Upper Armbands (sleeve) and Fobs style strap for Fitbit devices

In a world of superbugs and antibiotic resistance it's so important to be bear below the elbows in hospital and healthcare settings. Staff are not allowed to wear watches/fitness trackers on wrists. I have seen several other posts regarding this. Please can Fitbit develop a fob watch style strap so we can wear our trackers on our chest area of uniform. There are hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals out there who could benefit from this. I had a clip on fitbit which fell off my uniform crossing a road and got squashed by a car! It still worked but was too flat to fit back in it's charger so eventually died! I need something more secure with a pin. Surely there must be a market for this???

Hi @mmartinezflores, Thanks for taking the time to explain why you'd like to wear your Versa 3 in your bicep using a Fitbit armband. This idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, so I’ve moved your post here. While this isn't currently planned at this moment, we have left voting open so we can keep tracking this request over time.
