Versa Smartwatches L/XL wristband

New to Fitbit as I am, I've long lamented & read reviews, also some near 500 suggestions to providing a larger strap. Ankle wearable.

 

Man in the Health & Well-Being sector weights etc will have far larger wrists than the current options. Come on Fitbit folks n design team, please listen to the needs and wants of your client base, after all larger straps you'll open up to a larger client group.

 

Cheers..

Hello @MarkTheReikiMan, I think just like you guys. Having this option in our trackers would be awesome. We look forward to hearing what other community members think.

Please work with 3rd party vendors or something to release a band that fits larger wrists!

We need XL!

Using the Large band that came with my Versa, it fits on the 3rd to last hole. Wearing it like this leaves the remaining part of the band hanging out since it wont fit in the loop.

Definite need of XL wristbands. The large does not fit my husbands wrist, actually it does not even clasp together. I wanted to purchase a Versa or Ionic for him but unfortunately you do not offer XL wristbands. Please start offering XL wristbands.

The Versa Fitbit I bought today barely fits my wrist with the large band it's to the last hole. Without there being an XL band I don't think I'll ever be able to comfortably wear it so might have to return it and downgrade to a lesser model or look into a different brand with better selection...

Yes I agree with the others. Just purchased mine yesterday 10/20/18 and sitting on the last slot with the large band on. We definitely need an XL.

I agree, there needs to be an XL option.  I was a long time Fitbit user and would purchase the newest devices, but once you decided to stop offering an XL option, I had to switch to the Apple watch.  Now that I no longer use Apple products, I would love to return to Fitbit, but the band remains the issue.

i know the fitbit is supposed to be worn on the wrist, but for some of us that use our hands and the face gets scratched we wear it on our ankle. can fitbit make the band in XL to accommodate this?also can the make bands in colors of pro sport teams with the team logo on them ?

I have owned a Charge and a Charge 2 for a few years. I have read good things about the Versa 2 and have contemplated picking one up. However, there is one thing that to this has a been a deal breaker that I just cannot ignore, no options in case sizes!! Having a large wrist the 38 mm size just won't do. I have tried on my wife's Versa for perspective, but it does not look right on my wrist. I would like to see different size options such as 40 mm and 44-45 mm. That would increase the Versa's competitiveness with other ftinesstracker/smart watches that seem to be moving in this direction.

I can't find a fitness tracker from ANY manufacturer that will fit my 10" wrist.  Clearly I'm in the demographic that most needs this product.  The manufacturers attitude appears to be "Lose some weight and our product will fit."  However, if I'm successful in losing the amount required to get your products to fit, I will have proved that your product is unnecessary. That's a very strange marketing stance.

A XL band is needed in the Versa for ankle wearing and for mens sized wrists.

The large band that comes with the Versa 3 is too small for my wrist. There need to be larger bands available. Even third party bands limit themselves to the same small/large sizes as the default fitbit sizes. I can't buy a fitbit until this is fixed!
