I bought a fitbit one from the UK amazon store. It works great, though I am a little concerned by the idea upthread that it can be lost so easily!

Same here, I don't trust the clip it's flimsy. I opted for getting this to use while exercising instead: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008M6PA4A/

For day to day I just leave it in my pocket. Haven't lost it in the last few months.

Withings is based in France and they've released/announced a fitbit style tracker & weight scale at CES recently. I'm excited about the basis band as a fitness tracker although.

Where are you located? Check your local Amazon or Apple site. They might have it if Fitbit won't ship to your country.

I concur with this. I ordered my original Ultra from Fit bit but purchased the Aria from Amazon. There was a negligible difference in price.
