Smaller band for ace 2

[Mstenquist]

Hey,

wondering if anyone has found a smaller watch band to go with the ace 2. My little guy is on the smaller side of 6 yrs old, but he likes his watch to be right on his wrist he doesn’t want it to move around at all, and we haven’t been able to get him to wear his ace 2 because he can’t get the fit he wants. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi, @Mstenquist, I feel for you and your little boy!  I have to say that this is an issue some  of us grown ups with very small wrists have had with adult Fitbit products... They are made for average small and average large.  If you are a very small, or very large, adult, it is difficult to find a good fit.

Unfortunately, a much more common complaint than yours on these pages is that the band is too small, so I have to say I think it is unlikely that Fitbit will be introducing an extra small kids band in the near future.  

I guess my only recommendation (besides urging your little guy to grow!) would be maybe making an extra hole in the band?  If you do this, you should be aware that it could invalidate your warranty, so do make sure it is all working well before altering the band at all.  Alternatively, there may be some 3rd party bands available (check Amazon) - you could order one of those, if available, and tuck your Fitbit band away unaltered to keep in case you need to make a warranty claim.  

Sorry!  This is not an ideal solution - there probably isn’t one - but I hope it may help in the short term.  And I didn’t want to leave your question totally unanswered.

Good luck, and do let us know if you come up with a solution yourself.
