I’m a MRI Tech and I guess this watch is incompatible around MRI scanners. I got my 1st one in yesterday and was happy and when at work walked into a 3T scanner then it died so waited till got home and called FitBit today they suggested that it was a defective watch so took it back got it replaced today and they again shortly after working around one of the other 3T scanners that one died too.

Any suggestions on a fit bit that will work in an MRI environment?

Hi, @Vinkreig, welcome to the community, Fitbit devices are in many respects very similar. I'm not aware of one that is designed for a high-magnetic environment.

I'm an MRI tech on 3T too.  I wear my Charge 3 everyday and haven't had any problems with it working.

They charge magnetically. I would beware around MRIs. My old Inspire HR stopped charging as well after a trip into the MRI
