Is it not recommended to change the bands with the magnetic one?

 

I just bought my inspire HR and replace the band with the magnetic one I bought online. When I wear the magnetic band, the HR reading is not normal, it shows very high HR. I compare the result by wearing 2 fitbit at the same time (one belong to my husband, same type, with rubber band) and the HR reading in my husband's fitbit is normal.

Now i switch back to wear the rubber band and the HR reading is normal.

Hi @Indiet, nice to see you. Thanks for being part of our Community.

 

Thank you for sharing your feedback. As these products aren't sold by Fitbit there isn't much information we can provide. Still, I have read from members that these bands don't affect your tracker but it is up to you if you wish to keep using them. 

 

While we don't have specific information on how magnetic bands affect Fitbit devices, we have some information about wearing a Fitbit device near an MRI scanner. All Fitbit devices contain ferromagnetic materials that may be attracted to an MRI scanner. We recommend that you avoid using Fitbit devices in the vicinity of MRI scanners.

 

I'll be around!

I was advised by my cardiologist to buy inspire hr to keep a daily diary of my heart. I was wearing the magnetic band due to swelling as it adjusts by itself. But I am not sure after the previous comment. 

This device is used to prevent Aretial Fibrillation and Stroke. 

 

Feeling unsure as I have constant spikes but I am also not very mobile due to chronic illness.
