Since this is Pengaz: Does this band fit the exact same as the Fitbit band? Water proof?

Yes, it is waterproof. I've used it for a week, showering every day, washing dishes,etc. and it does appear to be waterproof.

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.

Looks genuine. I had the same type of screen and bands. Great tracker but not as water resistant as it said. That was kind of a bummer.

No, not for Fitbit one. The Fitbit one clamps on to you. This is for the Fitbit Flex which is inserted into this band.

As far as the watch being waterproof...Timex says it is 50- meter water resistance...As far as the band they give you a 800 number in case you need a replacement....Hope this helps

You can use any "Ant" band from any brand. Like Garmin for example. It's compatible with your watch.

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.

Thanks everyone for all your input. I was about to purchase the BB but am now decided on the GWF. But does anyone know if this is waterproof and can be worn while swimming?

My orange band broke only after wearing it 5 times. It broke where the plastic and rubber meet. I only use the colored bands occasionally. Have had no problems with wearing the black band and or inserting the tracker. I have had my Fitbit for 6 months.

take watch with you to match. Check Walmart, they will put in on. Also check local jewelry stores. They have replaced most of my timex watch bands and also install batteries in a way that keeps the watch waterproof. If all else fails, sent it back to timex to be fixed. Katie

This is straight from Jawbone's website: "Your band is rain, splash, sweat, and shower-resistant, but we recommend taking it off before swimming." However, you could still time your swimming with the band and then enter the date about the activity and exertion level.

I use it while I am running, with the included wristband. It gets a little wet from sweat, but I am careful to take it off quickly after I am done. I have been using it like this since November 2014, with no problems. YMMV

I sent mine through the wash once and it still works great. Fitbit website suggested soaking it in rice for 24 hours, which I did but I think it would have worked with out that.

Hi Penny. Till now, the swimming pool usage has had no problems at all. I'm not a pro swimmer, (only 2.500 mt) 3 times a month, but I do lots of running and a sweat allot. I did check the CNET Fitbit Flex review and the Engadget "hands-on at Fitbit Flex" review before adding the Flex as a personal monitor. Give it a view if you can.

I have not had to buy another band as yet, but looking at the fitting, it appears that a generic one will work. The band does not appear to be specific to the watch. Any jeweler or watch repairer should be able to supply a band to fit it.

Paul, I did not keep the bracelet because it was very heavy to wear. When I returned I let them know why. I don't know if they have a waterproof version. It seemed like a good idea but then all your info is at anyone's fingertips and I did not feel comfortable with that. Good luck.

I didn't know there were variations of the fit bit. I've had mine for about a year or more so I'm going to say yes. And, i love the different color bands and the matching color closures. I think you will too.

I have had my jawbone in my pocket all day and it has kept the same steps as my fitbit. So I guess you can wear it somewhere other then your wrist.
