  • A small, flathead screwdriver (optional): Some bands may require a screwdriver to remove the pins holding them in place.

Preparing to Change Your Fitbit Inspire Watch Band

1. Locate the band release buttons: On the underside of your Fitbit Inspire, you’ll find two small buttons on either side of the watch band. These buttons are what release the band from the tracker.
2. Choose your new band: Select the band you want to install. It’s a good idea to have your new band ready before you remove the old one.

Removing the Old Band

1. Press the release buttons: Gently press the release buttons on either side of the band. You’ll feel a slight click as the buttons depress.
2. Slide the band off: Once the buttons are pressed, you can gently slide the band off the tracker. It should come off easily.

Installing the New Band

1. Align the new band: Line up the new band with the tracker, ensuring the pins on the band are aligned with the slots on the tracker.
2. Slide the band on: Gently slide the band onto the tracker. You should feel a click as the pins secure into place.
3. Check for a secure fit: Once the band is installed, give it a gentle tug to make sure it’s securely attached.

Optional: Using a Screwdriver

For some bands, you might need a small, flathead screwdriver to remove the pins holding the band in place.
1. Locate the pin: The pin is usually located on the underside of the band, near the tracker.
2. Remove the pin: Gently use the screwdriver to pry the pin out of the band. Be careful not to damage the band or the tracker.
3. Install the new band: Follow the instructions above to install the new band. If you removed the pin, you’ll need to re-insert it into the new band.
