Well, for those who are curious, I picked up a tube of Permatex clear silicone adhesive sealant and applied a very thin bead to both watches after removing the old adhesive sealant and cleaning them thoroughly with 99% IPA. I've set both of them to cure, and they've been sitting for several hours. Checking on them it seems to be holding, I'll keep this thread updated if anything goes south.

12 hours or so after applying the silicone adhesive/sealant, it seems to be holding nicely. So far so good. $7 is a much better deal than wasting your money on another poorly crafted Fitbit.

Well, both watches cleaned up nicely and so I’ve got twin FitBit Versa 2’s ready to rock! Kinda sucks that they didn’t want to stand behind their clearly poorly engineered product, even though arguably the UCC’s Implied Warranty of Merchantability says they should.

It’s been two months now since I did the repair and both watches seem to be holding up nicely, so this might be a viable fix for those who run into adhesive failure.
