What type of fitness tracker do you wear with your Rolex
Just wondering what fitness trackers folks wear when wearing a watch?
I use my Sub C as a daily wearer and wear it 5-6 days a week. I want to get a fitness tracker but the ones that have all the cool features have a clock. I almost find it kinda funny to have a clock on both wrists. Do you guys just wear a tracker with a clock to get the cool features and just wear your watch on the other arm? Do you have a tracker without a clock? I also don’t want to do the “not wear Sub during workouts”. I want to track steps all day etc not just when I am working out so I want to wear something all day but still wear the Sub too. Ideally all the features of the Fitbit charge 2 is what I want, but personally I like the Flex 2 since it does not have a clock. I wish the flex 2 did a couple more monitors like HR etc. |

Fitbit Charge 2 works for me and I never notice the time on it, even when I'm wearing it on my left wrist with my watch.
Just to note, I wear my tracker on my left wrist because on most days, I bowl in league or for lessons and the tracker will not fit over my glove, so there really isn't a choice. Because I'm usually dressed sub-casual, that practice hardly detracts from my "style." I let you know this because where to wear the tracker is a hot topic on these boards. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=577338

Wow surprised I missed that thread. I would not have started my thread . That gives me the info I wanted. I am gonna get the flex 2 and just wear it on my right wrist. I don’t need a heart monitor that bad and I do like that it’s waterproof. I am just used to not taking watches etc off in the water. |

I do not wear a fitness tracker...but when I workout I always wear a Polar heart rate monitor (H7) connected to an app (I love Runtastic) on my iPhone. For years I used Polar sports watch RS300X along with Runstastic, but now only Runtastic. Personally, I do not see the need to continuously track my fitness level 24-7 by wearing a Fitbit or Garmin Vivo or other fitness tracker like that... I also believe that those who exercise or workout regularly (3-5 times a week) do not need one either. However, I do need to track and monitor my heart rate during a workout and training session, to make sure that I'm in the target heart rate zone, that's why I wear a heart rate monitor when I workout, but I take it off afterward. So, I do not wear a fitness tracker, but I do wear a heart rate monitor. |

I have a Charge 1 on my right wrist. My wife says it looks fine, but when we went to the apple store and I tried an apple watch on my right wrist, she said I looked ridiculous.
If I were buying now, it would probably be an Alta HR, or just give in and wear an apple watch instead of my daily wearers. |

I never wore a mechanical watch in the gym, out of place imo.
I wear my apple watch nike in the gym every day, it just works. Time tracking, heart rate, calories, comparing results with previous workouts, water resistant, light weight with amazing screen, integration with health app on the iphone.. etc |

Just the Rolex. My metabolism tells me how I'm doing...pulse rate...breathing...sweat... that is all you need to monitor.

I've been wearing a Garmin VivoSmart HR+ for the last year on my right wrist. (heartrate and GPS). It's a narrow sliver like the Fitbits so unobtrusive. I'm no spring chicken anymore so setting fitness goals, then tracking and keeping them is important to me. I mostly walk, climb stairs, and mountainbike, the Garmin does it all and connects with smartphone, PC, and other Garmin devices.

I don't wear/need a 'fitness tracker'. I keep time, laps, etc in my head.

I got the flex 2 since it doesn't show anything such as the time. I mainly use it to track my sleep and use the vibration alarms.
