Is your fitness tracker band broken or damaged because of general use? The wear and tear on your Fitbit band is to be expected, especially if you use it almost every day.

If you can still claim your device's in-warranty, Fitbit can replace your band. Fitbit can't provide replacements for out-of-warranty products. 

If you are one of those who own an out-of-warranty fitness tracker, you can still find a replacement band for your wearable. Some of the best places you can buy a replacement strap are:

• Spartan Watches
• Amazon
• eBay
• Best Buy

If you own a Fitbit Versa, the following are the steps on how to change your strap:

2. To release the band, what you should do is to slide the pin on the lever inwards. Next, you pull the band away from the watch.

3. To attach a new fitness tracker band, you should slide the pin into the small notch on the watch. Then, as you fit it into one end, you line it up with the other end and release the pin into place.

4. After that, you should hear the two sides lock into place. The band should also be stable.

2. To release, you should press down on the flat button on the strap. You may have to move it around and lock properly before trying to un-snap it from the frame.

2. If you want to release the half of the band, push the lever inward and simultaneously pull the band away from the tracker. Then, repeat on the other side to end up with a band-less tracker.

3. To attach the new strap, you should line the pin up with the hole in the tracker opposite the quick-release lever.

4. Once its tucked in on one side, you push the lever in. And then, do the same in order to slide it into the other.

5. With both sides inserted, you can let go of the lever. After that, give the band a quick pull. This is to ensure it's all locked into place. You should hear a snap on the second hole.

3. If you are having issues, what you can do is to push the band back towards the frame. And then, try to lock it back into place and restart the process.
