Forget screenless: Fitbit Air users have started going bandless
And apparently it still works just fine.
Fitbit Air users have begun experimenting with unconventional ways to wear their fitness tracker, ditching the traditional silicone band in favor of alternative methods. Some individuals are attaching their tracker directly to their skin using athletic tape, while others have placed it on their ankle, securely held in place by their sock.
These non-standard wearing options are not officially endorsed by Fitbit, but users report that they do not significantly impact the tracker's performance. The Fitbit Air is a budget-friendly, minimalistic wearable designed to passively monitor physical activity without displaying a screen. In a recent roundup by 9to5Google, a selection of Reddit posts showcased creative ways Fitbit Air users have adapted their tracker placements, with many resorting to taping the body of the device directly to their bodies, including their biceps.
