Well after a lot of deliberation I've bitten the bullet and ordered myself a Move.

To be honest not my first choice of a tracker, I would like one that does more but I have fairly chunky wrists therefore most other types won't fit me so I went down the clip on route.
I'm not that large really, current weight is 215 pounds but my wrists are over 8 1/2". I don't understand my the manufacturers don't cater for those of us with larger wrists.

Should be here Wednesday...

    I have the opposite problem—my UP2 is too big, and the clasp opens up sometimes. It says "One size fits most, wrist sizes ranging 140mm–190mm" (which is 5.5 to 7.5 inches).

    According to Google, Fitbit Surge extra large is 8.9" and Fitbit Charge HR is 8.7"—and Garmin Vivofit extra large fits wrists measuring 7-9/10" to 11-5/8".

    The Charge HR which was the one that appealed to me at first isn't available in XL here in the UK yet and Fitbit wouldn't commit to anything better than "soon"
    I don't think I could stretch to the £200 for a Surge XL which is only availbale through Fitbit so never discounted, although they do look good and a couple of colleagues have them albeit in smaller sizes.

    And I just checked and it looks as though the extra large band for the Vivofit isn't available in the UK either.

    I'll see how I get on with the Up Move.

    It arrived this morning.
    I'm impressed so far.
    I think I have it set up correctly, linked to mfp and enabled negative calorie adjustments

    I've had my move for over 3 months & really like it. I've just this week changed the battery. I've upped my step goal from 4500 to 8500 during that time as well. I didn't wear it on Sat as it didn't go with my dress & it felt slightly strange without it.
