I am an MRI tech. I've had a lot of coworkers who wear Fitbit watches, and they seem to do OK.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I wouldn't personally suggest it. The device does have acceleration monitors and pedometers in it that may be affected by the field you work in.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should be as it is 100% digital and there is no warning regarding wearing magnetic bracelets or anything near the device. None of the sensor tech as far as I am aware would be influenced by magnetics.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is a digital watch that is unaffected by magnetic fields. However, the electronic gyros used to calculate steps may be affected.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can't honestly tell you the answer, but it has a rumble pack in it to give vibration notifications... usually those are small motors that spin an unbalanced weight, and I'd guess that's probably a bad thing to have around an MRI machine.
