Sizing for Blaze

[SuperStepper]

I printed the wristband sizing tool for the Blaze.  When placing it on my wrist (laying it flat on my wrist) the arrow landed exactly on the line between small and large.  When measuring my wrist with a measuring tape, I get a measurement of 6.7 but could pull tighter to get to 6.6.  With the HR monitor on the Blaze, I was curious if I should go for the small or large?  (As a reference, I went with the large for the fitbit force but am currently carrying in my pocket until the Blaze comes out.)  Any recommendations?

The sizing guide suggests you should size up if you're between sizes so a large sounds best.

I don't know about the Force as I never saw it, but Fitbit's general advice is that if you are on the border between sizes you should size up.

Thanks.  I will go for the large and hope for the best.

Hello @SuperStepper, @SteveH and @Julia_G! 🙂 @SuperStepper was the large Blaze comfortable to wear?  I have mine and it it's so light I forget I'm wearing it 

Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

SuperStepper, Did you get the large?  I sized the same in border line between small and large.  I have not ordered anything as reading your posts and others on figured out if L.  I think L also, but if the band is allot of excess that will get in the way, I hesitate.  stores do not have on display to try on that I've been to.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community @skipper2! It's great to have you here 😉 You can use the Fitbit Blaze wristband sizing tool, just print it and choose the best fit for you! 

Hope this helps! 🙂

I got the large and typically hook on the 3rd hole. So, the large worked for me. It is also good to loosen it when working out.

I had the large on the Surge and found all the extra to be bulky and uncomfortable, so I went with the small on my new Blaze and find this to be a little tight... and therefore it's a little uncomfortable as well. I want to buy the metal band for the Blaze but I'm really not happy with either size choice. Why isn't there a medium size option?? That would work for most women I know. Not understanding this and it's preventing me from purchasing accessories 😕😕

I asked at Best Buy about trying on one and they had some samples put away which allowed me to try it one before buying.

Hello @atxscar it's great to have you here! 😉 I'm glad to hear you where able to try on the Blaze before purchasing the tracker. What size did you choose? 

Happy stepping! 😉

I got the purple in large... So far am enjoying it....

Now the ones to try on we're not out anywhere... I asked if they had any and they had to unlock a case... There they had all sizes all colors...

Hello @atxscar I have the Plum Blaze too! I use the pop clock face and I love how it looks!  

Hope to see you around more often!

Verify your printed wristband sizing tool with a ruler.

Using a tape measure, the circumference of my left wrist is exactly 7in= 170mm -- right between the small and large size Blaze wristband. So I printed the wristband sizing tool for Blaze using Firefox. Using the tool,
https://www.fitbit.com/content/assets/sizing-guides/blaze_sizing_guide.pdf
my wrist circumference is 1/2 inch into the large -- indicating I need to buy a large. However, measuring the printed tool with a ruler it shows the border between small (S) and large (L) to be 6.2in=158mm -- not 6.7in=170mm as printed on the tool. (There is no option in my Firefox browser to control the printed page size to 100%)

I then printed the tool again using Internet Explorer and Google Chrome after changing their page size options to 100% (instead of the default:  fit-to-page). On these copies the (S)/(L) border is exactly/correctly 6.7in=170mm.

With my wrist size right on the 7" border, I plan to take the advice of others and buy the large.

I bought the small and it fits fine.

Great to see you around @stanhilliard and I appreciate all the steps you provided to measure the correct size of wristband and glad to hear that the small one fits fine. If you need anything else, do not hesitate in posting it.

Catch you later.

More about wrist size:

Even though my wrist circumference was exactly at the border of small and large, my small band fastens in the fifth notch.

I am interested in the answer...I am a size SMALL in my Charge HR and am upgrading to the Blaze since mine is falling apart. When I print out the measuring tool for the Blaze I am on the cusp of SMALL and LARGE. I am actually going with the small b/c I don't want to have the cumbersome face and then also the bulk of extra band...I will see how it goes!
