![]() ![]() Fitbit says: “If your band gets wet – like after sweating or showering – rinse and dry it thoroughly before putting it back on your wrist. We presume you should do the same if any of the other Fitbits gets drowned.įirst off, get that Fitbit out of the water as fast as you can, and dry with a towel, or anything dry that will soak up as much of the dampness as possible. Drying out a wet Fitbitįitbit recommends that if its One, Zip or Ultra clip-on trackers get wet you should cover it in uncooked rice for 24 hours to extract the moisture from inside the device. Prolonged wetness – such as leaving your Fitbit in a washing machine – might well lead to damage see Fitbit’s drying tips below. Fitbits first smartwatch is also waterproof so you can take in the pool, and its one of the best Fitbit products to track your swims. ![]() Also, as the trackers won’t register your swimming efforts there’s little point taking it in the pool unless you don’t want to waste your step count to and from the changing room. So we would expect, but not guarantee, that a Fitbit trackers should be able to survive a shower or dip in the pool, but we wouldn’t recommend it if Fitbit says not to. It does not want another scandal like that, so it’s playing safe – and so you probably should too. The company had problems with its short-lived Force trackers due to allergic reactions to the band from some users, and had to withdraw the product> after just a few months. We believe that Fitbit recommends taking its trackers off before even a shower because it’s worried about possible skin complaints if the wet rubber has a long contact with the skin – and not that it will break the tracker itself. ![]() The Fitbit Surge is rated at 5 ATM, so it theoretically can be submerged to 50m depths, but again Fitbit says you shouldn’t swim or even shower in it. This means that the device should be just fine for a trip to the beach, pool workout, or daily shower. The Charge 2, HR and Blaze wristbands are rated as 1 ATM (or atmosphere), meaning they should be able to be submerged in water up to 10 metres in depth. Best answer: Yes, the Fitbit Versa 2 is rated swim-proof up to 50 meters. You can, however, buy interchangeable straps for the Fitbit Charge 2, Fitbit Blaze and Fitbit Alta. You can’t buy new straps for the other Fitbit wristbands, such as the Fitbit Charge, Fitbit Charge HR, or Fitbit Surge. ![]()
