Can I get better results tracking my steps if I put it on my ankle? The bigger strap is long enough

Hi @Onemore You dont say what your ptoblemmis wearing it on your wrist? Is it not counting well?
Basically though, yes you can wear it on your ankle BUT
Heart Rate may not work
Exercise tracking probably wont work properly
Step counting will NOT be accurate - it is not made to ne worn on the ankle
Having said that though I do sometimes wear my flex 2 on my ankle to guage steps taken while ballroom dancing as worn on the wrist trackers dont measure steps well during this particular style of dance. But worn on the ankle it does overcount.
You can test how yours counts on your ankle by checking the step count, slipping it into your sock, walk 100 paces (counting them) and check to see how many steps your tracker tells you you did.
