Adjust the woven band
-
Clear your wrist: Please remove bracelets from your wrist.
-
Position the tracker: Slide the band over your hand and position the tracker on top of your wrist, behind your wrist bone.
- Find the right tension: Push down on the metal loop. Simultaneously pull back on the band until it fits comfortably snug.
- Close the velcro: Wrap the band over the device and close with velcro.
When fitted properly:
- You should be able to just slide your pinky finger between your wrist and the band.
- The device should not slide up or down or rotate around your wrist when it’s properly secured.
Change the band
Google Fitbit Air comes with a standard-sized woven band.
- Remove the device: Hold the outside edges of the band next to where the device sits.
- Pop it out: Push firmly on top of the device to pop the device out of its current band.
- Switch it up: Press the device into your new band until it snaps into place. Make sure the small alignment markings on the band and tracker line up.
Firmly double tap the top of the tracker to confirm you can see the LED light flash.
- Note: If you don’t see the LED light, you may need to repeat steps 1-3 and rotate the tracker in the wristband, making sure to line up the small alignment markings.
