Fitbit Charge 6. (Aftermarket replacement bands.)

I was just gifted a Fitbit Charge 6 at the end of my Cardiac Rehab Program.

(Heart attack. Almost died. Almost died again. Got better. Mostly.)

Anyway, I want to continue using it for daily monitoring, but that plastic band has got to go. Have any one of you fast walkers out there gotten a replacement band for one of these jobbies? Which ones do you like? Which ones should I steer clear of? That kind of thing. I gotta switch mine out before my wrist starts smelling like a toe.

I know many don't like amazon, but it's good for this kind of thing. Stay is a possible source too.

And since I got the device for free, I figure I can spend a few bucks on trial and error.

Off to shopping!

They can be any where from 15 cm to 24 cm, so you can't just "buy a band' and hope it fits.
