I've had better luck with this replacement band from Amazon, I've tried three, and this one tracks my pulse better and is more comfortable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XG29HRG/

I'm glad that you asked because out of ALL the sports straps, this is the BEST one. All other sports straps that look like this lasted no more than 6 months.

Here's mine

Baaletc 22mm Watch Band... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DCLBV5F?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I got this one, http://www.amazon.com/Vastar-Charging-Fitbit-Charge-Activity/dp/B0142A96G2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00.

So far so good. It is like a replica of the original charger, the short cable and all. Only thing to note is that the plug into HR is a little snug. Otherwise I'm happy.

I recommend a Fitbit! I have the Alta, you can swap the bands so it's appropriate for pretty much any outfit/setting. It doesn't look like a fitness tracker at first glance. You can set it so the time is always displayed and it's very easy to read. I use the default black silicone band for the gym and I bought this band for work/etc: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X3VRKGM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_1Rvwq7IMmufxs

I know Best Buy does. Or you can always buy it online. I actually bought the green wristband from a third party: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00J59OEEK

Not that I’ve used them but I’ve heard good things about securers from amazon for kids. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RG7PK42/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xlABDbQSAK2P2

So since these pretentious dicks aren't any help I'll try to help. I am currently using the silicone case from my 5x to protect my 6x, it doesn't fit great, but it's better than nothing. It will do until something is made for the 6 series. I ordered it off Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B077SG6TY8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_kV6KDbSQD44D4

Update: I added a screen protector and it is now so sensitive when I swipe! Seemed to clear up my problems 100%. This is what I ordered: IQ Shield Screen Protector Compatible with Fitbit Inspire HR (Fitbit Inspire)(6-Pack)(Full Coverage) LiquidSkin Anti-Bubble Clear Film https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N7MVN9R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TCWwDb9MA554R

this is super awesome for people multiboxing, means all gochas will work with all phones.

I've never purchased this, so I can't speak first hand. But it seems to have good reviews.

That's the brand I used when I had mine. Held up fine and worked like a charm.

And my oem band started peeling so I replaced it.

I wear a fitbit every day, which right now has a bright blue plastic band. I feel like it doesn't clash as much as you'd think since people just see it and file it away as a step counter instead of a 'real' piece of clothing/jewlery.

That said, I do have a rose gold strap on my Christmas list.

I bought a charger from Amazon when I lost mine for $7 from here:

I hope that helps!

If you don't find one, you can also get the original Alta for nearly the same money and use a clip like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Henoda-Magnetic-Holder-Fitbit-Black/dp/B01F81URDA

(Clips are also available for all newer Fitbits that feature detachable bands.)

That’s not actually a Fitbit, looks like a generic brand, but judging by how close it looks it a Fitbit Charge, I wouldn’t be surprised if the charger for that would work. No promises, but it’s possible this MIGHT work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S9QXU0O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_bSeSBbHCAK3D2

As others have mentioned, the fitbit won't register steps when your hands are stationary. However! Get the Fitbit Alta HR (I assume you want the HR) part, otherwise the original Alta is awesome. The band is removable so you can get a necklace, magnetic clip, ankle band, or a bunch of different styles of bands to replace the default rubber bracelet ones. For a warehouse job, I'd personally get the necklace or ankle band variety. I have a magnetic clip one and will attach it to my bra, but I wouldn't trust it hanging onto the outside of my clothing at all.

I found them!

And I just ordered a few more haha

I have a metal link wrist band that I used in my Mi3 and it works fine with my Mi4.
