For the best experience, follow these tips on how to wear your Fitbit device.
Wrist-based devices
For the infinity band that comes with Fitbit Charge 5, Fitbit Charge 6, Fitbit Sense series, Fitbit Versa 3, and Fitbit Versa 4:
- Slide the bottom band through the first loop in the top band.
- Tighten the band until it fits comfortably, and press the peg through one of the holes in the band.
- Slide the loose end through the second loop until it lies flat on your wrist.
For our other bands, place your device around your wrist, and fasten the clasp.
For any of our wrist-based devices, it’s important to make sure it isn’t too tight. Wear the band loosely enough that it can move back and forth on your wrist.
For step-by-step instructions, choose your device on the Fitbit help site to review the user manual.
Clip-based devices
Securely clip your device with the screen facing outward to your clothing. Confirm your tracker is set to WORN on Wrist 
(Inspire and Inspire 2) when you wear your tracker on your wrist, and CLIPPED on Body
(Inspire and Inspire 2) when you wear your tracker in the clip accessory.
Wrist-based devices
Make sure your wrist setting in the Fitbit app matches the wrist that you wear your device on (dominant or non-dominant). For more information, see How do I change the wrist setting on my Fitbit device?
For more details, review our Wear and Care page and our Product Safety information.
Clip-based devices
Secure the clip, with the screen facing outward, to a shirt pocket, bra, pants pocket, belt, or waistband. Try out a few different locations to see what's most comfortable and secure for you.
If you experience discomfort or irritation when wearing your device in contact with your skin, clip it to another piece of clothing, such as your belt or pocket.

- Regularly clean your band and wrist—especially after working out or sweating. Clean the band with a soap-free cleanser (like Cetaphil). Don’t use hand soap, body soap, dish soap, hand sanitizers, cleaning wipes or household cleaners, which could get trapped beneath the band and irritate your skin. Always dry the band and your wrist well before putting it back on. We recommend that you allow your band to air dry.
- The materials used in our leather, metal, knit, or woven accessory bands are intended to be worn during normal daily activity and not during high-intensity workouts or sleep. In general, these bands are not water-resistant or splashproof. They shouldn’t be soaked when cleaned; instead, dampen a cloth with water to clean these bands. Don’t store these bands in direct sunlight, at high temperatures or in humid conditions, as that may cause discoloration or damage over time.
- To minimize the risk of discoloration to our lighter colored and leather bands, avoid prolonged, direct contact with dark-colored clothing, as color transfer may occur.
