I used to love my Jawbone Up for this exact use case. Didn't want to wear a Fitbit/Apple Watch as I already had nice watches, so just wanted to have a fitness monitor that was subtle.

Tried the Oura ring but nowadays it requires a subscription for pretty much everything. Waiting to see if a nice device comes out that's integrated into Apple Health, honest have a screen and doesn't look a bit daft if you're wearing a mechanical watch.

Yeah I’ve done it, it’s fine. It’s like the tech bro special

[–] -ceoz@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I do that. It's alright. I'd prefer not to do it but it beats having 2 watches. People don't care

[–] salmonguelph@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Yep. Used to do it. People say 'youre wearing two watches?" And you say "ones a fitness band" then the conversation is over.

yeah that would look weird. when I used to use a fitness band I would only using when actively exercising and put my regular watch back on after

Works OK with Xiaomi Mi Band though maybe not so much with the latest one as quite a bit bigger

Yes! I wear a Garmin Vivosmart 4 because it's relatively low profile on my right and a watch on my left. I've never had anyone comment on it and it allows me to get notifications discreetly while in business/church attire.

I don't double with an Apple watch but I wear a fitbit on my non-watch wrist. I keep it kins busy with various bracelets so it just looks like another one, but I wouldn't choose a tracker with a large face that looked like a second watch; personal preference.

I wear an Apple Watch on one wrist and a mechanical watch on the other. In two years I had exactly one person ask about it. Told them ‘one is for fitness tracking, the other because it looks great’. Apparently that was a satisfying answer and the person went on with her day.
