The best Fitbit Charge 2 bands and accessories

The Fitbit Charge 2 is one of the company's best selling fitness trackers, and if you own one you've likely had it sporting the same design since you got it out of the box on day one.

Below you'll mostly find our selection of Fitbit Charge 2 bands - there are more straps than there are accessories because there are so many great options - that can entirely change the look of your tracker. 

We'll run you through some of the best third-party options as well as our favorites you can directly buy from Fitbit.

These are products that we haven't had in our test labs, but based on our experts' opinion and knowledge of the most reputable brands around, we think these are worth looking at. 

Our selections, ranked from cheapest to most expensive, take into account online reviews, brand reputation, product capability or unique features to help you pick through the maze of choices available to you.

Different colors different prices

If saving money is your main intention here, it doesn't mean you have to miss out on having a leather band for your tracker. 

This leather option from Mornex comes in a huge variety of colors, which at the time of writing is over 20 different options.

We don't expect the leather to be particularly comfortable for when you're exercising, but it gives your band a different look to most of the other straps at this price.

Might not have perfect fit

If you’re irritated by silicone or steel straps, this woven nylon band is one of the cheapest bands we’ve seen. It’s available in two different colors and has a buckle, meaning it should be easy to get a good fit. 

With some of the cheaper bands, however, it’s definitely worth checking your Fitbit is firmly locked in place before wearing.
