Does the fitbit wristband have any metal touching the skin? I am very allergic to metal on my skin.

Just the two little knobs that fit into the perforations to keep fasten it. However, you can order plastic replacements.

Yes, there are two small pieces of metal that touch the skin on the inside of the wrist. If it helps, my daughter also has a problem with metal, and she just paints the metal with fingernail polish and doesn't feel the effects. The metal pieces are so small, (and don't show) that it would be easy to paint over it with no problem. Hope this helps!

The clasp is metal. It is a metal piece with 2 prongs that go into the strap slots. Those 2 prongs will touch the skin.

if any it would be very minute. the "clip" has two prongs that come through the clasp, I can't be 100% sure they don't touch your skin.

Yes, there is a metal piece that is the closure of the band and it does touch the inside of your wrist.

The material feels the same as far as I can tell. If you put your arm under water with either this or the original Fitbit brand you'll get a little water in the opening where the Fitbit goes. But the Fitbit is safe to about 30 feet so I wouldn't be concerned unless you are deep sea diving. (Or throwing it off a bridge.) I never take mine off when showering or bathing. The original ones, that is - I just got this new one.

I am having difficulty with mine as well. I took the little snap out of band several times and it is just now starting to hold. I not real impressed Fitbit.

Hi. I don think that he fitbit one will fit the wristband. Looking on the website, the two models look very different sizes

Does not say on box. Assume some sort of surgical steel. Mostly nickel free as I did not have difficulty wearing pieces for several hours and have significant reactions generally.

Wrist band are made of soft plastic....active ingredients are Geraniol Oil 15%..Lemongrass Oil 5%..Citonella Oil 2%...When combined together these chemicals give off a scent that is offensive to Mosquitos...I wear these wrist bands while on the golf course...they are very effective at repelling Mosquitos.. Can also be worn one on your ankle and one on your wrist...the ankle band effective Mosquito repelling tool as well..

I don't know - I think just Fitbit flex - I have a friend with a fit one and she wears hers on a lanyard.

My purchase included 2 sizes, one for smaller wrists and one for larger wrists. I use the larger one and its got a number of holes to line up with the pins that hold it in place. The biggest problem is getting the pins through the holes. I've resorted to having my wife help me as it's very difficult to put on. I'd recommend looking at a different brand like the jawbone (I think that's the name). A friend has it and has no problem getting it on or keeping it on. Bottom line, the fitbit flex wrist band is a terrible design.

No. That's not normal. I'd contact the Fitbit help desk who are really helpful and will help you sort it out.

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. :-)

Hi Edward - The Flex tracker itself isn't included in the wristband accessory pack. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to post!

It is ONLY replacements for the little plastic clasp. My friend & I each got a fitbit flex. i can wear the smaller band & she wears the larger band. I got these clasps so I don't have to switch the clasp out every time I change band color. The clasps are very nice. Nicer than the original one.

It is just the smell of Natural Latex, which is what our bands are made of. It would be the same with any bands, even worse with ones made out of dry rubber compounds out of China. Usually this will wear off after a few weeks. If it is a problem, I would recommend using a set of workout gloves.

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.

The band is plastic, not ventilated. BUt, I live in Puerto Rico and wear it when I walk, it never feels hot. It does have 'pins', but the band is one of those that goes all the way up to the face of the watch. so, yes, it does LOOK like you can change it, but you may have to order a special band that fits it. The plastic has remained soft and has not gotten brittle or hard. I use it mostly for the heart monitor when I am walking, and have been happy with it. For the money, it works just fine. Good luck, hope I answered your question.

I phoned Timex and it's all waterproof (unless you press any buttons) but I forgot to ask them about chlorine effect. They did say the heart rate signal can't transmit to the watch while under water.When I wear it all day, I usually feel like my ribs got bruised, and I have it on it's loosest setting. I even took off the elastic, and just but the stiff part on my with sports tape (and it transmitted), but I still got that feeling. But I sit maybe 80% of the time I wear it so maybe that's a factor for the ribs pressing against something hard.

No idea. This was my first anti static wrist band, so can't compare the two.
