Fitbit versa 2 special edition bands

[smeckles]

I am hoping to get the Fitbit versa 2 special edition soon, but I have one question before I buy it. is the woven band scratchy or itchy in any way? because I have sensitive skin and a lot of fabrics that are scratchy just don't work with me. so, has anyone had problems with the woven band for the versa 2 special edition?

I've been using the special edition band since I got the Versa 2 and have had no problems so far. It's a strange material and right that they call it "woven" rather than "fabric". It's made from polyester and feels half way between plastic and cloth. As such it isn't scratchy and doesn't have any loose fibres that may cause you problems.

Note that if you do get the Special Edition it does come with a standard elastomer band as well as the woven one and there are loads of bands available on the likes of Amazon that are much cheaper than the Fitbit official bands so it should be possible to find something that works for you.

I wore the special addition band for a day.  I am 73 so maybe it's just my skin but the edges rubbed on my wrist.  I purchased a silicone band and wore it all night with no problems.  I wish I had not spent the extra money for the woven band.

I have been wearing the special addition bracelet and don't find it itchy at all.

That is nice to hear. I don’t fins it itchy either. I find it a bit hard
around the edges so it is a bit abrasive on my skin. It is very pretty
though!--
