This was definitely a production flaw. I have been trying to change this band for a better part of an hour.
Same here is fucking horrible kept falling off
yep - can't get mine back on either. Not on either side. the little thing that compresses won't compress enough to get it in the allowable space.
I lost me hour too
Gosh, this is so difficult i regretted detaching it in the first place.
Right. Right
Omg I was about to comment the same and I saw urs
It's ashamed how you want to change the band,, But the Hassel you gotta do change it,not worth it
Me too. Ugh
i'm lossing my mind i can't attch the f**** band
start to hate this watch
Oh no! Its an awesome watch - good luck!
Wait until you get it wet and it stops working. I don't like this Versa at all. In theory it's awesome, in application it's terrible.
I literally lost myself trying to change strap, fell off my hand 5x ggrh i lost my shit lol
Pamela Langley I agree
adeel a mere toooo
this is the 3rd video I watched on how to change the band and this is the first one I understood. Thank you!
Same!
Same. Thank for
I'm trying to re-install the original band. In the process I broke a nail, accidentally changed settings, and unintentionally started an exercise. I still can't get the @#$% band back on. I hate this thing! Bands on other devices are easy to switch when you feel like it. Not this one. Whose brilliant design idea was this?
LOL. I feel your pain, I didn't break a nail but chipped my nail polish and I was PISSED. The trick is don't put it on at the angle in the video. Do it so the band is going left, over the top of the screen. Hard to explain but if you do that it's so easy. Good luck.
Carey Nathan jdjeiiejwjbdhueijwje!! I’m mad!!!
Literally almost made me take the thing back today!! Unbelievably stupid for a relatively expensive fitness tracker!!
It’s a fing nightmare
are you sure you didn’t break the band...?
Thank you for the video. However this is a very difficult band to install. Takes many times to latch. Don’t really understand the logic behind its design.
It is, one part is easy, but the other end is quite tricky.
You should be appointed as the CEO of Fitbit because clearly looking at their band design they need a new CEO! Thanks for the video!
🤣😂
Someone needs to be slapped for this design.. Finally replaced mines. Time to drink more coffee ☕
😅
Thanks for posting this. What a horrible design. It was nice to see it was actually possible to do it. I used to change my bands regularly on my Charge 2, but I'm sticking with my new black nylon band FOREVER!
Hahaha! It's not too bad... Just the first couple of times. 🤣
Me too..i have owned the charge and Charge 2 and yes it was easy but not very secure because as time goes on the band stretches I guess and eventually it keeps detaching from the fitbit.
Me too, they made this almost impossible!!!!!!
Almost! HAHAHA!
Thank you for the great video. I just bought a Versa yesterday and needed the large band (which I will probably replace, anyway). I tried a few times, got frustrated, so I removed the pin to see how the band fits in the groove. Surprise! It doesn't fit if you are pushing it straight in. Looking at the underside of the Versa, you need to angle the band towards you a little bit. I put the pin back in, and I was able to get the band in immediately with almost no effort :)
Edit: wow, I'm an idiot. Now I see all of the other comments that mention the same thing lol
OMG! You're absolutely right. There were others that said how to do it prior to your post, but your description was clear and concise. After spending 30 minutes trying to force that damned band it, all I had to do was bend the bend up,. towards me (if doing upside down as in this video), and it went in almost effortlessly. Thanks!
Thank you
Your comment helped me. I watched the video on mute and didn't realize what you commented. Thanks.
I love you thank you so much I thought I broke my my Fitbit when I removed the pin came out I was like scared
can't get mine to attach
Shane Strickland Same
same i’m loosing my mind🤣🙃😩
I’m still struggling and it’s even made my nails draw blood yes I know not suppose to happen ffs,
This is a very bad design and if I’d known a stupid like that causes problems I’d gone some where else please help
It is not as simple as it looks here. I have been trying for over an hour to get it to work but no go!!!! I despise this watchband dilemma...I feel like I am going to explode with anger!!!!!!!
Yeah, it's a bit frustrating... Once you get it the first time... It'll be super easy any other time you change the bands...
using your fingers will make it a serious near to impossible task... i used a pair of tweezers and it came off in a sec. Thanks for the video!
Took 30 minutes and a broken finger nail but finally done.
