I recently brought the Versa 2, after having a charge 2 for a couple of years it was time to upgrade. But my dilemma is when I walk I push a pram and fitbit doesn’t count the steps then, so for my charge 2 I got an ankle band and that worked fine. The versa 2 is an issue as the bands are really tough to take off and put on, in fact just from the one time I can see damage to the band which I’m obviously very unhappy about.
So I was thinking maybe I can use my charge 2 for my pram walks - is that something that would work and how would it work if it did?
Two devices on one account and I have to wear both or would I be able to just wear the charge additionally and it would sync the extra steps to the days total?

Hi @Jo_pramwalker - I agree. It is too difficult to change bands on your Versa 2. It might be easier to simply place the Versa 2 in a side pocket or in a cross body purse when you push the pram. Or place it in your sock. That’s what I do when pushing a shopping cart.

 

It looks like it is possible to have both your charge 2 and your Versa 2 on your account. The process is somewhat complicated but here is what you would have to do. You need to wear them one at a time, syncing before each switch.  My starting point is the Versa 2 on your wrist.

  1. Remove the Versa 2. Sync it to the Fitbit app on your phone. Set is aside.
  2. Place the Charge 2 on your ankle. Go for a walk, pushing the pram.
  3. When your walk is finished, remove it from your ankle and sync it to the Fitbit app on your phone. 
  4. Put it aside and put the Versa 2 back on your wrist. 

Like I said, it’s much easier to stick to just the Versa 2 while being creative regarding placement. Please let us know if this helps. Happy walking! The weather is getting nicer, at least here in Michigan.
