Fob watch style accessory band

[Queenie3]

has anyone found a band that enables you to wear your Fitbit as a fob watch? I really want to combine me step counting at work with also using it as a watch on nursing uniform, but Fitbit don’t seem to have released one like the Apple Watch has? Really think Fitbit are missing the boat here...

Hi @Queenie3  check on Amazon. There are different pouches people have bought to clip the Fitbit on their waistband or pocket. It would take some time to search to find the one to best suit you. Let us know if you do as I'm sure you're not the only nurse around.

I bought one of these but the case keeps pressing on the buttons on the side of my versa switching it on and off and depleting the battery so it's no use. It would be great if anyone's had any success with something like this?  It would be fantastic if fitbit could make a proper fob there are so many healthcare professionals with fitbits

Hi @Queenie3 - Here is a fob from Amazon designed specifically for people in the medical field. That might work for you. It’s for the earlier Versas but it looks like it should fit the 3. Amazon has a good return policy. Please let us know if you decide to check it out so others can benefit from your experience.

I got one from Amazon for my Charge 3. Brilliant for when I was on a vaccination shift

Just started vaccinating again, but now I have the Luxe and can’t find a fob strap for it

Hi @TwixPanther - here are a couple ideas from Amazon:

• This one is a band extender. I’ve used these before when I was not able to keep a Fitbit device on my wrist and wanted to wear it on my ankle.
• I’ve also used scrunchi bands that easily fit on my ankle.

Finally, Amazon also sells bands that will allow you to place most any Fitbit at your ankle. Or you can try what for me, is the easiest fix … put it in a pocket. Please keep in mind that the Luxe will not be able to sense your heart rate with any of these methods.

Hi Queenie3,

I just found out that you can lock the Versa 3 with a 4-digit code. That way buttons aren’t pressed accidentally. Nice thing Is you don’t have to enter it all the time— I can still see the time without having to unlock. It automatically locks when you switch bands and at the start of the day.
