Fitbit's Charge series is the brand's best-selling fitness tracker line, and OzStraps stocks replacement bands for every generation from the original Charge 2 through to the latest Charge 6. Fitbit changed the band connector design a couple of times over the years, so bands aren't universal across the whole Charge range, but they do share freely within two clear generations: Charge 5 and Charge 6 use identical bands, and Charge 3 and Charge 4 use identical bands. Charge 2 uses its own connector and requires bands made specifically for it. Once you know which generation you own, a wide range of silicone, woven, Milanese loop and stainless steel styles opens up. Every band ships fast from Australian stock with a 12-month local warranty and a satisfaction guarantee.
Shop Bands by Charge Generation
Charge 6 and Charge 5
The Fitbit Charge 6 and Fitbit Charge 5 share an identical band connector, so any band made for one fits the other. This is the widest style range in the Charge lineup, spanning soft silicone, sport silicone, woven nylon, Milanese loop and classic stainless steel.
Charge 4 and Charge 3
The Fitbit Charge 4 and Fitbit Charge 3 also share the same band connector, so bands bought for either model fit both. If you're upgrading from a Charge 3 to a Charge 4, any bands you already own will carry straight across.
Charge 2
The Fitbit Charge 2 uses its own connector, separate from every later Charge generation, so it needs bands made specifically for the Charge 2.
Not sure which generation you own? The Fitbit Band Compatibility Guide confirms which models share bands across the whole Fitbit range, not just Charge.
Band Styles Across the Charge Range
Silicone
The classic soft silicone band uses a traditional buckle and hole design, is sweat and water resistant, and suits everyday wear, workouts and sleep tracking. It's the standard go-to for the Charge 5/6 and Charge 3/4 groups alike.
Sport Silicone
A sport-specific silicone band with a multi-hole design for easy tightening and a breathable build that resists odour through workouts, aimed squarely at gym and training use.
Woven Nylon
A breathable canvas nylon band with a traditional pin-and-buckle design, offering multiple adjustment points and a more relaxed, casual look than silicone in a range of colourways.
Milanese Loop
A 316L stainless steel mesh band with a magnetic clasp, giving stepless size adjustment and a dressier finish for the office or evenings out.
Classic Stainless Steel
A 316L stainless steel bracelet with a classic butterfly clasp, the most premium option in the range for anyone wanting their Charge to look less like a fitness tracker and more like a proper watch.
Which Band Should You Choose?
- Workouts and training: the sport silicone band is built for it, sweat resistant and quick to rinse clean.
- Sleep tracking and all-day comfort: the standard silicone band is the softest, most flexible option.
- Casual, everyday variety: woven nylon adds texture and colour without sacrificing comfort.
- Office or dressier occasions: the Milanese loop or Classic Stainless Steel lift the Charge well beyond its stock sport band.
- Upgrading generations: if you're moving from Charge 3 to Charge 4, or Charge 5 to Charge 6, your existing bands carry straight over, no need to rebuy.
Caring for Your Charge Band
- Silicone and sport silicone: wash with mild soap and water, rinse after sweaty sessions, and air dry fully before refitting. Avoid harsh alcohol-based cleaners.
- Woven nylon: hand wash and air dry flat; keep it out of the pool.
- Milanese loop and stainless steel: a soft damp cloth keeps the finish sharp, with a soft brush and soapy water for the mesh weave when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Fitbit Charge bands interchangeable across generations?
Only within two groups. Charge 6 and Charge 5 share bands, and Charge 4 and Charge 3 share bands. Charge 2 uses its own connector and isn't compatible with any other Charge generation.
Can I use my Charge 3 bands on a Charge 4?
Yes. Fitbit kept the same connector between the Charge 3 and Charge 4, so any band bought for one fits the other.
Do Charge 5 bands fit the Charge 6?
Yes. The Charge 5 and Charge 6 share an identical band connector, so bands are fully interchangeable between them.
Will my Charge 2 band fit a newer Charge model?
No. The Charge 2 uses its own connector design, separate from the Charge 3 onward, so Charge 2 bands only fit the Charge 2.
How do I change the band on my Fitbit Charge?
Press the new band firmly into the end of the Charge device until you feel or hear a slight click confirming it's secure. No tools are required.
Which band is best for swimming or the gym?
The standard or sport silicone band. Both are sweat and water resistant and rinse clean easily. Woven, Milanese loop and stainless steel bands should be kept away from water.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes. Orders ship via Australia Post to every state and territory, with free shipping on orders over $30 and same-day dispatch for weekday orders placed before 1pm.
