Swim / Beach clip for trackers

Please would you make a waterproof clip for swimming and beach activities.  As users are able to link more than one device to their account it would only need to be a cheap clip-on, like Misfit's Flash.  It's very frustrating that none of your more slimline trackers are beech proof.  I found a similar request from 2 years ago that had a lot of votes.  It seems like you're not listening Fitbit.....

 

I really think that this could be done as a cheap 'additional' item, almost an impulse buy, like new straps etc. The misfit Link is only $25.

 

Come fitbit!!  You can do it!! 🙂

Hi there @moreteaplease. Thank you so much for your idea! Something like waterproof clip or cases for the Fitbit trackers could be very helpful for all of those users that practice swimming or other beach activities.

 

Any other ideas or requests you  might have, feel free to share them or vote for them in case they have already been posted in this board. Thanks!

Sometimes I like to wear a clip on (Zip,One).  Unfortunately, I also sometimes forget to take it off my clothes and it finds its way through the wash.  My One lasted about 6 trips through the laundry.  My Zip has gone through about 3 times.  My One died after the 6th trip.  Today, I found that while my Zip made it through the last wash (it was still on and tracking in the dryer), today, it is dead.  I don't think it's the battery because the battery was full the other day.  (Although I will try to get  a new battery just in case). Would be nice if these trackers could be waterproof.

Hello, 

i would like a tracker that you could clip on your garment that has a Heart Rate 

Monitoring. A  small siize not much bigger then the zip also if waterproof that would be great.

I guess that the fitbit would have to come with a chest strap too to measure the heart rate as it wouldn't be possible to measure the heart rate from a clip on tracker
