Charge 4 silicone pocket clip

[Lacrig]

I bought the new charge 4 as I was thrilled to finally have a Fitbit with built in GPS and waterproof! (Having previously had the charge 2) As a healthcare worker we are constantly washing our hands and have to be bare below the elbows. I would love to be able to clip it securely in my pocket when at work to record my steps, I know it’s designed for heart rate monitoring but it’s just not possible as a front line NHS worker! Used to squeeze my charge 2 into an old zip but it did break and this one is just a bit too big. I think you would find a big interest in this and could market accordingly. Also clip it inside my sports bra for my netball matches as also cannot wear on the wrist. Definitely a market for this. Thank you. You would make an NHS radiographer very happy if you could do this!

I have just purchased the charge 4 and would absolutely love a silicone clip. Would be perfect for my sport 3 times a week

[Ykhalid]

Definitely something that a lot of NHS staff would benefit from

I would love something like this for my place of work where I'm not allowed to have wristwear in certain areas! I tried keeping my charge 4 in my pocket and it worked fine aside from the 8 floors it said I climbed when the building I work in had no change of elevation whatsoever.

Wish I knew this didn’t have a clip accessory. I work in a restaurant 60 hours a week and cannot wear the wristband. Ugh.

Any chance of creating a clip for the Charge 4?

I do martial arts ( which is a sport available in the charge 4) and also can’t wear it. Clip would be super awesome for me

Pkease orovide a clup for tge charge

[Becabeca]

Me🖐 I would definitely use a clip for the charge 4. My husband any myself don’t always want to wear a watch on our wrists. I googled this today and came across this thread.

Yes please! Just purchased a fitbit charge 4 two days ago and have had to swap the wrists already as it irritates my wrist bone too much and is very uncomfortable. I would love a clip for this product. I don't think I can wear it on my wrist much longer. Have tried moving it around and tightening/loosening but discomfort remains.

Please develop a clip for the Charge 4. I really miss the One I had. I play the violin and do not like wearing a wrist band. 

[Nanncy]

I would love this too please! I work as flight attendant and we have this rule that we can’t wear anything but mechanical watch at work. And you can imagine how much we walk during work, I don’t wanna miss counting those steps for the challenge!

Yes - I would definitely love a pocket clip!!  I have only ever had Zips or Ones and the last one of these died on me, so I'm getting a Charge 4.  I don't like having anything on my wrist if I am not measuring my heart rate.

[Kscott1982]

Definately want a clip for my charge 4. Previously had the zip and one for this reason. Come on Fitbit so many people asking for this. 

[Flareup]

I suffer from minor skin allergies periodically and without warning and so far without any identified cause.

I was given a Fitbit Charge 4 for Christmas and I am quite badly affected by the skin contact with the wrist strap. This has become a daily issue on both wrists whilst wearing my Charge 4. I'm really careful about how I look after and treat my skin, but this does not prevent the rash on my wrists. I've tried stopping wearing the device for a few days to allow my skin to recover but the flareup starts within an hour or so of fitting the device.

Can you please create a clip holder that will allow me to wear the device with minimal skin contact.

I've read several other posts by people who seem to have had a similar experience.

[BigJoe309]

I have a Fitbit One, but its getting a  little old (battery life), I'd like to move to the Charge 4 but not unless I can clip it on my belt - I may occasionally put it on my wrist but I haven't worn a watch for over 10 years so don't want to go back.

[Flareup]

The problem was associated with skin contact. I did try just putting the Charge 4 in my pocket. Works in a basic way of recording steps/distance but not heart rate etc. Tried wearing as a watch on top of a thin tee shirt and seems to work for basic movement response. Basically all I want it for. Fitbit don’t make a clip holder for the Charge 4 but I think Amazon sell something that seems to work based on purchasers reviews. Hope this helps.

I'll second this. Being able to clip it I to my bra fir netbal would be the answer to my prayers 🎉🤾🏻‍:female_sign:

I love my charge 4 it’s great for tracking swimming and other activities. I used to have another tracker with a super strong magnet that I could attach to my bathing suit or sports bra, I would love to see Fitbit create one!
