    Hi

    Would it be possible for someone to take a close-up photo of the clasp on the 5 or 5X please? This seems the be the greatest form of irritation to my wrist (actually cuts into the wrist quite badly), when getting a snug fit. I would be keen to see…
  • RE: Wrist band either too tight or too loose, is there a way to adjust it by 2-3 mm?

    The only real way is to replace the band with aftermarket.  Though I really like the sweat band idea. 

    Of course it wouldn't have mattered in my case as my original 5x band just fell apart one day;  So I purchased a velcro aftermarket replacement band…

  • RE: Good nylon or other light straps for Fenix 6X?

    It is pretty interesting that while I have never ever problems with the silicone straps of 310XT, 910XT, F3HR, F5+, F6X, I had to swap the straps between my Enduro and F6X, because the nylon Ultrafit strap irritated my wrist after a day or so.

  • Tan from Fenix 6 Pro optical sensor

    Hi

    A while back people were complaining on this forum of burns from the optical sensor. Those claims were refuted as unlikely with comments that the strength of the light would not be strong enough and it was most likely a contact irritation or dermatitis…

  • RE: HR Concerns - It is inconsistent

    Do you realize that using a strap isn't always an acceptable solution? I do have a strap, however I can't use it every day or on very long runs as it causes irritation, especially when I wear a hydration pack. Wearing a pack makes the strap move more…

  • RE: Vivosmart 5 bands

    My partner has this issue also. She's putting up with it by frequently changing wrists, once the skin has healed on each, even wearing the device facing the wrong way as it's the buckle that seems to be the most irritating.

    But to have no alternative…

  • RE: Recommend 735XT for a skinny wrist?

    … I'm surprised the 235 looks quite so big on the wrist. Wouldn't bother me too much for running but if I was to wear it 24x7 it might be a bit annoying.
    I cannot comment on the subjective aesthetic assessment, but the FR235 and FR630 are both…
  • RE: Quickfit band comparison and pics

    I've just got myself a navy blue MoKo band from Amazon for ?11 (GBP), about 25% of the price of an official band. Generally I'd have gone with the official bands only but I've found that the original band with 935 seems to irritate my skin if I wear it…
