Charge 5 wristband smells

[kristinsolovy]

All right everybody I had an inspire 3 that I bought new and I never had an issue with it. Smelling and then I bought a remanufactured charge 5 and no matter what I do, it smells. I've cleaned it with alcohol. I've cleaned it with peroxide. I've showered with it. No matter what I do. It has a constant throw up smell to it. I'm starting to think that maybe my remanufactured watch was taken off of a dead body and sold to me. Does anybody have this problem? I don't think it's the band. I think it's the watch itself 🤣

I've never heard of this happening to anyone else.

What band are you using?  I suspect it's the band as It's more prone to absorbing odors,  The pebble is solid with no surfaces to absorb odors.

I would try removing the band and keeping the band and device apart to see if you can isolate the smell.
