Hi:    My Mom, 86 years young - wears FB products.  But recently, she's had difficulty with her skin getting irritated on her wrist (being older and skin getting thinner).    Does anyone have suggetions/remedy?

She's had Flex and now using my Charge 2.     I've purchased a pedometer from a leading blood pressure measurement company that goes on her waistband which is fine for her steps, but wanted to see what's out there in FB line for her

Hello @LP670  the new Inspire has an optional clip that might be good for your mom. It doesn't monitor the heart rate, but it's a solid little tracker. You could always put a terry sweatband under the Charge 2 to keep it from rubbing her wrist. I found if I got any water under the band, that it would start itching, so I keep water away from the band. You can go to the Fitbit Store and use the comparison feature to see just which style would best suit your mom. You're good to your mom and that is wonderful. Let us know if you or your mom need any help.
