CreateGreat Compatible Fitbit Surge Replacement for Band Strap for Fitbit Surge Watch Fitness Tracker Original Wrist Band Accessories Small&Large

This is a perfect solution for the problem you, dear reader, probably find yourself in if you’re reading this review. The broken band for your Fitbit Surge.You may have also viewed help videos on changing the band but it’s not as complicated as it seems (at least not like the one I viewed, not this seller’s video but another by some seller on eBay.). You don’t need the glue basically.If your bottom band (as you hold the watch face up) is broken then you’re in luck you also don’t have to worry about the GPS antenna step as that’s for the top band replacement (the one with the buckle)If your top band is broken (like mine was) then you don’t have to worry too much either about the GPS antenna. You just unscrew the broken band with the supplied mini screwdriver, take the broken one off, then use the supplied cleaning tool to gently clean away the old gunk and glue underneath the old band.Once you do that, taking care to not scratch the antenna underneath (it looks like a brown or dark yellow piece of scotch tape with a white arrow on it) then you can just snap on the new band, and screw it on, and you’re good to go.It’s not necessary to apply fresh glue before putting the new band on and in fact I’d say don’t do it because the toughest step is putting the new band on. You have to apply enough force to hear a distinct snap to put it on properly. Otherwise you won’t be able to screw it on. So if you have glue underneath it will probably make a big mess with the considerable force necessary to snap the band on. Again though, you need to hear an audible “snap” before trying to use the screws.A word about the screws too I’d save the original screws Fitbit used and not the ones that come with these replacements as the old ones work fine. The supplied screws may work; can’t attest to that. Others though have apparently written that they don’t quite fit and so the strap doesn’t fit flush with the watch. The screws are tiny so if you can’t see well up close I’d use some reading glasses or some other kind of magnification when fastening the screws to the watch.Took about 10 minutes total and now I have a “new” Fitbit surge for about $10! As you can see from the photos the strap fits well, no gaps between it and the watch, and again this is without applying glue of any sort. I’ve been wearing it for a week now with no problems. Well worth it at least to try before running out to buy a new watch for $200-$300. As I was struggling to put the strap on the watch, I figured I had nothing to loose by applying a lot more force than I thought safe. You should too after all this only costs a fraction of a new watch and if you’re successful you get a new one for 1/10th the cost. If you’re not successful, and you end up breaking your watch trying to snap on the strap, what have you lost anyway but a watch you couldn’t wear anymore in the first place?

I've had my Surge for a couple of years now and the original band came apart in less than a year. The first replacement band was a much higher quality than the original and was going strong, but my wife broke the buckle on the band. I got a new replacement and only changed the side with the buckle. I'll keep everything else for spares. It's easy to replace the band and these are a perfect fit. I've found the secret to getting the band to last longer is getting a cover that fits over the body of the watch and covers where the bands attach to the body. That prevents the edges of the band around the watch from getting caught on things and tearing. I've also seen some reviews talking about a rash under the band. The original and replacement bands have both done this to me as well. It seems to be more of an issue with wearing the band too tight rather than some problem with the band. If I loosen it up a notch it doesn't happen, but the heart monitor seems to be less accurate as a result.

There is no mobile app. It is slightly stiffer than the part of the band it replaced and is not a perfect fit but so far it serves it's purpose.I just took the old one off while being careful not to displace anything under it. Everything, GPS and other operational items others had problems with works as before

Replacement for the poor customer service/irreplaceable watchband that FitBit ($$$!!!) provides.... I had to watch a YouTube video on how to do it which was smart because I might not have known to remove the GPS sensor out of the top band. It did come with everything I needed to make the switch, 8 tiny screws (4 were extra), the band pieces, screw driver and pry bar (?).3 stars for very good pricing... but not 5 stars because of quality. You get what you pay for - the original band is made up of more silicone or soft plastic/rubber and this is made of harder plastic/less rubber content. It's very stiff. Also, when it clicks into place and is fastened with the screws on the underside, the tiniest gap is between the watch and the band. It looks as though it might eventually roll up or down (away from) the brains of the watch... HOWEVER... it will probably, STILL out perform the original band because of FitBit's planned obsolescence!!! If it were easier to take on and off (it's NOT very convenient) I'd buy some of the cute patterns - but it's not - so I won't!

Good replacement for my original Fitbit plastic wristband (why would Fitbit use plastic for a band they say is not replaceable?... a topic for another day... anyway...). On the packaging of this band is a link to a very helpful Youtube video that shows you how to attach the new band. One helpful matter is it guides you how to reattach the radio antena that is embedded on the original band if it becomes dislodged in the replacement process which happened to me. Minus one star for the band being slightly stiffer than the original, but all said and done I've been very happy with the replacement. Note, this is plastic as well but at least I know for us "active" folks and it happens again it can be replaced without buying a new device.

APOLOGIES!! I got this product sooner than expected and the price was the best. If you know anything about replacement fitbit bands, they are complicated and take a bit of craftsmanship to install. Well, my attempts failed on attaching the second band and I sent it back as being defective. I have since learned I did not completely dismantle and remove all of the original band parts, causing the replacement band not to fit. IT WAS ALL MY FAULT AND I'M SORRY! Otherwise, CreateGreat offers a great product and beats their own standards of customer service. I got a refund upon returning the product immediately - no questions asked. CreateGreat deserves additional chances and I will use them again - gladly!
