Next, make sure the tracker is in the right place on your wrist. To confirm your settings, go to your account, tap Ionic and then select either Left or Right for both “Handedness” and “Wrist.” First, let your Fitbit app know which wrist you’re wearing your new Fitbit Ionic on-your non-dominant hand is preferred since the extra movement from your wrist can impact your charts.
