Will it work if you carry in pocket null

Question

Kayla · Accepted Answer

As far as counting your steps? I just tried it and yes it will count your steps. But it will not take your heart rate because it has to have skin contact.

Whitewulf · Answer

Yes but probably won't be as accurate

Silverswhispers · Answer

It would work but not likely to be as accurate.

Kayla · Answer

Bob it will still record steps while in your pocket but might not be as accurate. The HR function would also be obsolete. I would recommend the Fitbit One to you if you rather keep it in your pocket and don't care much for HR readings. This is made for being near the center of your body so it is more sensitive. The Charge is made for your wrists which move more while walking so it is less sensitive when near the center of your body, so it may record less steps.
But the occasional carrying it in your pocket will still be okay if need-be!
Hope this helps!

It will probably still count your steps but won't give you any other info

Yes, it tracks the movements of your body as you move. You just will not be able to calculate your heart rate since the monitor won't be able to access your vitals through your pocket.

No, it must be on your wrist as it uses your heart rate.
