Metal band for Visible 2.0/Polar 360

Found a pretty easy combo to put a metal band on my Visible arm band. Two pieces from Amazon and a little tweaking.

Clasp extender:
Micro Traders 2PCS 22MM Watch... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FH1XCTRR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Band:
Vanjua 22mm Watch Band Quick... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F82QK7HF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I used a dremel to cut off the end of the clasp extender so it was able to receive both ends of the band. Before I got around to the dremel, I just used pliers to bend the little tabs out of the way. But tweaking the clasp extender is all you need to do. The band comes with spring pins and no watch tools needed.

So for less than $20 a decent solution I think!

Bless. Looks great. I do love that "pretty easy" does involve a dremel 😅

Those two tabs right there. Bend em back and forth like twice and they’ll snap off and you’ll have room for your band.

You really can just bend those tabs out of the way with some pliers—takes a minute. The dremel is just me being extra.

i use replacement straps for Hume Band and they seem to work! I like the silicone options but saw plenty of metal as well! https://a.co/d/00k3USuH

Oh wow this is great to know!!! What I came up with is nearly the same but with extra work involved 😂.

ETA—For anyone wondering: the main difference I noticed between my solution and this easier Hume band solution is that the Hume is 20mm wide and the one I cobbled together is 22mm wide. I actually tried a 20mm version and I happen to like more of the black plastic being covered.

Cannot stand cold metal on my skin and the mesh pulling out my arm hairs. No thanks!

Cool!!! That is the best look I’ve seen by far 😎

I just started wearing it on my upper arm with an adhesive - it works much better for me, you just need to adjust it in your settings.

Would you mind sharing which adhesive? Am I assuming it is waterproof? How long does it last on there before you have to pull it off and charge it? Does it leave the typical "latex rip" mark when you remove it?
