I would suggest you get both. The figure eight clasp has a habit of loosening over a period of time. Whilst yes, it’s an easy fix, unless you know what you’re doing then you’re going to need to take it back to the jeweller every time it loosens.
My bracelet is back! I was able to put it on by myself. I was told to just pinch it to close with the sides of my thumb and index finger. The tongue of the box clasp looks shorter and thicker now, not long and thin like previously. The dangling safety chain doesn’t bother me
Anyone have any tricks to be able to put tennis bracelets on their own?
Difficult jewellery where I can’t put it on my own is a pet peeve of mine especially
1. Push back earrings, I can take off on my own but can’t put back on
2. Tennis bracelet, can’t take off or put on my own without some sort of help

For bracelets that are tricky to put on, I use this thing:
Same.
I rarely have problems with putting jewelry on.
Only taking them off. In jewelry stores. 😂 So I try never even try anything unless I’m certain I might buy it.
I would say it’s a classic tennis bracelet style clasp, never seen these clasps on other bracelets. I have two different tennis bracelets both I struggle with, other bracelets I’m ok with
I have a rule about bangle bracelets, which I adore. If they go over my hand and onto my wrist, then they are leaving with me. I try my best NOT to try them on, but if I do, and they fit, then they are mine. That's my rule. (I don't have a really large wrist or hand, but the smaller bangles don't work for me so I take it as an omen if they fit.) It cost me a LOT on my last trip because I couldn't stay out of my favorite jewelry store there.
I have several bracelets with this style of clasp. What I do is rest/balance the “outside” of the clasp on the underside of my wrist facing away from my body, carefully wrap the bracelet around my wrist (goes towards me first), rest my wrist against my waist and then essentially “stab” towards myself with the inside until it clicks in place. Once I get the two pieces together, I will sometimes “pinch” my thumb and forefinger around the clasp to get it to click, as well.
