Absolutely brilliant! My Fitbit Charge 1 band has been coming part for a few weeks and finally broke all the way just like yours did. It was driving me crazy to think of spending $150 to buy a new Fitbit to replace a device that works perfectly. I just needed to find a way to strap it to my wrist -- your $2 hack is awesome and saved me a bunch of money.... Thank you!

This is awesome! I have 3 Fitbit Charges laying around. I got tired of going through the whole process because the band kept peeling off so I quit telling them about it 😑😡 This gives me hope that I'll get my Fitbit back, lol. I'm glad I found this! Thanks for sharing 😄

I like this "This helps me justify to my wife spending time on these videos. Thank you! :)" Thanks for sharing the video.
@leneepooh
You, Sir, are a genius! Thank you thank you thank you!
@tonicoolio
Yes!!! Thank you so much for this, I'm in the same situation and you have just saved me a lot of money and time. Appreciate it!

This worked great! I'd recommend the sleeve, as I was not confident the generic Vivofit band alone would hold the Fitbit, and the different manufacturers on eBay may not have the exact same product dimensions. One person I met said my Fitbit looked really cool. I question his taste, but I had not told him it was a repair job. Nevertheless, thanks for the video, Gabe!
@fineweaver
It worked perfectly! I actually like my new band better than the original. Thank you!
@RITH5150

@TheTraperRaper
best solution is not to buy fitbit again
@debbiebaker8833
I need to change the band on my fitbit charge so I will do this, thank you, but I was wondering if there was a buckle fastener I could use instead. I can't see any vivofit buckle fastners. Thank you
@ThePhaedrus83
Does the sleeve interfere with heart rate sensor?

Hey Gabe. I had the same problem with my Fitbit Charge HR and I made a shell to go around the Fitbit. You can then attach any watch strap you like to the shell. You can check it out here https://goo.gl/9JC5dI (it comes in many colors). I bought a few of these "broken" Fitbits of craigslist for $20 a pop and put them in these shells and now everyone in my family has a Fitbit.
@ThiNguyen-oh2od
Can you share the link to the sleeves you used
@Carman1744
My wristband on my Fitbit charge is coming apart but my Fitbit is way out of warranty and I need a new replacement band.
@lifecloud2
Looks like the review for the Garmin Vivofit band says the clasp doesn't fit snugly. Is this your experience too? Does it fasten OK?
@bradbross741
Do you think you have to have the sleeve too, or will it stay on if it is just the vivo fit band?
@scottykitty5
My band is just coming apart a little on the side do you think the sleeve will help I saw them on eBay
