Band recommendations for Charge 6?

[sarja80]

Looking for something more comfortable than the standard rubber one. Any recommendations?

Good question, I'm interested in this too; there's always a tradeoff. Fabric and leather can feel better while walking around, but when they get wet from swimming or sweat, will take a long time to dry, which is irritating and uncomfortable. BestBuy has a 'perforated silicone' strap that might be good but I want to go to the store and check it out before buying.

Hello & welcome @sarja80 

In case you didn't know, Charge 5 wristbands will work with the Charge 6 since they both have the same latching mechanism. 

Personally, I prefer a metal mesh band with a magnetic clasp. These type of bands can be easily adjusted and come in many colors. The disadvantage of these bands is the magnetic clasp. The magnet will sometimes attach to metallic objects like tableware. Although it can be a bit of a nuisance at times, it's not a big issue for me. 

There are a lot of 3rd party options available that are less expensive than the ones in the Fitbit store. As long as there isn't a problem with the latching mechanism on your Charge 6, you should be fine using them.

I'm a fan Fitbit's Hook & Loop bands. They feel and look good on CH5/6.

... and, they are 25% off through November 29. I got one a few years ago for my CH5 and it was my primary strap until the watch died. Now I'm using it on my CH6. The large strap I bought last time was a bit too large, so I'm getting the small in the other color now that it is on sale again.
