Swimming with Fitbit blaze

[amytaylorgj]

I was just wondering if anybody's ever gone swimming with the fit bit blaze? If so was it OK or did it ruin it?

You cannot swim with any of the Fitbit trackers. They are not intended to be submerged. Also, the Blaze has an altimeter in it to measure floors. Water would enter inside through the port and ruin your Blaze.

Fitbit did not design the Blaze for swimming. If it is important to you, there are other fitness trackers that support swimming and have altimeters for measuring floors climbed (or elevation climbed while biking).

Fitbit rates they charge at 1ATM or 10 meters, this basically means it should survive an accidental spill. Please remember this 1ATM test is performed by lowering the pressure slowly in stationary water, swimming are current could easily push these limits. 

That said my feeling, will the glue on the band stand up to water? 

Fitbit also has no logic for when the user is swimming the data recorded will be useless.

No Fitbit supports swimming. Other brands support swimming. Discussing ATM rating is pointless, it's a static pressure test. There is no standard for common water activities, the international standard required every company to make their own claims about support for water activities.
