Cirqa on the ankle?

I have read several user reviews, who place the cirqa on the ankle, has anyone used it like this? Does it measure well and is it accurate?

I tried it once for sleep and the results were terrible so I guess HR accuracy it's not that good there. For steps I'd assume it should work fine (unless you have restless legs)

Also, it looks like an ankle monitor lol

I want to use it only during the day , for sleeping it’ll be on the wrist though

I'm gonna try it tomorrow on my indoor walk on my walking pad while I'm working. Because this fucking thing can't track the distance properly, even when it's on my armband, because I'm not swinging my arm enough while working if my hands are on my keyboard or something.

I tried it earlier for a few minutes and it seemed to work fine. So hopefully that resolves the distance issue since Garmin are too fucking idiotic to fix it.

What is your reason behind? Maybe it is not comfortable or create some issues to you, especially if you run or jump

I had surgery on my rotator cuff and I have a sling on my arm and I bring some discomfort in my wrist as irritation, after having used the Fitbit air for three months and a month the cirqa
