Running chest strap

[Hrannar]

Is there any chest strap for fitbit versa 2?

I would like to train as a goalkeeper but I cannot have the fitbit on my wrist. Is there any chest strap where I can put my Versa 2 in?

@Guy_ this solution isn't going to work for runners and athletes who so need realtime data while training as it takes away the display.

@Triletics- did you try it? The display should still be visible and rotated for easy viewing when worn over a shirt. I haven't tried it for running but if it is tight enough it should stay in place.

Chest straps sense the same electrical signals that drive the heart. Your fitbit looks at the changes that obscure in blood density from the heart beating. So I don't get the reason for using a chest strap with a Fitbit

@Guy_ how do you see current pace? Or HR when it's strapped like that? For example, I want to do zone 2 run or intervals. To me, it looks like just turning watch into HRM but the cost is removing all real-time tracking features. Also, have you compared it against real chest strap?

That's not what I would see looking "downward". Would struggle to see any data and would need AOD.

@Triletics- you can use all the normal watch functions [Exercises or Runs etc.] as before on the strap, but they will show in 90 degrees wrong orientation, as you say and difficult to see.

Hence the idea of SimpleSports only for general use, providing maximum information in the correct orientation. It isn't a substitute for any complex Exercises. As the watch is no longer subjected to wrist movements, you get more accurate step and HR readings and no false button presses.

Yes! I do the same when playing basketball in rec league where watches are not allowed. I actually use blue painters tape on screen to protect from KT tape used to tape down to chest. Works and takes readings. Not sure how accurate but numbers come close to when I wear playing basketball outside at lunch.
