Can I wear a sweatband on top of my fitbit to protect it while I climb?

hey,

Do you all think that it would be a bad idea to do so?

I am very afraid it will get scratched 😕

What do you all suggest?

Thanks 😄

If you want. But I have worn both my Charge HR and Surge for over a year and they are not scratched

No experience with climbing (is it that rough that your display may be hitting a rock or something?), but putting a sweatband on top of your wrist-mounted Fitbit won’t affect its operation.  Like @WendyB, my Fitbit Surge is still in perfect condition after a year of use, both display and band. OTOH, I don’t engage in any extreme activity.

You can get Fitbit screen protectors for 0.99-6.00 depending on where you go: ebay, Amazon, xTreme Guard, etc. If you want glam (something that makes your fitbit look like a bracelet), they run from $10 - 100. Just google "Fitbit bling."

 

I've been happy enough with the cheap screen protectors for my Charge.

I use a sweatband when I play basketball to protect other players from scratches.  I haven't had any problem with it yet.

I agree. I ordered screen protectors on Amazon.. 7 dollars and will be worth it.

Hey,

What's the brand? I ordered some a week ago and they scratched the screen and soaked it with glue.

Watch out.
