Classic, elegant, and perfect for day-to-day use, the Wearlizer Milanese Loop band adjusts to effortlessly fit around your wrist while pairing precisely with your Fitbit Charge 2.
The Wearlizer is made with a flexible stainless steel mesh material, and because of the lack of clasp, it's very easy to adjust and make the band comfortable.

You can pick from four different colors, including silver, black, gold, and rose gold.
AK Fitbit Charge 2 Band
If you're someone who likes a bit of a sportier looking watch band that also functions as a fantastically breathable workout buddy, then we recommend taking a look at the reasonably-priced AK Fitbit Charge 2 Band.
Designed with a soft, bendable silicone, and adjustable enough to fit wrists of almost any size, the AK Fitbit Charge 2 Band is not only functional, but fashionable. The buckle is stainless steel and the band itself is 100% waterproof, making it the ideal accessory for working out and building up a sweat!
The band comes in six different, vibrant colors, including pink and black, blue and black, green and black, gray and black, red and black, and white and black – and with the AK Fitbit Charge 2 Band costing around $13, why not pick up one in every color?

Best Replacement Bands for Fitbit Charge 2
If my band two is dead again I might sell the return I get and buy one of these.
When my third Band 2 came to me defective, straight from MS, it was time for me to make the change. I went with Charge 2, and I found it to be a decent replacement. The most obvious difference is the display, but that may not bother you as much since you get way better battery life. Sad, as I think Band 3 might have finally been the one where MS learned from their manufacturing woes.
(EDIT: after looking through all of these I might go with the bayite Stainless Steel one).
Agreed. I just replaced my Band (1) with a Fitbit Charge 2. Best Buy didn't have the Band in stock anymore of course. I lost my Nokia 929 and wanted to replace it but when I went to Verizon they only had the 735 (I'm pretty sure I knew that already, but wanted to hold it and see how I felt about it).
Ended up with an iPhone 6S and I'm somewhat happy... mostly to be back on Fitbit but sad to not be on Windows anymore. I loaded a bunch of Microsoft Apps cause I like them and all of my subscriptions etc.
The girl selling me the Fitbit asked if I was sure I wanted to switch because the Charge band is known to break a lot. I LOL'd inside because MS Band had the same issue on the second one.
FYI: I have not and will not download SnapChat!
This weekend,I actually ended up getting it as a replacement for my band 2 from ms store. In fact, we also got another one for my wife's band 2 as well even though it was still working fine. I just mentioned that we're getting tired of getting replacement bands and that we're there probably 6th time between our two bands.
Don't. Go with the Garmin Vivofit HR+. It's the only thing that comes anywhere close to what the Band 2 does. FitBits are horribly innacurate with their steps.
The charge 2 design is mush better I even got 3 bands from aliexpress.com for 3$
I bought a gunmetal grey traditional clasp band for my Blaze off of Amazon. It cost $20 and came with the tools to remove extra links. Fitbit wanted $130 for their version. There are a lot of great looking Blaze bands on Amazon.
Too bad there's no replacement band for the Band2. About to send back my fourth
if i cant text or do music control on it, no tnx. band 2 is still capable and will be for another 2-3 years.
It will be able to do all that (apparently) with the next big update to Win10Mob, as microsoft are supposed to be adding GATT to the Bluetooth!!
So Notifications and Media Control 'should' then be possible on Win10Mob with FitBit, Sammy Gear and all the other Bluetooth Wearables!!
I swapped my Band 2 at the Microsoft Store for a Blaze, and then also picked up a Charge 2. With the Fitbit system, I can interchange them and the software automatically uses the one I'm wearing. I ordered a Milanese band, in black, for each. I love the ability to easily adjust the fit by sliding the magnet up or down the band. Also, they are so flexible that you are never uncomfortable. I purchased them from Amazon. I miss the functionality of the Band 2, but these both meet my basic needs, and the wrist bands are the most comfortable I've worn.
The following was part of the Wearlizer Milanese Loop Replacement description: although it has a nearly 5-star rating on Amazon...Uhm, come on. This Band has 27% of the reviewers giving it LESS than 4stars. That is hardly “ ... a nearly 5-star rating on Amazon...”
I got this black, stainless steel band and LOVE IT!

Just bought a Fitbit charger as was recommended as closest replacement to Microsoft band 2. But function wise band2 is so much better. Notification not supported on windows phone, no music controls, can't add own apps. Just not in the same league as Microsoft band2!
SEO bait....
How long does the battery last for a run with the Charge 2? Normal mode and connected GPS?
Anyone reading this with a Band 2 they want to keep from ripping - get some black Gorilla tape and cut a 3/4 in. width of it. Make two pieces, and place them neatly along the outside of the Band on both sides of the clasp. It's strong enough to "hold" the rubber and keep it from even STARTING to rip (at least for me, this 7th Band 2 has lasted the longest since I've used the tape on it right out of the box.) I so wish they kept making/improving this device...
Notifications pending for Fitbit and Windows Phone, public beta due this week!
