I got my daughter a FItbit Ace 2 from Best Buy<\/a> for her birthday in 2021. You can get the older model Ace 2 there frequently on sale for less than $50. I honestly didn’t think she’s wear it, but I quickly learned she loved completing the challenges that it offered. She’s the type of kid that never sits still, so it seemed like a good fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stopped wearing it later in the year. I thought getting her a new band for Christmas would get her excited about wearing it again, but my wife thought it was a lost cause. After Christmas came and went I asked her why she didn’t wear it, and it was because she didn’t like the band! \ud83d\udca1So I decided to revisit a new band for her birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several big band stores out there like StrapsCo<\/a> and Axios<\/a> that sell several different styles of Fitbit bands. I really thought she’d like this rainbow one<\/a> (which cost as much as I spent on the watch) \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspire 2 \/ Ace 2 bands – interchangeable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So I ordered it because it claimed the Inspire 2 bands also work on the the Ace 2… sort of…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I got the band, there was one problem. There’s an extra ridge on the band that must work on the Inspire but the Ace doesn’t accommodate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

That ridge won’t let you insert the band to snap it into place on the Ace 2. So I got to work with my trusty Dremel rotary tool using a 409 cut-off wheel<\/a>. Here’s what it looks like in-progress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once that ridge is gone, it’s now actually<\/em> compatible with the Ace 2. My daughter loves it and it’s given her renewed interest in wearing it again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
