I typically take the band off when I'm at work and keep in my pocket to track my steps.

 

Couple questions:

 

  1. is this ok and does it remain accurate?
  2. any best practices anyone would recommend as in changing any settings when doing so?

Thanks!

Hi @1Justin13 and welcome to the forums. I’ve used that same trick before. As long as the pocket placement puts the device at the side, on your hip, It seems to work well. One tip - This will sku your heart rate data so if you can, turn the HR off when the device is in your pocket.
