Anyone else with a Withings O2?

I bought one a couple days ago, so far so good, but still tinkering around with it. My main issue with it right now is how easily it slides out of the watch strap, I have to keep it held in with 2 little elastics...anyone else have this issue?

    I've been using one for the past year and really love it. It took awhile to learn its peculiarities ( how to get it to consistently sync with MFP), but it's working perfectly now.

    I wear it attached to my belt, so I'm not using the watch strap. It still has a tendency to pop out of the rubber clip in your belt, an issue apparently shared with clip-on fit bits too. I ended up wrapping a rubber band around it to keep it in place. Works great, but not too attractive.

    Is there any flexibility in the watch strap to use pliers and bend the arms down a little more firmly before putting the withings in? I have 2 watch straps (bought one for my husband too) and one seems a little tighter than the other. You might end up scratching the surface of the watch clamp though. Or maybe try to slip something in behind the tracker as you're sliding it it, to make it a bit tighter?

    I think the only thing that's going to work are the elastics. My daughter has some little black ones that blend in nicely that I've been using. Don't think there is much I can do with pliers that wouldn't make it useless.

    I've got one. I wear it attached to my clothes, even to my pjs at night. Withings says you need to use the strap for the sleep function, but it works great without it.
