OP here. picked mine up to day. There must be different models. Mine is the size of an 80s Walkman (at least) and it doesn't clip onto my belt, but has a belt with it to put around my waist. I did decide to get it on a non-working day just b/c of how noticeable it is.

I think there must be different models: mine was the size of an 80s pager. It didn't have a carrier, either - just a belt clip. I let the wires go down my shirt (which I left untucked) and it wasn't noticeable at all. One of the leads was pretty high on my chest, though, so I had to consider necklines.

I just finished a three week period with a Holter.

The only way for it *not* to be noticed, in my opinion, is if you dress in separates and hide it with scarves and jackets. It's the size and shape of an 80s walkman. With wires. Can you tell I hated it?

After two days, I got tired of it and of hiding it and just wore it openly. If I had a dress on, I wired through the neckline and wore it on the neck carrier. If I wore a skirt, I ran the wires through the bottom of my top and connected it to the hip carrier. That was less obvious.

I still hated it so very very much.

I wore a suit jacket and a scarf, and I don't think it was noticeable. But I will say that it was much bulkier than I expected. I would work from home if that's an option, but check with your doc -- usually they want you to do normal activities, so not sure if that matters.

I am looking to understand how noticeable this is. I would like it not to be noticed at work....should I work from home the day that I get this hooked up?
