Just curious if you wear your Fitbit and magicband on the same arm or different arms! Can the two interfere with each other?
 
I usually wear my flex and mb together though I haven't been to a park yet with my mb 2.0
 

I don't bother with my fitbit on vacation because I already know I'm walking a ton! One less thing to charge.
I really don't even need it anymore as I know how many miles I walk everyday, but it still gives me this feeling of satisfaction. :D

If my Fitbit battery dies or I forget to put it back on after charging, I'm always upset because it's like the steps didn't happen if they weren't tracked lol :tiptoe:
 
I tried wearing them both on one arm, but found it too uncomfortable. Now I just wear my Gear2 instead of my watch. That works great for me.
 
I just have a Flex, so I found both on the same arm the easiest.

This.

I wear the Fitbit and a watch on my left arm. I put the puck thing from my Magic Band in a Magic Keeper and put it on a lanyard.
 
I moved my Fitbit Alta to my right arm and wore the MB on the left. I changed which arm I was wearing the Fitbit on in the app; not sure if that was necessary. I earn points for steps in my company health and wellness program, so wear the Fitbit while on vacation
 
I wore them on different arms. The only problem I ran into is that I kept trying to scan my Fitbit instead of my MB!
 
When people have to touch their MBs on the readers in my ticket booth, it works a lot better if they aren't wearing anything else electronic on the same arm. I don't know if that's to do with the specific kind of reader we have or what, because I've never heard of it being a problem at the main entrance touchpoints or at FP+ touchpoints.

Even so, that's why I wear my MB on the opposite arm from my Apple watch.
 
I wear both on the same arm. I push up my fitbit and put the MB closest to my fingers. Never had a problem.

I wear them on different arms too, but that's for comfort rather than RFID interference :)
 
Yup. But on different arms.

I was told by a Photopass Photographer that if they are worn on the same arm, it could interfere with their scanning device when they are scanning your magic band. This was a year ago.
 
Wear both, but one on each arm. I find trying to wear two things on one arm very uncomfortable.
