 5 of us black ones 18 months ago, but just one of them (youngest boy) has started to deteriorate such that the bars are starting to merge. Was still scannable on Saturday, but it definitely is looking worse for wear. They only get worn on parkrunday and they've only done about 15 runs in them, so can't quite fathom out what has gone awry with this one. I'll contact the wristband company of course, just curious if anyone else had had a similar issue? (I've had one for longer and its still going strong).

Eynsham Red Oct 2017 10:15am, 23 Oct 2017 2,083 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red Larkim, I’ve had my wristband for about twenty months and it’s still in good condition. I’ve worn it at about forty parkruns plus quite a few other solo training runs. They aren’t cheap considering what they are so I think that you’re right to contact the manufacturers.
