I have my Versa for years and my watchband broke (it was metal).  I watched several videos on how to change it, but for the life of me, I can't get the new band that came with the Versa to attach.  It seems like the band is a tad too big (I know it's not).   I've been without my watch now for a week because I just can't attach the bands.  Any suggestions?  TYIA🙄

I assume you are talking about one of the bands with the embedded spring pin. It can be a bit difficult to put on. What I do is get the non-spring side into the proper hole, then compress the spring and wiggle it into position. It takes a few tries, but once in it holds well. I’m sure you did this already but make sure the holes are clean and not clogged.

 

If you have some hand dexterity issues, then you can try using some dental floss over the spring pin to compress it so you can get it into place. Once in place you can just unwrap the floss.

 

You can also buy nice Versa bands on Amazon for < $10 USD. If you plan on hanging onto the Versa it’s worth the money and may be easier to get on the watch as it is new.

LOL I didn't realize how dirty they were and cleaned them - still with no luck.  I've spent an hour already but will try your suggestion.  Thanks so much for the speedy reply.
