Blaze - Discontinuing of XL wristbands

[M.Ingraham]

I must say that after all of the wrist band problems I had with Charge HR, I was really happy when I discovered how the Blaze was configured. Now 2 years later I finally need to replace the band on the Blaze only to find the XL band is no longer available and none of the new products are even offering XL as an option. It seems unlikely that the additional manufacturing cost of offering that extra option is worth alienating part of your consumer base. Especially when your entire mission statement is about helping people get and stay healthy. Kind of seems like fit bit is saying that if you dont fall within our preconcieved sizing standard, our products are not for you.

Fitbit no longer distribute XL bands for the Fitbit Blaze, since as you mentioned, in many cases, we found that large bands meet the needs of those who purchased XL bands and allows for continued and comfortable use of the tracker. I recommend referring to the sizing chart for the Fitbit Blaze.

My wrist exceeds the 8.7 inches the large band says it will go up to. But the XL band worked perfectly, so what then would be your recommendation?
