Wrist band doesnt stay attached

I love the ability of the fitbit to help me monitor my sleep habits. I am having one difficulty in that the wrist band for night wear does not "grip" itself in the closed position well enough not to fall off my wrist at night. I wonder if anyone has the same problem and if you have come up with a work around.

 

Thanks,

I heard that if your stick the fitbit in then turn it sideways it doesnt pop out as easy.

Okay... it was frustrating enough to discover that apparently an option to allow my fitbit to turn itself on when I move my wrist quickly was installed.

Even more frustrating is the ease with which the band releases itself or can be released by brushing against something. On a recent hike, I nearly lost the thing twice when I grasped a tree. If my companion hadn't noticed, it would still be in the forest.

This is really a poor design!

I've lost my second Flex now because of the wrist band this time. It fell off and I didn't realize it. Although someone has found it....apparently I had quite an active day Jan. 2nd! lol I lost it 4 months ago, so either the battery is really, really good....or someone had charged it. I will not spend the money on another one when I know theres a good chance it will also come off without me knowing it.

I have used O-Rings from Home Depot to hold the clasp on and have not lost mine since I tried that. Give it a shot!

Go to Amazon and search for BitBands. They go over the clasp on the wristband. Mine hasn't accidentally popped off since I started using them and I'm pretty rough on it.

Oh my gosh I am so ready to toss this sucker, my wrist band comes off at least one time a day.  I am so ready to go to another brand and not even worry about it.  It has fallen on the ground, in my garden, almost in my washing machine, in bed; and thank goodness it lights up at night to find it.  UGH!  Not my favorite for sure.
