Why do my Fitbit bands keep breaking?

I can only say that my wife is having the same problem, with one original band and two replacement bands (from this supplier) broken so far. To me this would suggest that it is a poor quality design since two different suppliers can't make a band that will last even with light duty usage.

Wearing them too tight? I purchased this replacement for the color. All of my bands have yet to break and I've had my Fitbit over a year +. I don't shower with mine and only get it wet to clean it. Being that's it rubbery, I doubt water plays a part, however.

I don't really know, but a coworker of mine had that problem. He thinks it was because after his shower he would shake it from an end to get water drops off. I haven't had any problem with mine and I have worn it pretty much constantly for 8 months now.

The split in the wristband was due to not properly inserting the chip. I contacted Fitbit, and the customer service was excellent! I received a replacement wristband relatively quick!

I'm not sure. I would think that if you did, that over time the bands would eventually dry out and break. They are definitely worth buying. Maybe you can purchase 2 sets and try one in water. Good luck!

My wife and I own 3 pairs between us and use them regularly during exercise. We've never had a problem with them moving on the band yet. We've owned them for many months.

They seem to break easier than other bands I have bought but not terribly worse

Well, I only used them one time and have not got a chance to use them again. My feeling is that because they are very much like those "support a cause" bands that everyone wears, and the way they work is by pressure on your wrist not any mechanics, they should last for a long time, unless you are wearing them constantly!!!!!

Hey Martha...I use them everyday w multiple clients and they have kept up their tension thus far. I've purchased bands in the past and these so far have been the best I've worked with. Hope this helps

Have you tried to post in the fitbit forum? On their website, it has a forum where you could post. Not sure if you have to sin up or not to post. I bet Amy would be happy to have it back.

I have not seen replacement bands available, however I would contact Beachbody directly and they may send you a replacement band. I am on week 10 of P90x3 and mine is as good as new.

They have alleviated this as mine came with the vivokeeper. I have not had any issues with thr band popping off. I got mine in kate October 2014

Nope, it sure can't. It doesn't have much of the functionality of the FitBit either. This is just a barebones pedometer with flimsy screen and ability to upload step data. No pause.

Mine broke after about a month. started with blue.. it broke went to red and it broke (green is too light for me)I purchased the 4 band set from home complete. They feel thicker and as of yet they haven't broke.

I believe they would last until the elasticity in the band becomes too weak to apply enough pressure. I have not had any wear out yet.

You will have to be the judge of that. My fist band lasted 12 hours and the replacement they sent me showed up broken.

Mine did the same thing and finally one broke. I wound up tossing it after a couple of months. :(

Are you sure you used the right form? I've had one of my Ones malfunction and another became lost and both times customer service helped me within 24 hours. When I didn't respond within a day, they followed up with an additional email asking how they could help. I'd try filling out a form again and making sure your email is right. Fitbit's customer service is by far the best I've dealt with.

Yes. There is nothing about the wristbands that breaks down, so they can last a long time - at least as long as the elastic wristband lasts.
