I’m sorry this is going to be such a shit comment, but I worked with a guy that had a fitness watch of some stripe.
He was a heavier guy and well, that plasticy band was pressed tight against his skin. One day he came in with this nasty looking ring of red and peeling skin around his wrist. Said he got a rash from the watch. (It’s very possible it was an allergic reaction to something in the band.)
This is a shit comment because I don’t know the brand, and I’m totally saying “trust me, bro.” But like, trust me, bro, it apparently happens?
No I have seen it happen first hand. To myself and a family member I totally believe it. I had to try several bands to find one that doesn’t cause me issues similar to that but not as severe. This is wild it isn’t more regulated or something.
Yea i know that silicon is a rough material, so I went with a woven cloth band that uses velcro to fasten the strap. Anything is better than that silicon crap.
I’m not surprised at all. My wife and I only use 3rd party metal bands because the factory bands gave us both chemical burns.
WTF lol

Can confirm. Fitbit Charge 6 band did that to me until I replaced it with this style:
