After having wore my fitbit on my wrist as instructed, and assuming it was accurate for quite sometime, I came to find out that it is completely inaccurate as I apparently do not swing my arms enough while walking for it to catch all the steps! I now wear it on my ankle, don't miss a step count or the correct number of miles. I have checked it to be sure of it's accuracy now several times, by re-driving my walking route with my car, having the odometer set to start at zero. 🙂
Fitbit needs to make an ankle strap for the bit to slip into, but.......the large band fits my ankle perfectly, so all is well!!!! Just thought I'd share incase their are others who have noticed that they are only being credited for half their walk!! 🙂
Have a blessed day, y'all!!!

I completely agree and this is a great acknowledgement by you. I notice most of my walking is when I’m at the grocery store or out shopping pushing a cart and I’m not getting credit in my stats for this. My problem is my ankles are much bigger than yours and the large wrist strap doesn’t work. You should write to them to recommend this. Heck you should get a piece of the profits. All they really need to do is make a much longer band that will fit a wide range of ankle sizes. Smart idea girl!

Some of us only have the inspire without the heart rate tracking. Steps are what matters to those of us who need the ankle solution. I don’t think your ankle would provide a read on a heart rate/pulse anyway. Pretty sure only a wrist can do that

It most certainly does. Just keep the sensor around back on the meat. Not on the shin bone.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I just got my Fitbit about 2 weeks ago and still haven’t gotten much figured out! I’m gonna have to watch some videos or something 😂 Anyway, I did however notice that it was all about the arm swinging, an ankle strap is an awesome idea and I’ll be using this from now on. Ty again 😀

I got mine about 2 weeks or so ago and am still trying to figure out all of the functions and how to read all my data! I tend to make things more complicated than they have to be 🤔
