Is it me or are others that have now started to receive their Charge 5 not happy with the watch band design. For me (I wear a large) there is so much strap to try to tuck away I do not think I can set aside the 10 minutes of messing around with it daily that it seems it will take.
I am pretty sure I am doing this correctly, heck I have owned like 10+ Fitbit devices since day one with warranty units and replacements and new units and destroyed units, you would think i could use a watch band by now. Then to go to the site and see a new "Sport" band is almost 50 bucks with shipment really makes me rethink my use of Fitbit.
The second issues with the band so far even after I think it is fully secure I have had the retention clasp just pop open several times. I would think this in the latest gen would at least work as well as the previous gen but it seems to just pop open and to think that can happen and lose a almost 200 dollar device seems to be a concern we all should now have.
I ordered a sport band and not with over 200 dollars invested will hope in a few days that it is actually wearable.
I guess buyer beware - Hoping to hear feedback from other that might point me in the direction that my unit is not like all others.

I’ve got the band that came with my Charge 5 and a hook and loop band, also from Fitbit. Like them both. Only thing worrisome to me is getting the ends of the hook and loop band out of the ends of the pebble. Not easy!
