I despair over Sense 2 straps

Regrettably, I've downgraded back to my first Fitbit Sense.

 

I was so excited when my Sense 2 arrived but became quite disappointed when I realised my Sense straps don't fit! 

 

So instead, I'm stuck with the OEM strap that comes with Sense 2 which, like the original Sense, is a rubber design that pinches the skin and eventually causes friction burns! 

 

With my original Sense, my favourite straps were third-party; a leather one and an elasticated fabric one! The elasticated fabric one was great because I take part in boxing regularly and it allowed me to quickly change the position of the watch to accommodate boxing gloves. 

Anyway, now I'm quite inconvenienced, I feel a pain in my wrist from the friction burn from an ugly strap that gets quite sticky when you work-out and sweat! It's such an awful design quality and I don't understand why they've broken something that didn't need fixing! 

 

If I ran Fitbit, I'd be issuing a recall and updating the strap-mechanism so that it was compatible with the original Sense straps.

 

I notice they didn't upgrade the charger which is prone to the pins getting trapped and no longer charging the device forcing you to buy a new charger... I wish Fitbit would fix their flaws instead of ruining things they were already good at.

 

Even the straps sold by Fitbit look and feel awful. 

 

Anyway, has anyone come across any Sense 2 compatible straps out in the wild that I could look at? Preferably in the UK.

@AndrewHill93 I use the sports band black with lunar white inserts, it looks good is by Fitbit and doesn't pinch, I have tried so many different bands, never used the original ones that came with the Sense, I like a traditional watch band. With a strap on the outside not inside, don't know who designed it but copying what just works make perfect Sense.

Wish they made this for the Pixel Watch, I would get it if it was available, but because Google has not released it, I will rock the last Most Advanced Fitbit Smartwatch ever the original Sense. Just hope Google doesn't start removing features from it. 

Fitbit Ionic 72.1.15 (recalled), Fitbit Sense 128.6.17 and Pixel Watch 2 BP1A.250305.019.W3, March 2025.