Aloha! I almost broke a nail trying to do this. Lol. I'm so glad that you posted this video as it really helped me. I was able to change 2 bands. I had to use a penny on the initial try.
Vee Bee guuuuurl 😂🤷🏽♂️
Thank you!!! Got mine attached on second try after watching your video. :)
Awesome!!!
Showoff. Lol
WHAT'S THE SECRET????
Checked 3 hrs instructional videos. Yours was the best!
This thing pisses me the hell off. I took off my favorite band because it has colors on it and I was going to a fancy event so I put on a more classy solid black band - which was frustrating as hell. Then when I got home just now I was trying to put my favorite band back on and snapped the damn thing because of this stupid design. Then after a ripped nail and 20 minutes of anger I finally got the watch back on for it to basically tell me I needed to calm down
Fuck this watch.... It pissed me off so much it then told me to calm down.
Omg I am rolling.
You helped is see that this attachment design sucks and Fitbit needs to change it.
Seriously!??!! I wish I had this video 30 min ago. Got it on first try after watching this. THANK YOU for posting this!!!!
🤙🏽
Very informative! Got it on the second try thanks to your video!! We had struggled with it for about 20 mins!
Thank you so much! The video and instructions from fitbit are completely worthless. Here at least I can see what I'm supposed to try to do. Finally got it.
Awesome!
Huge thanks again I really love this channel
Thank you for your time to do this Video!!!!
Thank You so much. You were a big help!
Absolutely ridiculous. I give up
I just got a versa I'm a little afraid of changing the band but I will look at your video when I decide to do it. I will say this I've had a charge 2 and I've had an older flex, and those bands were easier to change, but the bands also popped off randomly. The Versa is almost almost a $300 watch, I rather have bands that are difficult to change than something that will easily pop off.
Here in the US, for Black Friday you can get the Versa for $150. Link: amzn.to/2Ks5wbD
Make sure you pay attention to what he says about the lever and the grove that the band has to fit in. It took me like 20 mins including watching two videos like 3 times each. I think once you change one it gets easier.
I thought I was the only one having difficulty. Thanks for showing me it is Fitbit's, not my problem.
This band is making me want to return the watch! This is ridiculous!
You make it look so simple.... took me over a half hour....☹
The video is edited. 😅😂🤫
This is the pits. Got one side on. The other side I been at this for hour already. Some Father's Day gift.
This is ridiculous. I can't believe that its this hard to get it on.
You are awesome, ty ty ty
Thanks for the video! Really helped!
👍
Brilliant video did it in seconds after watching and had just spent the hour before pulling my hair out!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Replacing the band is a massive pain in the ass.
Why do Fitbit realesse such shoddy products ? I’m a reasonably intelligent chap. This is torture. It’s just a matter of time before I lose my watch due to the appaling pins
Got it while I was listening to you explain during the video. Not sure if it was luck, or the video, but either way -- THANKS!
This is a great video but also requires manual dexterity and luck.
Thank you @asiangeeksquad
🤙🏽
THANK YOU!!!! Even though I followed the instructions, blah, blah, blah, this was a pig to do. Your video gave me a slightly different view (and instructions) that did the trick. I LOVE the Versa 2, but the band is from hell...
Thank you for the visual, it helps, but I think it's the band! I bought 3 bands, and all 3 are tricky to place, mainly the North band (opposite the one you demonstrated). The side w/the notch, can't find it's hole...I thought it was a defect, but all 3 bands? Plus, the original band is silicone, which I am allergic too! Ugh!
oh my gosh, thanks! was having so much trouble :P
This is fucked up. I've spent hours trying to do this. I'm pissing my life away. Every time I think it's finally in it pops out. Who's the fucking genius who designed this?
Thank you. So much easier with your explanation
So that didn't work. The little gizmo that compressed to remove the band would not compress enough on trying to replace the band. Not on either side. Now what?
I watched your other video and tried and tried to get the silicone band on to no avail. That said, the key to making it happen was the clue in this video to bend the strap toward you. Thanks for including that comment in this video! I was lucky I found it!
Also, the battery is not designed to show when the Fitbit gets low! There should be an ongoing box that shows where the battery life is b/c sometimes I get too busy to remember when I recharged it. Other than the battery& cumbersome change out of the strap issue, I do love it!
