How does the screen hold up?

[Jess55]

I previously had a Charge HR. Unfortunately it died today. Fitbit gave me a promo code for a new one since of course it was out of warranty.

I do kickboxing on a heavy bag. My watch is under my glove and get hit against the bag. Will the glass break with a decent hit? It is under the cushion of my wrist wrap? If it will I'll just replace the charge but this one would allow me not to also wear a regular watch to work. Please any input would be great

Hi, @Jess55! I think that Fitbit recommends against wearing their trackers for this kind of exercise (for obvious reasons), but I wear my Blaze while doing boxing practice (heavy bag and mitt work). I just loosen it up and slide it up my wrist, so it sits lower than the wraps but still under the glove. I haven't had any issues. The only problem I've run into a little bit is that the touch screen can sometimes pause the workout due to the glove, but not really a big deal.

Hey @Jess55. Good to see you in the Fitbit Community! 🙂

@MakMak gave some great advise on this, I would really recommend following the recommendations and also, you can take a look at what one of our moderators, @EmersonFitbit, said about the topic on this thread.

Let me know if you need more help!
