Will the Ionic have XL (greater than 8.1")  wrist bands available like the Alta HR?

I don’t wear an xl but fitbit’s response to thinking a wristband that is too small will satisfy the size needs for someone with an xl wrist is seriously disapponnting and other people chiming in to not worry wait for third party is plain ol annoying. 

 

Fitbit did not think outside the box on this one and that shows their lack of desire to satisfy the needs of all of their customers.  I wanted to buy this for my husband. Now I can’t and won’t.

Same here.  Would like to buy it but I don't want to wait for a 3rd party to come out with a XL band.  Looking at the new Samsung smartwatch.

The sizing chart on your website says that the large goes up to an 8.1 inch.
The XL on the blaze went up to a 9.1 in......

The XL band BARELY fits me, i know of some people that it doesn't fit. You guys need to create the XL band, so for those of us who want to upgrade, can upgrade without having to buy from a third-party person (How some people on etsy make extension clips for YOUR bands. In turn makes them make money off of YOUR product!)

Wrong!  I have a Charge 2 in XL and the L on the Ionic doesn’t fit.

I stand corrected, @hawkyou. Sorry. After an exhaustive online shopping search, it seems there are no XL Ionic bands available anywhere. As @Big-wrist mentioned, there is one listed online, but it has been out of stock for quite a while. You may want to keep an eye on that or, even better, write to the company to let them know there is a lot of interest in the XL band. 

 

In the meantime, the best way to communicate the need for an XL band to Fitbit corporate is to tap here and add your vote to the "New Feature" request for an XL band for the Ionic. The request already has over 70 voted. The more votes, the better likelihood that Fitbit will respond. 

 

I realize this is not a solution. But it IS the best way to make your voices heard at Fitbit Corporate. In these forums, we are just Fitbit owners trying to help and encourage each other.

It is really unfortunate that getting the XL band is so hard.  This is like a lot of other products in the marketplace whereby they cut out a growing segment of people.  When will FitBit learn that people are getting bigger and bigger - not smaller and smaller - if they were, then there would be FAR FEWER people needing a FitBit - - silly really - I guess I need to buy an apple watch - - maybe apple will come out with a scale too.

I did a quick search and found this band, according to the seller, fits a wrist up to 9.4”. I’m not familiar with the seller, but they have a 5 star rating.

I found two bands on Amazon both of which didn't work for my husband.  Silicon one was still too short at 9.4 inches and the metal one with the magnetic catch is long enough but he couldn't get it over his hand to slide it on and it doesn't disconnect (except at the face where the band attaches to the face) which isn't a good way to put it on.  Gave up and sent everything back including the Fitbit Ionic.  Looking for another solution now.

Silicon up to 9.4 in

Metal magnetic up to  9.4 in but it is much longer than silicon one

Yes it is. I could not put the blaze with the large band around my ankle. But the ionic will go around my ankle using the last hole on the band.

Except the large band for the Ionic is still too small for us with larger wrists - mine measures 22cm around ...

They definitely need XL and XXL bands for the Ionic. My husband and I are wanting to purchase this model as we are new to Fitbit, but he needs a bigger band than the 8.1 inch of the large band. This may keep us from purchasing since we are planning on getting healthier together and using the Fitbit to track our info and make a little competition of it.
