Getting to know your Fitbit Ionic

Wearing your Fitbit Ionic

Your Fitbit Ionic should be worn on your wrist. While it may track stats such as steps and floors when
placed in a pocket or backpack, it is most reliable on the wrist. For all-day wear, your Fitbit Ionic should
usually rest a finger's width below your wrist bone and lay flat (as you would normally wear a watch).
As with all heart-rate monitoring technology, whether a chest strap or a wrist-based sensor, accuracy is
affected by personal physiology, location of wear, and type of movement. For improved heart rate
accuracy keep these tips in mind:
1. Experiment with wearing the tracker higher on your wrist during exercise. Because blood flow in
your arm increases the farther up you go, moving the tracker up a couple inches can improve the
heart rate signal. Also, many exercises such as spinning cause you to bend your wrist frequently,
which is more likely to interfere with the heart rate signal if the tracker is lower on your wrist.

2. Do not wear your tracker too tight; a tight band restricts blood flow, potentially affecting the heart
rate signal. That being said, the tracker should also be slightly tighter (snug but not constricting)
during exercise than during all-day wear.
3. With high-intensity interval training or other activities where your wrist is moving vigorously and
non-rhythmically, the movement may prevent the sensor from finding an accurate heart rate.
Similarly, with exercises such as weight lifting or rowing, your wrist muscles may flex in such a
way that the band tightens and loosens during exercise. Try relaxing your wrist and staying still
briefly (about 10 seconds), after which you should see an accurate heart rate reading.

Specifying dominant or non-dominant wrist

By default Fitbit assumes you wear your tracker on your non-dominant wrist. If you wear your tracker on
your dominant wrist instead (meaning, the hand you write with), change this setting. You can find the
Wrist setting in the Fitbit app or in your device settings on fitbit.com.

Using your Fitbit Ionic in wet conditions

Your Fitbit Ionic is splash-proof, rain-proof, and can withstand even the sweatiest workout. It is not
designed to be worn swimming. We also recommend removing your tracker before showering. After
getting your tracker wet, dry it thoroughly before putting it back on. For more details, see
