Need a more breathable band

[ioioio]

I can't get used to the standard Charge 6 band. It isn't breathable, it irritates my skin, so I keep moving it from one wrist to another, and take it off at night. Perhaps this is because my wrists are small.

Looks like there is a good selection of replacement bands, but which one should I chose?

You need to go onto a site like eBay (although Fitbit has them as well, but eBay is much cheaper).  and search for Charge 6 bands (you can even use that search term).  I've had the most luck with the mesh bands, but they have other bands made of other types of materials on there too.

I've seen a lot of bands on Amazon, which is what I'd prefer. I just don't want to try them all and was looking for a good one to start with.

Hi @ioioio 

I got a metal mesh band with a magnetic clasp from Amazon for my Charge 5. The metal mesh is breathable as well as very adjustable. Like you, I have a smaller wrist. The main drawback is the magnetic clasp which can attach to items like tableware. For me though, it's a small inconvenience to have a nicer looking & more comfortable band. The band was also very reasonably priced - under $20. I'd only be careful if you have any reactions to certain metals.

You might want to try a velcro type band for everyday/workout use as those will also be breathable and shouldn't cause irritation or allergic reaction.
