*Sale applies to select Fitbit products and accessories on while supplies last. But I tend to be paranoid about losing things.Īlso, I would suggest that if you want the Clip option back on the HR, you go here and vote. I will say that as absolutely secure as the Clip felt on my bra strap, I'm not sure I'd run with it. But I wish Fitbit would let us know what the reasons were for this change, since having the clip is a great feature. Or does the heart rate monitor cause the HR to run hotter? Also no idea. If that's a possibility I may cover that strip with some electrical tape. There is a metal strip on the inside of the Clip, can that do some kind of damage to the heart rate monitor? I have no idea. I'm really not sure why this change was made.

I'm planning on doing more tests this week. I was actually pretty surprised to see that for both half-mile walks, the HR registered 1,125 steps, even though I wasn't able to switch the algorithm to the Clip setting. I walked half a mile with the HR in the Clip on my bra strap (distance measured by the Runtastic app on my phone), and then another half a mile with the HR on my wrist. I took a walk today to test it out, and I turned off the Phone GPS setting on the HR first, just in case that gives it some step help (no reason to believe it does, but turned it off just in case). The HR seems to fit just fine in the clip. So at the time I ordered the Clip I'm fairly confident that it had not been deemed incompatible with the HR yet, but I can't be sure. I also *think* I would have noticed the big warning on the Clip's product page about it not being compatible with the HR, but can't guarantee that because sometimes I miss things (pretty sure, though). Nobody warned me that the HR was not compatible with the Clip. I went to an event for bloggers for the launch of Inspire and Inspire HR, and when they asked me which one I wanted I said that I wanted the HR, because I wanted to use it with the Clip, and mentioned that I was going to order one as soon as I got home. However, I have not received any other compensation from them, and I've purchased two Fitbits on my own in the past. Hey, I think I'm the person Carrie is following on Facebook about this! I came here looking for info but I guess I'm going to give some instead.įirst off, though, full disclosure: I received a Fitbit Inspire HR and a metal mesh band to review, from Fitbit.
