If anyone wears their Inspire 3 around their ankle, I have a question for you - do you keep the fitbit in the worn on wrist setting or do you change clip on body setting?

I believe that 'worn on wrist' mode  must be used because, as I understand it, the heart rate monitoring sensors are disabled in 'clipped on body' mode, which makes sense because the sensors would be unreliable when the device is clipped to the body.

I suspect that the step count would be much more accurate when the device is worn on the ankle as well, but I have no way of knowing that for sure.
