Fitbit Versa when boxing

[mormor666]

Used to wear my Fitbit ONE and later the Flex2 over my wrap and under the gloves. But just got the Versa as gift and wonder if the LED screen would survive impact even under protection of the gloves. Anyone tried and tested? TIA

I wouldn't risk it.  If you're going to be boxing, I'd continue to wear your Flex 2 for that activity, then switch to your Versa after you're done.

I second what @Heather-S said: since you have several trackers, why not wear the one that is smaller and less likely to suffer from hits during your boxing?

Thx for the sharing. That’s what I was planning to do but thought to ask if others have tried (& Versa survived)... hate switching devices as I always forget to switch on App. Thanks!

Thanks & Regards,

What do you mean by that? Whatever tracker you are wearing should keep its data for the period you have been wearing it.

I use my Fitbit to link to an app provided by my insurance agent... If I maintain 10K steps a day average for over a year I get 10% discount on my insurance premium... Therefore I have to make sure I have the Fitbit App is "switched" on to the right device that I am wearing to ensure I don't "miss" a day or so...

are you finding that the versa will not synch when the one is attached to the app? It will synch both trackers if you have them on the same account. I didn't think the versa was not compatible with trackers that have completely different OS. I thought it was just the Ionic...
