The heart rate monitor on the Fitbit Charge HR is okay at best. Second off, the actual heart rate monitor. If I forgot one and had to wear a short-sleeve I would take it off since the edges were more obvious, it would slide around easier, and I didn’t want my partner getting annoyed by the sight of it. Please note though that the only way that I was comfortable wearing my Fitbit is beneath a long sleeved rash guard. With other people I’ve also noticed that if they were to grab it they would be kind enough to let go (I have nice training partners) and grab a gi grip instead. Doing this made it not as noticeable and if someone were to grab it the fabric would smooth out the hard edges so it wouldn’t hurt their hand but the downside was that it would make their grip stronger since it’s bulky if that makes sense.

The way that I would wear mine is always beneath a long sleeved rash guard. This is all for reference.įirst off from what I’ve gathered when I was looking the biggest question to be asked is how does the fitness watch hold up while training? Well it held up well to be frank. I lift weights 4 days a week, train 6 days, swim 2 days, and cardio 1 day. I also mostly train in Gi and seldom ever in no gi. I will provide some images of a class and training session (competition class) at the end. Unfortunately, mine broke due to a manufacturing error completely unrelated to Jiu Jitsu (housing around the charging port fell off).

Hello BJJ Reddit I just wanted to make a post about my experience wearing a Fitbit Charge HR during training.
