Wrist band has become unglued surrounding the instrument itself - making it unsightly to wear. All of this in less than a year by a sedentary retired person. What can FitBit do to correct the problem?

The model name is: Oregon Analog Chronograph
The band on this model is a pin-less design and the band cannot be replaced by the consumer. The watch may be sent to http://parsecent.com/ which is the authorized Nike watch service center and replaced for free if under warranty still (2 Years). They can also replace for a fee if outside of warranty. See here for information and tool purchase. http://www.easycarts.net/ecarts/ShoppingCart/Oregon_Series.html#WA0022

I am going to make an assumption or two. One is you wear your watch regularly. At least every other day. Two is you are not sedentary. Try wearing the watch for three days. If the power indicator doesn't read at least 15 to 20 you have a bad cell (capacitor). If it does charge up to 15 to 20 then see if it lasts very long. Should last a couple weeks or more. If not then you still have the same problem. You can also go to a watchmaker and he will have a piece of equipment that can charge your cell in 3 1/2 hours. Then if the cell goes dead rapidly he/she will replace it. Should cost around 50 or less.

mcdevito75 here, As lomg as the watch band, no matter it"s material fits the watch lugs and your wrist, any band can be used. Your answer is yes.

How you go about putting in the extra links to make the bracelet fit your wrist?
Here's a link that may help, you'll need a couple of tools,

buy a Casio wrist watch at KMart for around $17.00. They last five years, then the
band breaks and you buy a new watch. I timed the traffic signal system of our city for 20 years from a Casio wrist watch. Now in retirement, I have a Time Expedition which has several alarms which I do not need, and can't turn off. We change the time twice annually, so having alarms and chimes go off without warning ca bve a nuisance.I found some instructions on a website which shows how to turn the alarms off.

I don't know this watch in particular, but I know there are two main types of bands. Coded and non-coded. The S120 uses non-coded. That means you can use possibly any band on the market. Bands I know are compatible: Sigma and Ciclosport. The Polar bands are sealed, so you can use them while swimming. That's not true of the other two I mentioned - but the upside is you can replace the battery yourself once it wears down. You can probably get a replacement band from Polar directly, or buy a cheap knockoff elsewhere.

The "gizmo" would be the pin that attaches the watch to the case. You can easily purchase a replacement pin or strap at any store that has watches (even Wal-Mart). These are very inexpensive and each one will cost you less than $10.

IF they still make the same bracelet for your watch you will be able to buy a replacement. If the watch is a leather strap then it is much easier as I can guarantee they will have a compatible strap. Contact citizen to see if they have any metal bracelets or leather straps for this watch.
