Flex 2 wrist strap

Okay, is it just me? My Flex 2 just arrived today, and the wrist strap that comes with it... the clasp is unbelievably difficult to open. I barely managed to click it shut to put it on, and now I'm having a heck of a time taking it off.
Am I missing something, or is it meant to be really hard to take off? OMG. I mean, seriously, I need pliers to get it off.

Haha! I just got mine today as well and about bruised my fingers trying to get it off. I believe its meant to be difficult to unbuckle do to swimming, etc.1

Hmm. This could present a problem. Maybe I'll get a 3rd party wrist strap. I got it specifically so I could switch easily between having it on my wrist (where a chat with a Fitbit sales rep told me tracking and sleep monitoring is most accurate) to clipping to my bra, hidden, in a magnetic holder.
All of this is because of a work rule. At work, we're not permitted to have "personal electronic devices" (including fitness trackers) because of potential distraction. If I have this clipped to my bra, nobody will be the wiser, and it won't be distracting me there. After all, I won't be looking down my shirt at work. So, I'll be following the spirit of the rule, if not the letter, and nobody will know. And I get to track my fitness at work, and sync it when I get home.
Time for a quick trip to Amazon... Okay. That was easy. $8 for a set of 3 sport bands with traditional buckle closure.1 -
I have the flex 2 as well. I bought a 3rd party bangle for it and I also have a necklace. Both look like nice pieces of jewelry and no-one would know you're wearing it.1

Jenni3001,
Mind sharing where you purchased the bangle and necklace that look like nice pieces of jewelry? Everything I find seems to still look chintzy. I dress up for my job and would like something that goes better with my work attire.0 -
I love all my fit bit flex 2 bands. I have the "wish" app and you can buy all kinds of stuff for the fit bit flex 2 on it the jewelry bangle and neckless and all the colors for the bands plus little jewelry for the colored bands.

I bought a set of 7 bands with the traditional wrist watch closure. Much easier to put on and take off!0
