With the Google acquisition and the awesome sale price this week, I got a Versa 2.  Amazing watch!  But I will agree that changing the band is it's biggest (and honestly only) flaw I can find.  It is very hard to change, but I don't think you need to return your Versa.  It took me longer than any other Fitbit I've owned, but I eventually did get the large band inserted.  Keep trying.  The instructions provided should help you a bit, but it is just going to take some good old wiggling and pushing, and eventually you should hopefully get the band changed.  Good Luck!

Is 45 minutes of jiggling, without success, long enough?

I paid my son $50 - he figured how it out to replace the band - i didnt bother asking him how he did it so i can post here. I think Versa was better than versa2-  but definitely better than active2. but apple watch is the reason i may have to go buy a iphone. and changing wrist band on apple watch -i was pinching myself - just cant believe it - next best thing after sliced bread.
