Can I use X3 Performance (ParaForce) Bands with the X3 Force?Updated a month ago

During the calibration process, you're expected to use only the white band that comes with the X3 – not the white Performance (Paraforce) band – so that the app can compare the raw load sensor data with the amount of force that this band is estimated to produce when used by someone of that height. The app then calibrates itself based on that comparison. 

Once you have calibrated the bar correctly with the standard white band, you are free to use the X3 Performance (ParaForce) bands. You will get a real, live readout based on the load sensor's actual outputs. You can also stack the X3 Performance (ParaForce) bands, and the app will report the forces registered for that.

If you do stack bands, you'll have to make a note in the notes section of that exercise for your reference. 

We didn't make that a standard option within the app since not all X3F owners will have Paraforce bands. We don't want to confuse anyone, and we recommend against stacking the regular X3 bands.
