So from what I've read elsewhere there seems to be quite the debate about fitbits and their accuracy tracking hockey related activity, but considering getting one for purposes off the ice. For those that wear one on the ice which would you recommend that keeps the distraction minimal and doesn't add much discomfort under the cuff? Thanks

I wear a FitBit Flex and don't even notice it when I'm playing.

I wear a Fitbit Blaze but I cover it with a sweatband to protect it while playing.

my accuracy is pretty good. it took it a few weeks to dial in but after that it's pretty much on the money as far as calories burned and heart rate.


always looking for non Reebok L & XL shells......

I wear a Charge HR and forget it's there within 3 minutes on the ice.

I wore my Mio HR on the ice several times and it did a good job while being completely unobtrusive. And BTW, if anyone wants to buy a barely-used Mio HR, drop me a line...

Yup, never bothered me either. Obviously step/stride count is going to be off but I like the heart rate monitor stats. Funny story... the other day I hit 10,000 steps with my shot on net that went in so my Fitbit was buzzing for the goal lol. 


Living the dream working for Adrenaline, the guys who invented the POWERFOOT. Took me 2 months to try it... then I quit my job and joined the company!
