Versa 2 replacement band wider than original and does not fit

[Grhaskett]

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

That worked... thanks!  I was not tilting the band when putting the top end in.

Woohoo @Grhaskett!! 😃 That’s fantastic news!! I’m happy it worked. Please consider making my post with the YouTube videos in them as “best answer”. Doing so can help other people who are experiencing band issues find the answers quickly. I’d appreciate it. I do hope you have a wonderful weekend and as always Happy Stepping!
