Can you wear them on your ankle. As I'm a nurse and not allowed to wear wrist watch or fitness band. Thanks

    I've seen a post before where someone said they wear theirs on their ankle bc their job doesn't allow it. You can always call their customer service and ask if it would effect accuracy.

    I am also a Nurse and keep mine in my pant scrub pocket. It still keeps track of my steps during my work day.

    You can wear the clip on type fitbits on your bra, in a pocket, whatever.

    I use a Misfit Flash.The band fits on my ankle (on the loosest setting) and I feel like it gives me a more accurate step reading than on my wrist. It also comes with a clip that I sometimes use on my shoe and/or sport bra.

    I'd recommend a FitBit One. Realistic burn rates and clips discreetly to your bra. No point having a wrist band device if you can't wear it for work and the clip on ones only measure full body movement rather than hand gestures. I'd replace with the same in a heartbeat!