I used a small flat bladed screwdriver to compress the bottom pin and jammed that in last vs the end with the little lever. Easier, but still took some serious wiggling - horrible design
What a horrible attachment system! Got them off easily - been trying a half hour unsuccessfully to put them back.
may whoever designed this band be damned. ;
This band is a nightmare. I’ve watched the video and it makes it look so easy however my band when you pull the lever all the way back does not even fit into the side to allow it to reattach. Fitbit always seems to have a challenge with this bands. I’m about to return this.
I can't even get the old band off. I don't know if the pegs are just bent the wrong way but it won't pop out. Waste of money, probably get an apple watch to replace it.
This watch is getting returned. I have been trying for a couple hours now to change the band. It is very frustrating and should not be this difficult.
THANK YOU - I had almost given up on putting it back. You are a life saver
If they just said in the manual “pull down” as you said , I wouldn’t come here, thank you
I got one for my early birthday and tell this moment I still don’t know how to take it off. So tomorrow is my bday. Smh -.-
Struggled with it for about an hour, found this video and gave the watch to my wife who got the band in on a in little under 3 minutes :-) Pfew....
A tip: instead of your nails, use the opening of a closed pen! After destroying my nails i finally got it ugh!!
Thank you for this video. Worked perfectly. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much. This video did the trick. I was getting really frustrated.
It’s easy to put back in but I CAN NOT TAKE IT OUT!!! OMFG!
Thank you!! So much easier to figure out with your video then the others I watched.
Folding it in & Wiggling it around until you hear it click is the key. So much easier
Putting these bands on are the most frustrating thing I’ve done in a while.
I can't even find the place to put the first pin in. I am losing my mind lol
Pay attention to when he moves the actual band! Easy to overlook and will cause you to get angry!
Thank you.
I cannot get my magnetic strap on my Versa 2. It is impossible.
I watched at least 6 other videos but this is the one that did it for me. In fact I was shocked that it was so easy! THANK YOU!!!!
Easy peasy. 😅🤙🏽
Thank-you so much for this great video! Much appreciated :)
In my opinion the worst system for a band, hope google fix it
I’m having mad anger issues bcoz of this
Thanks for this...really helped me to change the band. I think I would have given up otherwise. Hopefully Fitbit will make band changing more user friendly in future.
Thank you, after a few attempts this worked!
Thank you! Your tip to fold band was the tip I needed. Band easily replaced after watching your video!
👍
Dieses Armband ist doch kinderkram! Probieren sie bitte mal die Bänder aus Gummi! Und das eine Loch zu finden ist echt nicht schwer...
I bit my phone and shattered the screen while doing this.
Definitely a fiddly project.....my fingernails hurt now lol
😅
Changing this band must be a CIA psyop. ;)
Awesome directions!!!! Thanks!!
The wiggle part was crucial to me. Thank you.
Found this helpful! Thanks!
so the versa 2 has the same band? no way 😑
I’ve had the versa for a couple years and only managed to successfully change the band once or twice. I was contemplating the versa 2 but that is a serious design issue and also a deal breaker.
Versa 3 uses a new band =D
It should not be this difficult, dang!
Thxs for this video , it explains alot
It literally makes no sense how hard it is to attach this band. I watched another video before this one and this one really helped ! I was damn near about to glue the band lol
😅 I kinda want to see that.. though I would use electric tape
After 2 hrs of struggle it’s done .
Am I doing something wrong? I can’t get it to move
Its so hard to do. Lol lol I finally did it, thank you
I had to watch two videos. this video was very helpful because I didn't realize the band has to slip in the grove on the fitbit once you put the first end in. Then make sure you hold on to that connection as you put the other end in then press the lever up to secure it..You can actually hear or feel a click that it is secure.
Very helpful - thank you!
Thank you! This was driving me crazy!
😂😅
Is the watch band 20 or 22 mm?
Thanks! I replaced mine with no problems.
Mine still won't come off
I want to buy this but I have terrible arthritis in my hands. I am afraid that I will not be able to change bands. Looks pretty tough to do!
The default band on the Versa is size small. They come installed on the watch, so you don't have to change, unless you want to.
My band broke after 5 only months of wear so keep that in mind, the band will not last forever and it is a *&^%$ trying to change it.
TFS worked great!
Having trouble
I can’t get the band off to change it
me neither, did you find any solutions?
lol it is so hard to get back on it should be in the olympics
😅
