Just an fyi, I just changed the strap on my charge 3 after years of continuous wear. The new band wouldn’t adhere to the device and I came to the realization of how disgusting I am. Sweat, sunblock, dirt, and who knows what else was making it impossible to install. Take your devices off and clean them once in a while to not have the same gross realization I had lol. Lesson learned

Hello @koffi88 and welcome to the Community.  Thank you for sharing your experience and insight.  There is one thing I want to add.  Things like sunblock can weaken the seals on a Fitbit.  Fitbit's Wear and Care recommendations specifically say that you should avoid direct contact with sunscreens and insect repellants.
