Charge 5 too wide for wrist

[dvnprinter]

Replaced my Charge 3, which packed up after 18 months, with this model and the design is excessively wide and bulky, cannot not fit around my wrist properly and is uncomfortable to wear.  Returning it.  Which tracker would be a good replacement?

I also find the Charge 5 very bulky and much prefer to wear a slimmer, smaller Fitbit.  I have small wrists and would recommend the Inspire 3.  It has most of the features of the Charge 5 (but no Fitbit Pay or built in GPS chip).

My sister and my daughter use the Luxe, which is the smallest Fitbit of all (though there isn’t much difference in size between the Luxe and Inspire 3)

If you go to the Fitbit store you can compare trackers and see which one would suit you best.  Let us know which you choose!

Welcome to the Fitbit community, @dvnprinter!
I tend to believe that adding a band with a different attachment will solve your issue wearing your Charge 5 as those bands might sit more narrow to your wrist. I'd suggest trying one of these:

Charge 5 Premium Horween® Leather Bands

Thanks for your reply.  That could be a solution although I am also finding the bulk of the tracker itself, both the width and underneath, makes it hard to wear.

Thanks, that's very useful.

@dvnprinter I agree with you.  The width and depth of tracker itself for those of us with slim wrists is the issue and no change of band will alter that!

You're welcome, glad I could help you, @dvnprinter.
