You don't need any tools to change a Fitbit band, just a fingernail. On the underside, at each end where the band meets the case, there's a small flat button or latch. Press it and that end of the band slides out.
Swapping the band
- Turn the tracker over so the sensors face up.
- Press the flat button at the base of the band with a fingernail or fingertip, then slide that end out.
- Only once that side is completely free, move on to the other one.
- Push the new band into the slot until it clicks into place.
One side at a time is really the whole trick. Tugging at both ends while neither latch is properly released or seated just puts strain on the case.
If the band won't budge
A stuck band rarely needs more force. Press the button all the way down rather than pulling on the strap, and make sure you're actually on the button and not just beside it. Steady pressure works better than a sharp push. Fitbit's own guidance says the same thing: release the band with a fingernail rather than prising it off. That way the latch and the case stay undamaged.
Which bands fit which Fitbit
Fitbit doesn't design a new band mount for every model. It shares one across each family, so Charge 5 and Charge 6 take the same bands. Versa 3, Versa 4, Sense and Sense 2 share a second system, and Inspire 2, Inspire 3 and Ace 3 a third, smaller one. Bands don't cross between families, even when a Versa band looks about as wide as a Charge band at first glance.
For the Versa 3, Versa 4, Sense and Sense 2 there are also 20 mm metal adapters, which let you fit a standard watch strap of that width.
Material and size
Most replacement bands are silicone or TPU. They cope well with sweat and are quick to clean; a damp cloth is usually enough. Genuine leather looks smarter, and because it's a natural material the shade can vary slightly from one strap to the next. The fabric scrunchie is more of a fashion piece: it has no clasp and slips on like a hair tie.
For sizing, check the product description rather than going by the model name. Our Charge and Inspire bands adjust from 14 to 22 cm and close with a watch clasp. The scrunchie has a fixed inner size of 13 to 16 cm, though it does stretch. If your wrist is particularly slim or broad, it's worth checking before you order.
