Wearing tracker under a wrist brace

I've recently gotten the Charge 5 in order to participate in a study, so I need to wear it pretty much all the time. The problem is I also need to wear wrist braces at night due to possible carpel tunnel in each hand.

Can I wear the tracker under the brace if I keep it loose enough to avoid too much pressure on the tracker, but tight enough to keep my wrist from bending?

Hi @PurpleDucky 

At first glance, I don't see an issue with wearing your Charge 5 under your wrist brace at night as you described. It seems that your device should still be able to track your data. If you need to adjust the sensitivity, click here for instructions: Fitbit sleep tracking & sensitivity

Thank you. I will give it a try. I love seeing my sleep patterns, but I don't like the buzzy fingers and numbness if I don't wear the brace. So fingers crossed that this will work 🙂
