What is the best way to log soccer?

[Scott_P]

I am always playing and training for soccer. So I was wondering what would be the best way to track my game with the fitbit surge?

Personally would choose either 'run - free run' (uses gps) (have pace / distance / heart rate..) or use 'workout' (no gps..) but heart rate and calories burned.. uses less battery as well since not using gps.

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea!

I would not, not so much out of accuracy concerns, but rather for fear of damaging it - afterall, soccer is a contact sport and your tracker can indeed take a beating. Personally, I would rather not wear the tracker and log the activity manually, using this web site to estimate the calories.

Soccer is there, under Sports & Recreation.

My take. Have a good day.

Plus when I used to play team sports, we were not allowed to wear any watches or jewelry due to the risks of hurting another player or yourself. Imaging hitting another player with the hard surface of the Surge unintentionally (one would hope...) in the face. I remember a match when a player didn't follow the rules and got an earring ripped out of her lope somehow... Not much fun.

... lobe, of course. Edit function didn't work on my iPad. 🙂

Ouch, that definitely wouldn't have been very fun. 

And yeah, we aren't allowed to wear watches and jewellery into a game, but I was generally referring to training. It works great when we are doing fitness, and now I just usually take it off when we start getting into practice matches.
