Why can't I find Large size bands for my ionic at the fitbit store.  The sport and the leather band are only available in Small.  My size is between S and L.  The original band causes some uncomfortable wrist irritation.  I wash it several times a day with a soapfree cleanser.  So I wanted to buy the sports or leather band to let my skin breathe more.  Can anyone help me ? Thank you.

Hi @lindahermans,

 

I just checked the Fitbit Store and was able to find the perforated leather bands in large for the Ionic.  I was not able to find them in the Sports band.  It looks like Fitbit may need to restock their product.

@lindahermans,

"The original band causes some uncomfortable wrist irritation."

 

Had same problem initially. Keep the Ionic dried along with your wrist. If you swim or shower with it, or get a sweaty wrist after excercise, always remove it and dry it along with your wrist. Don't wear the band too tight. I can push up both sides of the band with my other hand and produce a ~5mm gap. This is how loose it should be - and also still measure your heart rate.

I had to initially stop wearing the device for a few days to let my wrist recover. Then did the above. No issues since.

 

Plenty of band options on eBay as well.

Are the bands on ebay of good quality ? I once purchased bands for another fitbit on the internet and they were not so good.  They came off the watch very easily and since I didn't want to loose my watch, I finally purchased at the fitbit store.  Thank you and regards.

Still cannot find the perforated leather bands in the store in size Large.  Perhaps you have a different store than I have, I'm from Belgium.

Haven't bought a band off eBay for the Ionic. Did for a Versa - and was as good (identical?) as the original for 1/4 of the cost. 

Have a look on ebay.com and check a seller offering international postage. I'm in Australia, but occasionally have a look at the U.S eBay site for items that ship internationally if I can't find what I'm lookimg for at eBay.com.au
