Changing bands on Versa

[disneydebc]

I like to change bands and find that I am wrecking my nails with the pins.  Is there a tool that would be helpful in doing this?

I liked that the Blaze had a frame so I didn’t need to bother with the pins

Nothing specific. Find something that you can substitute your nails for if it’s causing you problems.

[disneydebc]

I have tried that and it is not working 

This is the only flaw with the Versa, in my opinion

I agree with you I wear acrylic nails and this is extremely hard and frustrating to change the band when I want to go work out because I can't move the pin right

[disneydebc]

I agree. Changed my band one time only and afraid to try again. I ordered 4 different bands so I could change them up depending on what I wear. I did that with my blaze and loved that feature. I just wish there was a tool of some kind that would make it easier. 

To me, this is the biggest flaw of my Versa

I'd like to see @Fitbit respond to this. This is one of the hardest things to do to this watch. Had to order wristbands from Amazon that have the frame so I don't break my nails.

[disneydebc]

I did not see any frames for the Versa. 

I will have to check Amazon again.

Fitbit needs to add a frame to the Versa, like the Blaze

[Tmarie80]

What's a frame?

[disneydebc]

It just fits around the face of the watch.

For my Blaze I bought the bands with a frame & just popped out the face. So simple to change bands then

Oh I see... I bought a silicone case to go around the outside of the Versa
but it didn't come with bands on it. I bought it to protect it but I didn't
like the bulk and it made it look ugly

[disneydebc]

I bought some of the silicone cases also, but there again have not used since it required removing the bands

I use a cellphone sim removal tool to change band on my Versa. 

[disneydebc]

Where can I buy one of these?

What does it look like (can you send me a picture?)

[Tmarie80]

Well I was able to change my bands easier today I just had to give some
practice I guess

[disneydebc]

That’s great to hear

[disneydebc]

Where can I get one?

[disneydebc]

That is great. I changed mine on Monday.

Sat down when I was done with everything so I didn’t feel rushed. Got it done in about 5 mins.  I’m just going to have to realize I need more time to do the change. Still just wish it was easier

I find it takes just a few seconds for each band.  I change my bands a couple times per day.  Once I had the technique I have enjoyed how easy it is to change the bands so have more of them than I did for the Blaze.  I line it up twisted to the almost 90 degree angle with the first end in the bottom, push down the pin, slide in, let go and jiggle if needed to make sure the pin catches on the top so it is locked in.

Thanks, I guess I just need to practice more
