It’s summertime and the livin’ is easy—staying on top of your activity tracking should be too. Resist the urge to ditch your tracker when the mercury rises, a wedding pops up, or you’re heading out of town. There’s a Fitbit accessory* for every occasion—even during the dog days of summer. Below, five that can help you beat the heat.
5 Summer-Friendly Fitbit Accessories
If You: Plan on Working Up a Sweat
Wear: The Fitbit Charge 2 Sport Band
Why: Moisture is no match for this workout-ready accessory. In addition to being rain and splash proof, the Charge 2 Sport Band is dotted with perforations that encourage air-flow, helping sweat evaporate off your wrist. Shown below in cobalt, it’s also available in black and coral.
If You: Want to Keep Your Wrists Bare
Wear: The Fitbit Flex 2 Pendant
Why: On those hot summer days when it feels almost unbearable to have anything against your skin, this lightweight stainless-steel necklace provides hands-free tracking. Available in 22K gold-plated and stainless-steel silver, it’s an easy way to dress up even the breeziest sundress.
If You: Are Exploring a New City
Wear: The Public School for Fitbit Type III Paracord Bracelet
Why: Inspired by parachute cords, this braided black band is made from nylon paracord material and gunmetal PVD-plated stainless-steel hardware that’s as rugged and stylish as you are. Want to wear it tighter? Just pull the ends; the retention pull makes adjustments easy and can accommodate a wide variety of wrist sizes.
If You: Are Hitting the Beach or Pool
Wear: The Fitbit Flex 2 Classic Band
Why: This swim-proof Flex 2 pebble is water resistant to 50 meters. Pair it with one of the classic bands available in four fun colors, or buy a pack of three to have the perfect option on hand for any occasion.
If You: Need Festival-Worthy Flare
Wear: The Tory Burch Metal Hinged Bracelet in Iridescent
Why: When the sun catches this chic, multi-colored Fitbit Flex 2 accessory, you’ll definitely stand out in the crowd. If your look is little more casual, opt for the iridescent fretwork and double-wrap navy leather band.

Not happy my son bought me a Fitbit watch which I love for my birthday 29/08/2016 and it stopped working a week after warranty ran out. I called the store he bought it from but they said sorry a week too late
