Ionic orriginal band/strap not available anywhere?

[SunsetRunner]

It seems that with discontinuing the Ionic the original straps are not available anywhere anymore -  and I have to say no 3rd party band has been as comfortable as the original ones.
- Does anyone know if a grey L/G is available anywhere?

- Would have been nice if the app had given a waring the watch would be discontinued...

It seems a pity to abondon a watch that works well due to comfortable, original bands not being available anymore. I thought manufacturers are obliged to keep spare parts in stock, or is that only EU?

@SunsetRunner   I did a brief, and I mean very brief, search on your spare parts topic.  There is a law that applies to car spare parts after production ends.  But nothing that I can find about other items.  I don't think Fitbit is required to keep replacement bands in stock after a model is discontinued.  The US Fitbit store has the sport and leather models, but only in the small size.

I'm sorry, but the third-party vendors seem to be your only option.  There are many from which to choose.  Try another vendor.

Thanks for thinking (and acting) along, Laurie!
