It's kinda crazy that Fitbit still hasn't figured out making their watch straps last.
My grandma has had 3-4 Fitbits now and every time she gets a new one it's the strap that wears out.. from regular usage. She has even gotten the strap replaced within warranty a couple of times.
The product works, but if that strap isn't intentionally designed for planned obsolescence then I don't know what is real anymore.
