How to Unlock and Change the Band on Your Fitbit Inspire 3

Published in Fitbit Bands 2 mins read

"Unlocking" your Fitbit Inspire 3 typically refers to the process of removing or changing its band. This is a simple procedure that allows you to swap out bands for cleaning, replacement, or to personalize your tracker's look.

Steps to Remove the Band from Your Fitbit Inspire 3

Changing the band on your Fitbit Inspire 3 is straightforward, involving a quick-release mechanism. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a smooth removal:

  1. Locate the Quick-Release Lever: Turn your Inspire 3 tracker over so you are looking at its underside. You will find a small quick-release lever at the point where the band connects to the tracker.
  2. Press and Release: While gently pressing the quick-release lever inward (towards the center of the band), carefully pull the band away from the tracker. This action will disengage the band from its slot.
  3. Repeat for the Other Side: Perform the same steps for the other side of the tracker to completely remove the second half of the band.

Why You Might Need to Change Your Fitbit Inspire 3 Band

There are several reasons why you might want to remove or change the band on your Fitbit Inspire 3:

  • Personalization: Swap out bands to match your outfit, mood, or occasion. Fitbit offers a variety of band materials and colors.
  • Cleaning: Regular cleaning of your band is essential for hygiene. Removing it allows for a more thorough wash.
  • Replacement: Over time, bands can wear out or become damaged, requiring a replacement.
  • Comfort: Experiment with different band materials, such as silicone, woven, or leather, to find the most comfortable fit for your lifestyle.

Reattaching a New Band

Once you've removed a band, attaching a new one is just as easy:

  1. Align the Pins: Hold the new band with the pin facing the tracker. Insert the pin into the small hole on one side of the band slot.
  2. Engage the Lever: While gently pressing the quick-release lever inward, align the other end of the pin with the opposite hole.
  3. Secure the Band: Release the lever, and the pin should snap into place. Give the band a gentle tug to ensure it is securely attached.
