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.

I got the older production and it did not. But i had no problem with the band coming loose at all. I am using fitbit charge now.

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.

Hey Victoria: My son broke his band too probably by tugging too hard when taking the watch off. I'm gonna write to the company now to see if replacement bands are available. Please post if you found another band. Thanks, John

I wouldn't buy one at all. They break quickly, and while they will send you a replacement, after the third one, when you are tired of going through that over and over, they won't give you a refund. You are better off with a fitbit or other product. If you insist on buying this, go for the bigger size of you are in between.

Normally I would click "i dont know" as I do nit know if there is a factory replacement but... Try an office quality rubberband and double it over (perhaps 2x) to make it work. I broke a band on a shoot amd had to do this. Worked great.

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.

I'm not aware of Fitbit having made any changes to the wristband. What I can tell you is that is silicone softens up after a couple of weeks and is no longer a problem for me.

I am curious, did you call FitBit customer service? Kayla is right, they are amazing! I would like to know that this FitBit found its owner. :-)

Mine kept failing and I've found if I put a bit of water on the HR monitor before I put it on it pairs up better. Don't soak it, just run your finger under water and then wipe it on the sensor parts of the HR monitor.

I have exactly the same problem. I put two bands on at a time--one next to the other. That helps but doesn't completely solve the problem.

I cannot answer the question because the band (along with my Fitbit) fell off my wrist the first day I had it in this replacement band. I lost both the band and the Fitbit. I would not recommend buying these replacement bands. When you buy your fitbit, you will get both size bands (at least that's what came with mine) and then you can determine which size band works best for you. I used the small band.

Yes I have had this problem, I had these beats for about a year when I dropped them on a hard floor. The headband snapped.

Have you contacted the Fitbit company directly. They are very helpful and may be able to help you out with problem.

I never had any problem with this product maybe the band is messed up and you need to buy a new band

Sometimes I take mine off to shower and sometimes not, yes water can get into these AND the Fitbit bands. Don't delude yourself into thinking the 'brand bands' do not have this issue also because they do. The bands are not waterproof, nor resistant. You have to care for your tracker. The trackers are waterproof, submerged in water up to 10 meters of depth. Thereafter no. If I notice water in mine, I take the tracker out, dry it well and then smoosh tissue up into both chambers to absorb excess water. Then I take a Qtip to both ends to make sure I have all of the water out. I've had mine for four months, LOVE my Fitbit and this works for me.

I actually didn't buy the bands. I bought the package of little metal clasps by WoCase, for the wristbands. I can tell you that those clasps work just fine with the Fitbit bands. I like the many colors. I'd love to order the colored bands, but the colors I want are only offered in size Large. I need the Small.
