Fitbit and magic band...do you wear both?

[Robmom]

I'm glad I saw this post, because I was actually just thinking about this the other day. I have two Fitbits, so maybe I'll wear the clip on one on this trip.

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!

I did the same thing on a couple of occasions.

I too have been wondering about wring both. when you walk though in which side is the MB reader on?

There's no consistency. It depends on what line you get in!

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

I was told the same thing three weeks ago. I wore mine on different arms.

On our May trip I wore my charge and 2 magicbands on the same arm. (Wearing 2 since my youngest always takes her off and it was easier). No problems. Tried different arms but couldn't get use to it.

From what I've noticed some people have difficulty scanning and the only thing they have on their arm is the MB. The fitbit has nothing to do with it.

Add me to the list of wearing one on each arm... and constantly scanning my FitBit at the tapstyles instead of my MB. I also always try to scan my YMCA card at CVS so I think it's probably me

both on same arm no problems multiple trips.

Just curious if you wear your Fitbit and magicband on the same arm or different arms! Can the two interfere with each other?

Some Photographers tell me that they CAN interfere with each other when worn on the same arm, or more specifcally that the reader they use to scan your MB can get messed up by the fitbit.

I wear my fitbit on my left arm, and my MB on my right sometimes , bu it's awkward for me to scan my MB and do the finger scan with my right hand when my MB is on my right arm. So most of the time lately I have been wearing my MB puck in the magic keeper on my lanyard. I'm much happier that way.

On most rides there are two of them next to each other, one on the right and one on the left, so that two people can scan at the same time. You can use either.
