Product Information

When I wore my Fitbit on my ankle, I just forgot it was there at all. Not only did this mean I couldn't aimlessly look at my stats for the day as a distraction, as I often do when I'm waiting in line for coffee or the bus in the morning, I think it gave me a more realistic idea of how much exercise I would do every week if I wasn't pushing myself based on what my Fitbit said.

These people are reporting that using their Fitbit on the ankle has made the steps count much more accurately. When wearing the Fitbit on your arm, you can still take heart rate and SpO2 readings just as you would on your wrist. Some people will use a very slight hand movement or place the hand on the grab bar while walking on the treadmill, this can cost in a miss counting of steps.

First, you have to understand that there isn’t a Fitbit device that was originally intended to be worn on the ankle. There are ankle bands that you can attach your Fitbit to, however, these are not Fitbit’s official bands. Though step count is likely not the primary statistic you’ll be monitoring during a spinning class or bike ride, I was surprised to find that wearing my Fitbit on my ankle resulted in 1,510 extra steps in just 30 minutes, compared to only 180 extra steps when worn on my wrist.
