Ankle wearing? Bare below the elbows..

Former Member over 7 years ago

Hi all,

My workplace has decided to strictly enforce its ‘bare below the elbows’ policy - which is disappointing, just a few weeks after purchasing my VA3.

Has as anyone tried wearing the tracker around their ankle? I imagine this will handle steps ok, just not heart rate..

any other suggestions? (Beyond a new workplace ????)

thanks,
A.

Hi from Sweden

I work at a hospital I wear my Fitbit charge 2 on my left ankle and then I bought the VA3 and now have that on the right ankle :) I have my socks over and it is only during working hours and I got used to it. Some use it on the ankle that have fitbit and probably fewer that have Garmins and I think it work rather good, DC rainmaker wrote something about this. I have small ankels but if some one is bigger there are extensions or larger bands. I bought this one and it is longer than stock and if You look around you might find a cheaper seller https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sport-Silicone-Watch-Band-Strap-For-Samsung-Gear-S3-S2-Classic-Frontier-Huawei/132382794291?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D41376%26meid%3D058b28d5e65e4f628da4d3a2c47d08c1%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D112630751908&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850
