Loose is definitely the option you want to choose. It is not supposed to be tight on your arm. BTW, don't worry about it working if it is loose...it does.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Susie, My wife found the small was really too small and went for the large and there is no doubt that was the best move. She is around 150 lbs and her wrist is not very big.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am a 6'0" female I bought the large and it fits in the middle of all the notches. It doesn't have to be too snug because the HR part has a hump on it that sets firm but not too firm against the skin. I probably could've bought the small also and put it on largest notch. Good luck!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Google "Fitbit Sizing Tool' and the first result is a PDF you can print out and match your wrist on to see what size it is. The Fitbit should be sort of snug - but your wrist expands and contracts throughout the day, so you have to adjust your bad accordingly - otherwise it will cause skin irritations! It took me a while to realize it was because I had it too snug and didn't realize it was getting tighter when my wrist expanded.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a very small wrist and found the small to be very tight fitting. I have the Large and can either make it tight or loose. I usually wear it tight around my wrist when working out and sleeping and loose during the day, especially during the summer.
