My wrist is around the bottom end size for a medium but the price difference is around $50! Will it be very uncomfortable if the band is too small?

hey Josh, i found that the closer you size the Jawbone Up to the Upper end of the sizing the more the two ends protrude up and could catch on clothing. Bearing this in mind, I would tend to purchase the larger of the two Jawbone Ups. Considering that you are at the bottom for a medium, I would suggest purchasing that one in comparison with an uncomfortable small where the two ends protrude up. The band is not really flexible. Also, if you have made a slight error whilst measuring your wrist, the medium will allow for that where the small size will be uncomfortable and irritate you. Hope this helps, Merv hey Josh, i found that the closer you size the Jawbone Up to the Upper end of the sizing the more the two ends protrude up and could catch on clothing.

Josh my band is not loose, but is not uncomfortable. I hardly know that it's on. I check from time to time to see how many steps I've taken, but as a rule, I just go about my business and in the evening check to see what my progress was and if I need to take a short walk to reach my goals.

Hi Josh, are you in Canada like I am? Being in Canada, I couldn't go to a store and try the sizing tool that is affixed to the box. Annoying. To the best of my understanding, all the sizes are the same price, so don't let yourself get taken advantage of. If you're ONLY shopping on Amazon, each of the sellers have their own price-points, or if the items are used...there was a first run recall, so be aware of that if you're thinking you might be able to only pay $50. Buyer beware. Also, try this link from the Jawbone website for other mainstream retailers for consistent pricing: https://jawbone.com/retail-partners#!17/US. To directly answer your question, there is "give" in the wrist bands, so there will be no discomfort. I just squeezed my ends together to pretend it was too small for me...and there is no way that it could possibly exert enough force on my wrist for it to be uncomfy. My wrist is 6.5" (I just grabbed the measuring tape) and I am quite happy with how it fits. And, pulling at it right now, pretending it's too small for me, the ends don't stick out that much more than they do on the size that fits. Seriously. Save your $50.

My advice is not to buy it at all. Several people (including me), are having battery problems after a month or two. After a month and a half, my battery lasts about 8 hours. I also have other issues.This product could not be the final release, it should be a beta.

Padding inside the wrist works best for me! You can try both, but i think padding inside the wrist the way most people wear it

Probably. My Dad is 92 and his wrists have slimmed some, but I think the band would still be too big for an average woman's wrist.

Truthfully, I don't know. If I had to guess, it will fit the average wrist. It is NOT adjustable if that's what your asking.

You can adjust it to your wrist size very easily. I have been using it for a couple of months and is great. I bought another one recently for my stepmom, she does have a very small wrist and it fits her nicely. I hope you find something that works for you!

My size medium measures 36 inches long. If you do not have a large stomach, I think you'll be fine because the band does expand.

It's fairly small before putting it on but once on the wrist it fits snuggly. I don't have huge wrists but I didn't have any issue with these feeling to tight and I wore the for 36 hours straight before taking them off.

I have to be honest with you, I ordered them for a friend. He got the medium one and it fit his wrist perfectly. He is NOT a big guy.

Hi, I have small wrist too and this bracelet fits comfortably. When not stretched, it measures about 7" in diameter. I like the stretch, which allows me to move it up when washing dishes etc. the only complaint I have is that the elastic that hold it together has ends that straggle out. I trimmed them some and it's better now. Best, A

Hi, my wrist are huge! If you have small wrist, you will be fine! It adjust small enough to fit my thumb.

My husbands wrist is 7 1/8 inches. I think it might be really really tight and not very comfortable.

from their website small/medium is under 7 inches large/extra large is over 7 inches my wrist is about 8 inches and the brace is very tight at the outside edge, especially on the hand side.

Omron says small wrist is not a problem. I disagree. I strongly recommend getting the large upper arm cuff version. My doctor agrees also that the large upper arm version is the one to use.

Yes, I think so. I have a very small wrist (6.25 inches) and they felt very tight!

Hi Jennifer: My wrist is 6 1/4" and I bought the medium. I didn't know how they were supposed to fit, but felt that it would work out better if I had to tighten a medium, rather than loosen a small. They fit me just fine, as far as I can tell. No looseness at all, and I can type just fine. They keep my wrist rigid and my hands in line with my arm. Sandi

I bought the medium; I'm male, 5'-8" and 185lbs. My wrist is 7-1/4", and the fattest part of my forearm is 11-1/2". Out of the box, it feels a bit loose on my arm specifically towards the wrist, less so towards the forearm.

My left wrist is 6" and is ok, and the specs say as small as 5.3". I don't think you could go that small without padding.
