Hi, my beloved One has just died, and I am looking for a replacement. I don't do wristbands. Has anyone found a third-party clip for the Charge 3 (or 2)?
I've only found this little pouch, which still looks quite bulky. I'd really like a silicone one like the One had, or something similar. https://www.amazon.co.uk/holder-fitbit-fitness-tracker-wristband/dp/B01MA1WNOU
**I know the HR won't work, but I don't plan to use that anyway. I'm also aware that the step count may be different, although from reading the forums it sounds like it's more accurate anywhere but the wrist, whatever the moderators may say.**
Thanks!

I completely concur with your sentiments. I bought a fitbit Ultra originally, and then upgraded to a One and have LOVED it. I saw that they were discontinuing it a couple yrs ago and bought an extra "just in case." I just now had to finally break out the extra as I lost my One on a trip. My husband bought be the Charge 3 because it is the only other option that counts floors - but I can't wear a write device for numerous reasons. I have plead with Fitbit for over 2 years to create a clip for their newer devices and it falls on deaf ears. They recommend devices that are a step back in functionality. WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR THEM TO JUST CREATE A CLIP FOR A DEVICE THAT COUNTS FLOORS??? I don't really care about HR most of the time. Just create a clip with the notice that it will not accurately work for HR.

THANK YOU for letting us know where to get a clip for the Charge3! Too bad Fitbit users have to go to Garmin to get a clip. Fitbit does not care about their users. Sad.

THANK YOU! I will order one today. Too bad Fitbit does not respond to our requests for a clip for the Charge3. I understand that they feel a clip is not accurate with the HR feature -- but I don't really care about that as much as I care about tracking # of Floors. Why not add the floor feature to a device that does NOT monitor HR (like the ONE!!). Right now, we have NO OPTION for a floor tracker that comes with a clip. Very frustrating.

I don't understand how MarreFitbit's response is the "Best Answer" or how the thread is considered "Solved." This response does anything but answer or resolve the issue. It suggests people buy another device (Zip) which does not have the features of the FitBitOne or the Charge3. The Users are clearly demanding that they have some means to wear the device that they have already spent money on (which delivers the information they want/need) clipped to their body rather than on their wrist. This cannot possibly be a difficult thing to achieve. Instead of actually helping us you are forcing us to look for ways to "Jerry-Rig" the device we have. STOP telling us to purchas a Zip which has essentially no features compared to the One or Charge3! Please provide an actual solution!

I would love it if they found a clip for the charge 3. But if you say that they listen to what we say then why have they not bought back the Fitbit one? Most people were very happy with this me included and my husband and they still have not bought it back regardless of the many many complaints.

Hi, I'm a newbie to Fitbit (relatively). So the item posted on link will fit the charge 3?

No I have not found that the ones mentioned in previous responses fits the Charge 3 well. Someone had suggested the clip for a different brand tracker (I am not posting the name because my last post was removed for mentioning a competitor in the context of FitBit doing a horrible job of meeting the needs of customers) but that one was not a great fit when I purchased it and had to return it. I have seen people post stuff on E T S Y for the Charge 3 to clip (with a snap button) to a bra strap and that is the closest to a clip that I was able to find.

Thankyou, one more question.. is it fairly easy to swap between the clip and the strap if wanted? I work in healthcare so can't wear on wrist at work but can at home so do like to swap between the two with my inspire 🙂

😊Where did you get the clip from please contact me personally on my email Barbara.flaherty@hotmail.co.uk so that I can get one. My Fitbit one keeps losing charge after a day and if I put the watch base in my bra I find that the edges tear at the fabric. I'm also in healthcare so as you know I can't wear my titbit 3 on my wrist when I'm working. Thank you for your help 😊

I finally bought the clip mentioned. When they say it's a tight fit, they are not kidding. It's so tight, I didnt think it was going to fit. But I like it so much better on my waistband rather than my wrist.

Thank you for posting this question. I have been wondering the same thing.
It's sad to see the dates on this thread, and know that Fitbit/now Google doesn't seem to be taking this concern seriously.
To those of you who provided info about third party options, thank you. I was going to make my own, but may purchase instead, based on your feedback. It's much appreciated it.
