Fitness band?

[titaniumSS]

Has anyone seen any fitness bands for the Note 3 yet? I wanted one for my S3 when I got it but I couldn't find any until months after so I never worried about it. This time around I'd like to find a solution since I'll be keeping this phone for at least 16 months (like I find I did with the S3) and frequent the cardio regularly now.

I've used the Jawbone Up band and Fitbit Flex. I prefer the Flex. The mobile app is more user friendly than the one for the Up.

I was just meaning an armband type casing when I go on runs. Those are great suggestions for accessories though, the fitbit seems to be better (coworkers of mine have had their Jawbones die prematurely).

Armband, gotcha. With this phone being so big, I wouldn't be wearing it on my arm, but I'm only 5'4". While jogging I wear men's shorts with the big pockets because of this. Just put it in my pocket and thread the earbuds under my shirt to prevent my arms or hands getting tangled in the cord.

lol my problem with that is I hate my phone swinging in my shorts while running. Currently I just hold my phone in my hand while running and it works but I'd like a hands-free approach this time around, haha.

Good luck finding one! I've been forced to use my old iPod since selling my Note 2. It has an armband and the one time I tried it out, I didn't care for it... Since the Note 3 is lighter, it shouldn't feel too bad in the pocket.

I use something like this with my current phone (iPhone 5), but will have to find one big enough for my Note 3 after it arrives. I ran a full marathon without any problems...besides my body. The trick to is have one that is waterproof too or just bring a ziplock sandwich bag with you if you get caught in the rain.

Holy hell batman, it's like running with a tv on your arm lol. You're brave, I couldn't do that haha.

I agree, armbands are good though. Had an armband for my iphone 5. Luckily, I only do cardio in the gym now.

I'll probably look into that when my Heartbeats kick the can. Thanks for that suggestion, though. Seems more convenient.

I bought this one from Amazon, and it works pretty good for me.

I wonder if that will work for the Note 3. Hmm, how snug is it for your Note 2?

On it own it's pretty snug. If you have an average sized arm 13-17", this band will be fine. My arm are about 19.5", so I bought an extender by the same company so I could maintain feeling in my arm while working out..... LOL

The band works great, I run, cycle and lift weight with no issue. Plus you can't beat the price. You should be able to find the extender on Amazon too, if you need the link let me know.

EDIT: I'm sure it will fit the Note3, because they're roughly the same size.
