So depending on the model you need to take different steps that will basically take the body out of the band and will allow you to add the new band on it.
The best thing to do is to find a good deal on Amazon and buy a variety of replacement bands in different colors, so you will have different matches for your clothes or shoes so you always look stylish even with a Fitness tracker.
Although the big deals, that you can buy like 30 bands for 20 dollars, are normally from second brands and are plastic bands. The high-end bands like leather, metal or even the cool sport editions ones, are available to buy by the unit. And we recommend you to buy the originals made by Fitbit, but for the day to day the exchangeable cheap bands are more than ok.
