Can I travel with my fitness tracker with me on a flight?

Can I take my fitness tracker with me on a flight? should it cause any issues while passing through security?

Best Answer

I took my Fitbit HR on a flight from Australia to New Zealand in January 2016 and there were no problems at all either way - since the device looks like a watch it was not questioned, and its function was unaffected by X-rays. The main thing to consider (and prepare for) is the possible loss of a bit of data due to the change in time zones.

Yes, you can wear your watch through airport security. Just keep it on your wrist, especially if you're afraid that it might get scratched or stolen if you put it in a tray.

Be prepared to remove your watch at security... At Newark Liberty International Airport (and other airports under the rule of the TSA), they don't. If you're worried about your watch getting snatched or scratched while going through security, we suggest tucking it into a pocket of your carry-on bag.
