Where these two actually differ
- We flag Elastomer band degradation and leaching, Skin sensitivity or contact dermatitis from band material and Microplastics from band wear on the Fitbit and not on the Mophie.
- We flag Microplastics from case degradation on the Mophie and not on the Fitbit.
- The Fitbit is Plastic housing, elastomer band where the Mophie is Plastic housing, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
