I work in the NHS with uniform rules being "bare below the elbow". I'm trying to get a bit fitter and have found that tracking step counts etc is a really good incentive for me.
I currently use my phone (I have a Galaxy S6 with the S Health app) which tends to be in my pocket to track steps but would really like something that would track a bit more detail (heart rate etc) for when I'm not at work.
My question is when I am at work would these wearable devices work to track steps while in my pocket or even on my ankle. I understand the gear fit2 logs when it is not worn. I'd like to know if this is when it is not detecting movement and so would work in my pocket or if anyone has tried them on the ankle.

Gear fit2/fitbit - Can't wear one at work. Do they still collect step data when not worn on wrist?
