Edge break

[BRANDNEWME]

Anyone have the edge break so the band won't stay connected anymore? If so, did you find a way to fix it?

@BRANDNEWME I'm sorry your Fitbit broke. On Amazon there are bands like this that work when a regular band can no longer be attached. There are various styles available, if you don't care for the one I linked. Just read the descriptions and reviews closely to be sure of what you're buying.

Hi, BRANDNEWME,

Yup.  My third or maybe 4th Inspire 2 just broke in this way.

A possible user fix: other threads say to choose a wristband and superglue it permanently in place.  I might try that next time. 
OR alternative band recommended by another user: https://www.amazon.com/Chofit-Protective-Compatible-Fitbit-Inspire/dp/B09PDL6BVL 

Having had my first one break soon as it was out of warranty, I got the insurance on my next ($19/2 years at that time) and sure enough, it broke before the end of the insurance term and for a $15 deductible I could get a new one. 

I cannot imagine how Fitbit continues to sell this device that SO consistently breaks. A very poor design or maybe a very poor plastic molding process. Maybe both. 

I looked at the trackers that seem to have metal housings.  But the ones I saw have a small clip sort of thing to retain the band that looks to me as if it would be liable to break.  

Really like the product when it's not broken.
