I have a Versa 2 for a few years and the original band finally broke.  The 2nd band that came with the original purchase did not fit - it was wider than the original.  So, I ordered a new band - box says it fits the Versa 2 but this one also is wider and will not fit.  Wider by probably a millimeter, but enough that I can't get it in. Any tips?

Hello @Grhaskett 

Fitting on a new band can be a bit tricky. It’s important to bring in the band at a certain angle. I’m inserting a couple of YouTube video so you can see: (1) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vLhWZqVZC0E. (2) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-cIPbblEpo0. 

As you can see it appears as if it might be too small but brought in at a different angle helps. 
😉I’m hoping this helps answer your question. Please let me know if it was successful
