Is Blaze Waterproof?

[RobynY]

After looking at all sorts of reviews online and checking (see Google search response) I am now finding out after I purchased this watch that I can't get it wet?

Thanks for your participation in the Community @MrKane, @Rich_Laue and @MarkMM.

Regarding your inquiry about if the Blaze is waterproof, all Fitbit trackers and watches are water resistant, which means they are rain proof and splash proof and can stand up to even the sweatiest workout. Whenever you get your device wet, dry it thoroughly before putting it back on.

For more information about your water resistant device, as recommended please see the help article Can I swim or shower with my Fitbit device?.

If you need anything else, let me know.

And that is why I say that we are waiting for @MrKane to document his source, even though 33 feet does not make the unit water resistant to swimming.

this is absolutely not true. check the website yourself.

Water Resistance

Fitbit Blaze is sweat, rain and splash proof, but is not swim proof. We recommend taking it off before showering, as it’s best for your skin if the band stays dry and clean.

@reecemarkowsky I'm not sure which comment your referring to that is absolutely not true. 

The title of this thread has a problem in that there is no legal definition of waterproof. At best a product can only be advertised as water resistant

I know first hand the blaze is water RESISTANT not waterproof.. it can handle the occasional dunk on accident but nothing more. If true waterproof is your desire and something equal to blaze i suggest ionic. I am an owner of both models

Sorry @ArkAngel9978 no watch can be labeled waterproof, since there is no legal definition of the term Water Proof.
